namjap ji and Aman singh ji
Very beautiful posts. While doing ardas we keep in our minds the memory of those who built a platform by going through brutal tortures to death for us to live in peace.
Who does that other than Sikhs? To forget the sacrifices of our ancestors is like being ungrateful.It is a tribute to The Creator who staged all that. I also feel strongly that Sikhs while doing ardas, are truly in surrender to HIM always as per Guru - waak, quoted by namjap

You are our Lord and Master; to You, I offer this prayer. This body and soul are all Your property. You are our our Mother and father and we are your children .
Obviously after being in love with HIM and with our unconditional surrender, do we need any thing?
