Advice from a GurSikh - Jo Deesai Gursikhrra - Sedgley Street

In the Shabad I was reading
out in the beginning -

A Sikh and a GurSikh are talking
between themselves.

The Sikh doesn’t know much about the Guru.

And the Sikh has come to the GurSikh
and they’ve got a question for them.

They say I’ve come from far away
to you

to get you to tell me the way to my Guru.

The GurSikh is being asked to help
this Sikh find the Guru.

And in this Shabad there’s a lot of
responsibilty upon the GurSikh.

There’s a big responsibility on
the GurSikh’s shoulders.

That he doesn’t join the Sikh to himself
but to join the Sikh to Guru Sahib.

It’s very to easy to start becoming
the people that join someone to you.

But the responsibility of a GurSikh
is to join that person to the Guru.

So normally we read these Shabads
to the Guru

But actually the Sikh is saying it
to the GurSikh.

Now the response of the GurSikh
to this Benti is very important.

Because anybody can go ask someone
“let me meet the Guru”.

But the response of the GurSikh
is what the Guru is teaching us.

The GurSikh’s response to the Sikh...

There’s no other way.

He says
“if you want to walk upon this path then"

To walk upon this path we have to do
whatever the Guru is telling us to do

We can’t choose a little bit here
and a little bit there.

We have to follow the path set by the Guru

We have to give up desires of our mind.
what our mind thinks.

And forget all the other
loves of this world.

Just love the Guru, follow the Guru.

So the single-handed devotion
towards the Guru,

the desire to follow only what the Guru
is saying - this is true Sikhi.

This is Sikhi.

And that is what the GurSikh
has to respond to.

If someone came upto you and said
"Paaji do I have to do this?"

“Is it really important to do this
to meet my Guru?"

We can’t take the easy option and say
"we don’t need this, just enjoy yourself"

No, we’ve been given a Hukam (order)
by the Guru in this Shabad

that you must tell them following the Guru
is the only way.
