Siri Singh Sahib Lecture Excerpt 10/5/96:
I am trying to make you understand that we are already five years into the Age of Aquarius. Whoever of us survives must understand what Nanak said: In the identity, Naam, I have established myself. And my identity is God. Minus Atma (soul) there’s nothing in me. I’m a dead body which will disintegrate or which will be put on a pyre or put in a graveyard.
The wick of God in you, as in the light of a candle, is the breath of life. And all breathe the same way. Some short, some long, some big, some hold it and some don’t. But so long as the breath is between us, we are alive.
You know that tomorrow is going to come soon and hit us, when people are going ask you, “Hold me, touch me, trust me, believe me, give me peace as you have got, give me light as you have got.” You take my word as granted, your doors will not hold them out. They shall mob you, wherever you shall be; nine hundred sixty million will grow up like mushrooms, you are not going to be asked.
You are just privileged to be the pioneers. That’s all. Don’t misunderstand me, I wish you could see what I am seeing and know. I see it, I clearly feel it and I experience it. So, it’s God’s plan, it is God’s scheme, it’s God’s will, nine hundred sixty million we shall be – it is heard from the very mouth of the father of the Khalsa.
The time is on us, you have the authority as you need, you have the situation you must face but you need to remember something: you will never enjoy happiness in your life by isolating yourself and separating yourself. Spirit of the Khalsa is in unity, in oneness.
For the last twenty-seven years, we have been legally sued, slandered, denied, taken out of the house of the Guru, and told that we can never be considered as Sikhs. Did it affect us? No. We became better, we became brave and we became the best. Calamity has never taken us down. Rise we must and this Khalsa Council is very special. You are setting the rules and the grounds to be, to be. Now it is our responsibility that with all our weaknesses and handicaps, we must try to go towards home.
With a spirit, with a mission of service, we shall not ask anything in return, never. And if I will be gone, my word shall stand as a decree and it’s a decree that we shall never ask for anything to be given to us, directly, indirectly, in association or in any complication. We shall only go to serve and give and those who cannot participate in this situation must not participate. That will be the gratitude and that will be the service and this is the policy we have to implement and honor. The day you start expecting something, on that day you will get into the miserable situation.
Dayndaa day lainday thak paahe
Jugaa jugantar khaahee khaahe
Hukamee hukam chalaa-e raaho
Naanak vigasai vayparvaaho.
- Japji Sahib, Guru Nanak
You must learn those lines. Give and I guarantee you, you will get a hundred fold, but I also put it on record, those who go there to take or steal or manipulate and do their hookery, their family shall go under the curse of poverty and shall be crushed by the time.
Therefore, you shall never expect anything in return when you do anything in the name of the Guru. You shall simply go and serve in the name of the Guru. You must understand that Guru Ram Das is a Lord of Miracles and His house stands as a crown on this earth. And those who are the servants of that crown, shall serve. You’ll be tested, tortured and mocked. It’s not your fault. It happens. But let you all understand this: when you go and serve in the Name of Guru Ram Das, the Lord of the Miracles, “Pooree ho-ee kaarmaat.” All miracles shall happen.
Dhan Dhan Ram Das Gur, jin siriaa tinay savaariaa. Pooree ho-ee kaaramaat aap sir jan haaray daaria.
Blessed, blessed is Guru Ram Das, the Lord who created Thee, He alone has embellished Thee.
Complete is Thy miracle. The Creator Himself has installed Thee on the throne.
(Swayas in praise of Guru Ram Das, by Rai Balwand & Satta, the drummer, Ang. 968)
Those who shall act in the Name of Guru Ram Das, God shall embody Himself to fulfill the act of performance. All I can do is to testify to it myself. All you can do is test it yourself, and we shall ask nothing in return.
I would like you to try something: once in your lifetime when you don’t have the answer, just call on Guru Ram Das and let Him take over. Make it a habit. I know your ego cannot take it. “Why should we not do it ourselves?” I’m saying, do what you can do, but when there’s nothing to do, then give Him a chance. There’s nothing wrong in that.
Sooner or later this Panth must carry the load for the world, and you must remain united. You have to use this miraculous power which is around you for the sake of humanity. I see it.
So, as a Panth we are self-cleansing, self-rinsing and self-purifying. And so long as anyone mocks us, so long as they make jokes about us, as long as they think they are the majority and we are the minority, we are safe; because the world is drunk with ego and arrogance. But out of all this a New Age is sprouting up – the Age of Aquarius – where there shall be knowledge and interlocking connection for each human being.
