May 4, 2009 Last night before publishing my amended website, I added my email and Skype contact to my home page, inviting people to speak with me in person. This morning I sat at my desk to work on the manuscript and found my desk top continually inundated by spurioius requests for ichats, with come ons like "u hot chick" "u sexy mature", "Hi talk w me. I like ur prtty face" and "u like excitement? Go wid me."
I gave responses like, "People do not know how to be friends, especially on Skype. It is a waste of time," and "Tell me about ur work, ur family” and, finally, “u sick not Sikh."
At that point a man finally came through with, "sat sri akal g" a common Sikh greeting. Yet on answering the same there was no further response.
The following is text from the nicest caller of the bunch, fishing for some youny, not chasing it down for the kill: youny-fisher 5:35 AM hi 5:36 AM rea;;y u ;ook beautiful 5:36 AM really Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 5:42 AM Kindly tell me why you call.
youny-fisher 5:42 AM i like ur face
5:42 AM Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 5:43 AM It faces the Guru. 5:44 AM It is nice of you to greet me this morning, morning my time, but I just sat down at my desk to listen to Golden Temple from Amritsar kirtan and work on my book. Blessings!
youny-fisher 5:45 AM mean not like to chat with me as friend
Just then the morning's Hukam from the Golden Temple was about to be read. As I started to go to the Hukam web page to read along, I heard frantic sqawking outside my office window and rose from my desk to see two dogs gleefully bounding around trying to attack all my chickens at once, chasing one after the other, clamping them down and tearing at their feathers.
I ran outside in moccasain slippers to chase the bastards away. One was a retriever puppy found cowering by the dog run. The other, a husky, relentlessly chased my birds even as I ran after him shouting, "Get out! Get out!" Although the front gate was open, he slipped under a newly bent-up and broken opening in the side fence, the way he had come in.
I gathered up our friendly chicken Tiska, dead, and Stormy, our only homeborn chicken, who is suffering a deep gash on her back between her wings. She may make it, stormy as ever in her pain. Stormy is now in a favorite secluded nesting place in the feedroom with bowls of water and scratch by her side.
Lovely Lady, our stately white turkey was next, broken, lifeless, her feathers scattered across the farmyard. It would not be good for the children to see her this way. I scooped Lovely Lady up and placed her next to Tiska in a black trash bag and went out to rake up clumps of feathers torn from her body, shoveling them into the bag as well.
Trash has not been picked up yet. These brutalized dear ones will go out with it.
This morning's ichat requests had some purpose after all. I went back inside and wrote:
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 7:00 AM Dogs love chasing chicks. Two of them just killed our dear friend Tiska, a chicken, and our white turkey, Lovely Lady.
Reception of the Golden Temple broadcast blacked out while writing of this experience! It is Guru's way of letting me know it is past time for me to do Sat Kriya.
Sat Kriya pierced my sadness with Sat Nam in a powerful realization and acknowledgemnet of God's Will in all things.
On returning to my desk an hour later I read the following and wrote in a reply:
youny-fisher 7:11 AM ru have many chicks? 7:12 AM i like to add u pls 7:49 AM ru there??? 7:50 AM ru there
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa Pending
8:40 AM Sat Nam, I was meditating. I cleaned up all the feathers so the children would not have to see it. One chicken, born here, named Stormy, has a gash on her back, but she is as stormy as ever in her pain and may make it okay. Other fowl were not touched. I got out there in time.
Pending
It's funny. This morning I got a flurry of ichat requests from guys who think I'm a sexy chick. They are just like the dogs--they like the excitement of the chase, that's all. (End of chat)
Today's Hukam from the Golden Temple:
RAAG WADAHANS, THIRD GURU:
The mind wanders in the ten directions--how can one sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord? It is totally engrossed in sensuality, constantly tormented by sexual desire and anger. || 1 ||
Waaho! Waaho! Hail! Hail! Chant His Glorious Praise. The Lord's Name is so difficult to obtain in this age; under Guru's Instruction, drink in the subtle essence of the Lord. || 1 || Pause ||
Remembering the Word of the Shabad, the mind becomes immaculate, and then one sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord. Under Gurur's Instruction, one comes to understand his own self, and then he comes to dwell in the home of his heart. || 2 ||
O my mind, be imbued forever with the Lord's Love, and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord forever. The Immaculate Lord is forever the Giver of peace; from Him, one receives the fruits of the mind's desires. || 3 ||
I am lowly, but I have been exalted, entering the Sanctuary of the Lord. He has lifted up the sinking stone; True is His glorious greatness. || 4 ||
From poison, I have been transformed into Ambrosial Nectar; under Guru's Instruction, I have obtained wisdom. From bitter herbs, I have been transformed into sandalwood; this fragrance permeates deep within my being. || 5 ||
This human birth is very precious; one must earn the right to come into the world. By perfect destiny, I met the True Guru; I meditate on the Name of the Lord. || 6 ||
The self-willed manmukhs are deluded; attached to corruption, they waste away their lives in vain. The Name of the Lord is forever an ocean of peace, but the manmukhs do not love the True Word of the Shabad. || 7 ||
Everyone can chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har with their mouths, but only a few enshrine it within their hearts. O Nanak, those who enshrine the Lord within their hearts, attain liberation and emancipation. || 8 || 2 ||
In the next iChat I did my best to uplift the person. He started out being polite and kind-hearted, but was like the others, only a bit better hidden. No one has seen through the worldly illusion to their pure divinity, yet this session ended on a note of hope and good will.
divine_sparsh 12:47 PM hello 12:47 PM Sat shri akal ! 12:48 PM warm Greetings for you ! 12:52 PM are u there ?
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 12:58 PM Yes, I'll be here off and on today.
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:00 PM Yes, two dogs broke into my farmyard and killed a nice turkey and friendly chicken, children's pets. Another chicken born here was badly wounded.
divine_sparsh 1:00 PM my sympathies to the peace loving small pets ! 1:01 PM may GOD give peace to the departed souls ! i am sorry to hear this
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:05 PM It is all God's Will. How it all occurred and why is going up on the home page of my website today.
divine_sparsh 1:05 PM yes it is a big play and we are acting in it - where in GOD is a director !
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:06 PM It's pretty amazing actually. Today's Hukam from the Golden Temple goes right along with it.
divine_sparsh 1:06 PM well madam, i really would like to speak to you and see you as well ! 1:08 PM you have already made me curious about you ! 1:13 PM do u think- this is possible ?
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:18 PM Right now I'm putting children down for a nap. Seeing me isn't a priority. You can see me on my website. Blessings.
divine_sparsh 1:21 PM i am do not want to bother you while doing your work ! seeing you isnt a priority i agreed but still i am curious !
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:37 PM The chicken story is on my website with my picture on the home page, Sacred Offerings. You can see everything by going to http://www.yogagems.com
1:38 PM You are very kind. We may be in touch. Blessings always
divine_sparsh 1:44 PM yes thank you ! i did see the website - it is nice ! 1:44 PM and it would be my pleasure to be in touch with you
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:45 PM Tell me about yourself.
divine_sparsh 1:45 PM sure i would love to be like an open book ! 1:45 PM just ask me what do you wanna know
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:46 PM What do you most want out of life?
divine_sparsh 1:46 PM and also if you are ok with - i would love to have a voiced conversation !
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:49 PM Children are now sleeping and resting in my office with we. I will be free to talk in the evening, around 8pm my time, MT. Right now it is 1:48 PM my time. I usually reserve evenings for healing ardas sessions, which are purely by donation. Let me know if you would like to try this. It is very personal, and awesome in scope. You can read about it first on my site under services.
divine_sparsh 1:50 PM ok thank you for offering me this
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:50 PM You are welcome
divine_sparsh 1:51 PM but i guess i wont be free at that time - and unfortunately wont be able to accept this now - but yes i would like to try this out sure some time
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:52 PM I usually talk with people over the phone. I call them on my Vonage line where minutes are free.
divine_sparsh 1:53 PM and now as we have decided not to speak - here is the answer of your previous question - i would want to spread peace in my surrounding - to known n unknown poeple related to me - would want to live the life for their happiness and betterment
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:54 PM You sound like a servant of the Divine. May all blessings grace your path.
divine_sparsh 1:55 PM thank you for your blessings Guru 1:56 PM but with blessings i need your guidance also and solutions to some of my questions 1:57 PM i couldnt wait myself from putting your name into my list and so i did that without asking you !
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 1:57 PM How can I help you?
divine_sparsh 1:58 PM i wanted to discuss the same over the voiced talks actually - as i believe typing lacks the liveliness of the matter
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:01 PM I am unable to talk at this time.
divine_sparsh 2:01 PM as i made clear that how would i want my life to be - but still i am not able to make it like that - i couldnt conquer my anger also i couldnt conquer my desires
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:07 PM There is a mantra for conquering anger. Simply repeat the sounds of the letters G and O --, G O, G O, G O, continuously until the feeling goes away. Desire is good. Desire to be divine. Our destiny is to merge with infinity. Experience it--that is the aim of human life.
divine_sparsh 2:08 PM my desires are to be divine for sure 2:08 PM but with that other desires are also there - which are very strong
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:10 PM Put all your desires into one desire. I know from experience, even desiring a person, with a huge fixation, is simply a misplaced desire to merge with God. The more powerful the desire, the greater the purity of your love for the Divine. Put it where it will help the most. Pray for the world.
divine_sparsh 2:12 PM yes but how to conquer the attraction - i am having strong physical attraction towards the opposite sex - i am yet to conquer this
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:14 PM It is all the same energy. It is not a matter of how. It is a choice you make, to pour your power elsewhere, into prayer or into a project that will heal and help many people. It is not your energy, it is the energy of God pouring through you, misunderstood. You are much vaster than that.
divine_sparsh 2:16 PM but what should i do - i am not getting that actually 2:16 PM i am always searching the same thing at all the places - even i have desire and attraction towards you too - i am just being honest here
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:19 PM I meditate on infinite truth to penetrate every falsehood. All my energy works in harmony with divine forces to bring heaven to earth. It happens in ordinary, unexpected ways, like the killing of my chickens has deeper meaning. 2:21 PM In past lives I was related to the Sikh Gurus. I am not someone you are attracted for sensual reasons. You have come to me for some divine purpose. Trust your soul and intuition.
divine_sparsh 2:22 PM but when i am able to get the divinity of yours why my eyes are getting stuck on the shape of your bracier in the pic n no where else Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:24 PM What is a barcier? How can you get stuck there?
divine_sparsh 2:25 PM Bracier means Bra - the inner cloth of yours which covers your breats
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:26 PM What picture are you looking at?
divine_sparsh 2:26 PM the one which you placed in here Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:27 PM It is a photo of my face only.
divine_sparsh 2:28 PM yes but it does cover some of your chest part
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:31 PM You are also clean-shaven, to look like a baby. Babies have a natural fixation on breasts, for good reason. You are a grown man, needing nuturing as all human beings do. A picture will not give that to you. When you most need nuturing and it is no where to be found, give it. That is the cure.
divine_sparsh 2:34 PM how to give it ?
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:36 PM Be kind, helpful to all you meet. Serve when no one else is willing to. Smile at a sad person, even if they are dirty and unkept. If you cannot reach out to help people in need, you are more handicapped than someone in a wheel chair.
divine_sparsh 2:40 PM yes i would like to do that
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:41 PM You would find it much more fulfilling and real, reaching your heart and soul, than chasing down innocent ichat folks.
divine_sparsh 2:42 PM still i want to talk more on these physical things related issues i am facing
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:43 PM Find a friend that will talk to you face to face. If you do not have such a friend, you need to talk to yourself and face your duality, come into peaceful oneness.
divine_sparsh 2:45 PM and cant you be of any help in this ? Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 2:46 PM I have helped you a lot. If you do not act on it, it is nothing.
divine_sparsh 2:46 PM ok i will 2:59 PM sat shri akal ! thanks for everything
Guruprem Kaur Khalsa 3:05 PM Sat Nam, You are welcome.
