“You are pervading in all the four directions, the Enjoyer in all the four directions. You are self-illumined, profoundly beautiful, and united with all.

—Jaap Sahib of Guru Gobind Singh Ji

“One day, this self, and all dear to it,
will be blown around in dust and dirt.
While you still have a chance, offer all you have here,
at this purifying flame, and be cleansed.
Garments torn, heart on fire,
let your whole being burn away in this love.” —Abu Sa`id ibn Abi al-Khayr (via thelittlephilosopher)

Please pray for the brothers and sisters affected by the atrocity at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin. I am ashamed this happened in the place I called home for most of my life.
O Nanak, I am exhausted; I seek the shelter of Your Sanctuary; O God, please bless me with the gift of fearlessness.
- Guru Tegh Bahaadur Ji
