Excerpts a talk given from October 8, 1998


In my consciousness, I have made a statement to myself. I have come to this country by the will of God and with the guidance of the Guru. I'll not build anything personal here. That's my will. That's my wish. When I depart, I depart exactly the way I was born. This has been built for the future generations to relate to. Some, in those generations, have to come out with self confidence by conquering the mind, by winning themselves to carry the weight at least ten times better than me. At least.

You are not my hope, you are not my tomorrow, you are not my virtues. You are the only virtue and hope of tomorrow for the whole world. Each one of you. Those who sit from Anchorage all the way to Miami, and Los Angeles all the way to the tip-top state, Maine (which nobody goes to except the maple leaves) - are fixed guide stations. To work on themselves and grow, and then go and teach the world how to be graceful.

There are two things to which this world has to listen: to be grateful and graceful. Those who do not practice this are spiritually criminal. They'll come and they'll go without anybody knowing and realizing what they came for and what they left for. Let us sincerely sit down, talk to our heart and head, speak with our neutral mind, and see what our path is. And let us walk on that path, totally conquering our mind, so that the world can trust us, believe us and be with us.

What can you do for me? Only one thing. We want a good tomorrow. We want the best tomorrow. So, take away everybody's sorrow, including yours. Then I can have a feeling, I can have a true feeling that you are a true Sikh of the Guru, and your mind is conquered by you.

I know what I have to do. I have to complete a journey from birth to death. I have to cover this journey, this distance, so you can have your destiny. I have nothing personal in it. I have come. I'll be gone. But on this planet, there shall be the order of the Khalsa, pure, with impact, with grace, with power, with values, with virtues. And some will love it. It will be through their grace that many will be healed, inspired and start living again. Through their generations, touch and ecstasy, many, many will be blessed with happiness.

When the pages of life are written on paper with Gurbani by the Guru's voice, you, mighty Khalsa, go and bow. The Siri Guru Granth Sahib is not paper; it's not a book. It's not all those ramalas. It is bound in the spirit, the language and bani of those who conquered their mind first and enriched themselves enough to become Siri Guru Granth.

Blessed are those hearts who understand they came on this earth to beat the beat of God, under the guidance of the Guru. That's the easiest way to master your mind. If you cannot see God in all, you cannot see God at all. We'll like to work on that avenue, to conquer our mind, to open our intuitive eye, so we can see all is one and one is all. That is the meaning of Ek Ong Kaar. I hope we'll continue growing, glowing and shall grace this earth under the will of Almighty God, our Originator, our Creator and our Excellence.

Wahe Guru Ji Ka Khalsa, Wahe Guru Ji Ki Fateh.
Many blessings to you.
