Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji were two beloved Sikhs of Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. When Maharaj used to travel with his fauj Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji always used to run ahead to prepare for the arrival of Guru Sahib and the Khalsa. They would quickly build a throne and cover it with a canopy and prepare prahsad for the Singhs.

When Guru Sahib arrived at the place Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji had set up many of the Singhs commented that even the horses were tired and weary such was the length of the journey. Despite covering such a long distance Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji still managed to prepare everything for the arrival of the King of Kings. Maharaj was very happy with their seva and he gave them two horses for riding and many shahstars to wear around their body.

A few days later when Maharaj and the fauj reached Suhewa, the next stop the two brothers were already there with Guru Ji’s bed prepared. Some Sikhs who had gone ahead with Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji complained to Maharaj as soon as he arrived that instead of riding their horses the two brothers had covered all the distance by foot while holding the reins of their horses in their hands. They had also not adorned their bodies with shahstars but has instead carried these in a bundle on their heads.

Guru Sahib called his two beloved Singhs and asked them why they had done so.

With tears of love flowing from their eyes the two brothers said, “Dear Guru, Father of the Khalsa Panth, we are not worthy of your love and your countless blessings. To make sure we didn’t show you any disrespect we thought it better to preserve your gifts in the same condition that they were given to us in.”

Who can find the morals? (A shiny golden star awaits)
