Bhai Joga Singh Ji
« on: June 24, 2010, 10:17:15 AM »
Bhai Joga Singh a Sikh youth from Peshawar, who had lived in the presence of Guru Gobind Singh Ji at Anandpur Sahib for many years and served him with devotion. When Bhai Joga Singh first went into the service of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Guru Ji first asked him who are you. He replied,” O true king, my name is Joga Singh.” The Guru asked,” Whose Joga you are?” (Joga means for whose service he is fit or simply who is he worth?) “I am Guru Joga (I am in the service of the Guru),” replied Bhai Joga Singh. Upon this the Guru promised,” If you are Guru Joga, then Guru is tere Joga ( then the Guru is for you).”After sometime, Bhai Joga Singh Ji went to his home in Peshawar for his marriage. When the marriage ceremony was half-way through, a man arrived with an urgent message from the Guru to him to proceed to Anandpur without delay. Bhai Joga Singh Ji read the command and instantly left for Anandpur without completing the marriage ceremony. He obeyed Guru’s order over everything else. Indeed the path of the devotees is sharper than the edge of a razor blade, and it is even narrower than the hair-breadth on which they have to tread.

Bhai Joga Singh continued his journey to Anandpur as fast as he could. After passing through Lahore and Amritsar, he reached a resting spot at Hoshiarpur. On his way his ego got inflated and he thought,” Who could have acted like me? Certainly very few Sikhs would carry out the Guru’s order like me.” This sense of pride brought his fall. At night he was overwhelmed by evil-passion and he started towards the house of a prostitute. Bhai Joga Singh was wearing Guru’s uniform- a turban and beard. On his way to the prostitute, Bhai Joga Singh talked to himself,” If some one sees me going into the house of a prostitute, it will bring disgrace to the Guru. Outwardly I am in Guru’s attire. So nobody should see me entering the prostitute’s house.”

As soon as he reached near the house of the prostitute, a watchman appeared saying aloud,” Be aware fellows!” Bhai Joga Singh could not enter the house and he walked on to the next street. Looking around and thinking that the watchman might have left, he hurried towards the house of the prostitute again. To his amazement the watchman reappeared shouting,” Be aware fellows!” Bhai Joga Singh could not afford to be seen by anybody going into the house of the prostitute, knowing in his heart that it would bring slur to Guru’s name since he was in Guru’s uniform. Finally he quit his evil act after trying a few times without success.

Next morning he started his journey and reached Anandpur. Bhai Joga Singh presented himself before Guru Gobind Singh. On entering the divaan he payed his respects to Guru Sahib and Guru Jee looked at Bhai Joga Singh. Guru jee asked Bhai Joga Singh to explain where he was last night. In shame Bhai Joga Singh did not answer. However, the all-knowing Guru knew of Bhai Joga Singh's temptations. Guru Sahib again asked, "Bhai Joga Singh! I have asked you a question, you are struggling to answer. As the incident unfolded Guru jee revealed that HE HIMSELF was the GUARD, and that He were there to stop Bhai Joga Singh from entering and sinning. Bhai Joga Singh fell at Guru jee’s charan (feet) and begged for forgiveness. The divine Master then reminded him of what he had first said to Bhai Sahib Ji, “Do you remember when you said that you were Guru Joga, and the Guru had promised, if you were Guru Joga, then Guru tere Joga.”

Guru Ji tests us through various ways and tries to stop us from sinning too...but how many of us obey Guru ji's hukam and pass the test and how many of us give in? Guru ji never leaves us..he's always there to protect us...it's us who don't recognize him and choose to leave Him.......

When that Lord becomes merciful, and one comes to chant the Lord's Name, one swims across the ocean of fear. ||1||
