We haven’t yet come too far from the day when a minor strain of virus brought the entire world to its knees. Numerous businesses were hit, and while everyone in power or otherwise was doing the best that they could, the losses seemed unsurmountable. There was pressure, there was pain, there was the urgency to sustain and yet, tangible or intangible support seemed nowhere close! The hands were tied after all.
And while all of us tried to sail through it, the ones who survived were the ones who did not just fend for themselves but also made sure that they kept themselves mentally strong too! Reminds me of the concept of Miri-Piri coined by Guru Sri Hargobind Ji! He was the first one to wear 2 kirpans on himself. One, stood for Miri (or Ameeri) which means that a human has to be responsible for themselves, and second for Piri (or Peeri) which meant that the connection with spirituality cannot be afforded to be lost!
As the generations that are going through a hard time about both economic revivals as well as mental well-being, I feel that Miri-Piri couldn’t have made more sense for anyone else like it does for us!
Today, we all will celebrate the 354th Gurupurab / birth anniversary of the tenth Sikh Guru sahib - Guru Gobind Singh ji. He was truly a saint-soldier. May his benevolence be on us always and may we all be inspired by his teachings to do the right thing without any fear / Shubh Karman Te Kabhon Na Taronn

Oh God! grant me this boon, that I may never stray from doing good deeds.
That I shall not fear the enemy when going into battle. And with determination, I will be victorious.
That I may teach my mind this desire alone, to utter only Thy praises.
And when the last days of my life come, I may die in the might of the battlefield.
