Waheguruji Ka Khalsa, Waheguruji Ki Fateh!

Yesterday, I was at Penn Station waiting for my train and I decided to sit in
the waiting room since their was still half an hour till my train arrived.
When I got to the waiting room it was packed and I walked around looking to find
an empty seat. Then I saw and old man, a sardar, who waved to me. He then got
up and motioned for me to take his seat. I smiled...so touched and happy that
a stranger would offer me his seat. I shook my head and told him to sit and
left.

After a while I realized how happy I was that someone had done something so
considerate for me, I wanted to go back and thank him. When I got back he
wasn't there anymore. Then I saw a little boy with a joora fishing for change in
his pocket. I went over and offered to buy him the icecream he wanted. A minute
later the old man came back and told me that the little boy was his grandson.
He told me that he had recognized that I was a Sikh because of my Kara and
that he wanted his "beti" (me) to sit down instead of him. I thanked him.

One kind act caused a series of reactions in which two strangers came
together to realize one meaning of Khalsa. It was my Kara that created the bond
between this stranger and I. It was a kind act carried out in the name of the
Kara
that created a bond between us. One Kind act - sewa - can touch people so
deeply!!! Sewa is not only service but it is kindness from the heart....

Gur Rakha,
