" The fact is that today we are celebrating Baisakhi in the sprit, in

the name, in the day, in the time, in the space of our father, the

giver of the Amrit, Guru Gobind Singh. Years come and go, people will

come and go, governments will come and go, death and life is an

ongoing process, but Baisakhi lives for us, lives in us, lives around

us and this is the day when we ourselves are reborn to become

deathless.

 

The word is Baisakhi, the ecstasy of your worth and value in the

total prevailing self of the being. That day our father chose to

give us Amrit. In the spiritual world you are only entitled to

get `Charan paho,' from the lotus feet of your master or the Guru,

you get the touch and that's all. On Baisakhi, you get Amrit, from

the Five Beloved one who have been purified, tested and they do not

give you Amrit from the Five, they give you Amrit in the name of Guru

Gobind Singh.

 

You take Guru Gobind Singh in your heart, you call yourself Khalsa,

you remember him and see how this entire world will come to you,

watch my words.

 

Guru Gobind Singh gave a way of life in which there is no deception,

there is no negativity, there is no place for depression, there is no

place for defeat, its victory forever. We don't adapt that path.

Governments come, governments go, countries change their shape, form

and boundary, geography falls apart, God knows what is going on

tomorrow, what is going on today, but one thing will live forever and

that is Guru Gobind Singh's path, the path of ever growing victory.

 

Sikh is such a Sikh, Khalsa is such a Khalsa that when time comes the

glory is not in anything but such living death cannot kill you. Death

has no place to get you. That is Khalsa. `Nirbao, Nirvair, Akal

Moorath, Ajoonee, Saibhung, Gurprasad.'

 

That is Guru's touch. When nothing else touches you and you don't

forget who you belong to. That is the real wealth, that is Khalsa my

dear, that is Baisakhi, Ba-sakhi, for which there is nothing equal.

Just remember, the greatest strength of a nation is in its songs and

in its smiles. When the people sing their glories, and their children

smile, that nation nobody can conquer and that is what Guru Gobind

Singh has given you.

 

So please understand that, keep your Bana, Bani, Seva, Simran and

Guru's words in your heart and,

`Jaahaa jahaa khalsa sahib

Taahaa taahaa rachia ria-et.

Deg Teg Fateh, Birj ki pa & #307; , panth ki jeet,

Siri Sahib ji Sahai.'

 

It will continue.

 

Wahe Guruji ka Khalsa, Wahe Guruji ki Fateh. "

 

May you and the Guru live in the Spirit of Oneness in joyous

celebration of the Birth of the Khalsa.

 

All Divine Blessings to you on Baisakhi.
