[QUOTE="singhbj, post: 80755, member: 5360"] Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh One day, I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah... the beauty of Waheguru's creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised Waheguru for His beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt the Lord's presence with me. He asked me, [B]"Do you love me?"[/B] I answered, "Of course, Waheguru! You are my Lord and Support!" Then He asked,[B] "If you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?"[/B] I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms, legs and the rest of my body and wondered how many things I wouldn't be able to do and thought about the things that I take for granted. I answered, "It would be tough Waheguru, but I would still love You." Then Waheguru said, [B]"If you were blind, would you still love my creation?"[/B] How could I love something without being able to see it? Then I thought of all the blind people in the world and how many of them still loved Waheguru and His creation. So I answered, "It's hard to think of it, but I would still love you." The Waheguru then asked me, [B]"If you were deaf, would you still listen to my word?"[/B] How could I listen to anything being deaf? Then I understood. Listening to Waheguru's Word is not merely using our ears, but our hearts. I answered, "It would be tough, but I would still listen to Your word." Waheguru then asked, "If you were mute, would you still praise My Name?" How could I praise without a voice? Then it occurred to me, Waheguru wants us to sing from our very hearts and souls. It never matters what we sound like. And praising Waheguru is not always with a song, but when we are persecuted, we give Waheguru praise with our words of thanks. So I answered, "Though I could not physically sing, I would still praise Your Name." And Waheguru asked, [B]"Do you really love Me?"[/B] With courage and a strong conviction, I answered boldly, "Yes Waheguru! I love You because You are the one and true God!" I thought I had answered well, but Waheguru asked, [B]"Then why do you sin?"[/B] I answered, "Because I am only human. I am not perfect." [B]"Then why in times of peace do you stray the furthest? Why only in times of trouble do you pray the earnest?"[/B] I had no answers, only tears. Waheguru continued.[B] "Why seek Me only in times of worship? Why ask things so selfishly? Why ask things so unfaithfully?"[/B] The tears continued to roll down my cheeks. [B]"Why are you ashamed of Me? Why are you not spreading the good news? Why in times of persecution, you cry to others when I offer My shoulder to cry on? Why make excuses when I give you opportunities to serve in My Name?"[/B] [B]"You are blessed with life.

How could I have been so cold? How could I have hurt God as I had done? I looked up at my Lord, and asked him "how much do you love me, Waheguru?" Our father Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji gave up his whole family and everything he ever had for us !
