Guru Gobind Singh Jee’s Beard
Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa, Waheguroo Jee Ki Fateh.
Sangat Jee,
Once, someone asked Sant Attar Singh ji , ‘how come you’re a sant?’, to which he replied, ‘I lived my whole life respecting this beard as if it was Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s beard’.
Implying that
· he never showed his face in places where Guru ji wouldn’t have taken his own beard.
· he never said anything that Guru ji wouldn’t have said through his own beard.
· he never looked in the mirror and thought ‘Look how beautiful I am, rather he praised Guru ji for it was Guru ji’s beard on his face. -he never dared to take scissors and trim Guru ji’s beard
· infact he used his beard to wipe the feet of the saints ‘Gur ke Charan, Kes Sang Chaaareh’ Just like Guru Ram Das jee appeased Baba Sri Chand ji’s anger. Baba Sri Chand was angry that his father Guru Nanak ji never made him the second Guru. He went away from Sikhi and started his own sect. By the time of Guru Ram Das ji, his anger had calmed down. He came into Guru ji’s prescence and slightly arrogantly said ‘Why do keep such a long beard?’ To which Guru Ram Das Ji replied, ‘To wipe the feet of Saints’ and falling at the feet of this son of his beloved master Guru Nanak ji, Guru Ram Das ji wiped his feet. Baba Sri Chand was on old man by now and was taken aback. He said, ‘Now I understand why I didnt get the Guru-Ship, I didnt have humility as you have shown.’
Humble Benti To All Jeeo!
DONT ACT SO WEIRD
DONT TRIM YOUR BEARD!
Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa, Waheguroo Jee Ki Fateh.
