Do you want to know when I did my dose of heroin(drug)?
I will write outside the Gurudwara door.
That's what I did it.
I'll give you one example.
Bhai Amritpal Singh, (person who is prohibiting drugs),
a brother came there,
he sold 4 forts and land for 90 lakhs of rupees and did drugs,
he was the only boy of the family of 18 years.
The first day he came the whole body was black and dry
17 to 18 years of age.
He arrived at his interview.
So, I'll put it up probably on Youtube a little bit later.
He told me that the day before I came here,
I stole an AC (Air conditioning system) from my own house,
and I sold it and did my last dose of heroin(drug).
Do you want to know when I did my dose of heroin(drug)?
I'll write outside the Gurudwara door.
That's what I did it.
He came with his friends and he said,
'Bhai Sahib, my condition is bad, I am going to die, save me'.
He snorted Cocaine, he did meth, he did Ice (drug),
he did everything.
He said 'Save me'.
Bhai Sahib said ' If you want to be saved, then don't go anywhere from here,
even if your mother dies, you will not go home'
This is what Bhai Sahib said.
That's the only way I can help you.
Bhai Sahib said 'You will be served'.
Which service?
He said ' The month of Poh (November-December),
remember I was there in November when I started.
If you wake up in the morning,
heat water for as many Singhs as live here in Guru Ghar'.
In India, there was a Geasers, but they get cold after a while.
When you have 250 Singhs,
you can't just warm up water on the bucket or something.
There used to be a big cauldron where they used to heat water for all the Singhs.
And this Singh was given the responsibility,
that which is branches and twigs of wood,
you have to get those branches and twigs of wood,
you can cut them the night before or that day and bring them here.
You have to light a fire, put that large cauldron on top.
And 250 buckets of water have to be put in it
and the water has to be heated for each Singh.
You have wake up at 2.00am in the morning.
This is of someone who's addicted to heroin(drug).
He's 18 years old.
It's the cold months of November and December.
He's not in Sikhi saroop (form), fully Mona(Non-sikhi)
and he's given this responsibility.
For 2 months, every single day he woke up at 2.00a.m.
by 3.00a.m. the fire was on, the water was boiling till 8'o clock.
He used to heat water till 8 o'clock.
I saw this kid and I was like,
"I don't know a single person in the west including me who do that Seva."
We're so comfortable in our lives.
And then I reflected that does that guy has the Sikhi inside of him
or do I have Sikhi inside out of me.
And that's when I put up a post on Instagram one day saying
"Sikhi in the west is well wondering down
and people who are in Sikhi saroop don't have as much Sikhi as people in India
who might be addicted to drugs".
I put up post like that and I got a lot of hate for that
and because this is why I saw there and I was completely shocked.
Every single day I saw people doing Seva like this.
You can go to Darbar sahib that's an extreme example
you can go to Darbar Sahib (located in Amritsar)
The most difficult Service,
I have seen a Mona (cut hair sikh) people doing that Seva.
Covered in dirt, going into dirt which comes out there,
cleaning bathrooms, spending all night in Parikarma (walking round in Darbar Sahib)
Where there is water, sweet water.
There are steel bowls.
And there is places that is built there to clean these bowls with sand.
Go there at 11'o clock at night and see who is sitting there.
The boys of Panjab used to shave their beards.
A small turban is tied on their head.
This is called our Sikhi Principles.
Our Punjabi culture is so rich and deep.
Our language is so rich and deep.
But we've come to the west and this is awakening that we'd during this time.
I didn't know about this stuff before,
I thought Sikhi was so prosperous in the west
because we do Rehnsabai, we do kirtan, we do santhya.
with so many Paathis (readers).
But now I am realizing that someone to do santhya of Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj.
He must have understood letters but he did not connect with his mother tongue.
We laugh and play in Punjabi,
and as long as we do not fall in love with the land of Panjab.
Until we don't go to India and say
"Oh this is disgusting, I've to use this gross bathroom,
why is this cow pooping there, or why is this happening".
As long as we do not fall in love with the water there, the air there, the dung there
The glorious Sikhi history of what we learned,
the richness of Sikhi, we can't experience it.
Panjab has so many issues.
There's so many threats in a jungle.
When you're being attacked,
there's so much more resistance that you have to put up with.
