Honesty in Sikhism
« on: April 06, 2010, 10:26:07 PM »
Pyare jio, a nice post forwarded to me by a local Gursikh.....

Several years ago, a gyanee from out-of-town accepted a call to a Gurdwara in canada

Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, "You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it." Then he thought, "Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount?

Anyway, the bus company lets too much fare; they will never miss it.
Accept it as a gift from Vaheguru and keep quiet.

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, "Here, you gave me too much change."

The driver, with a smile, replied, "Aren't you the new Gyanee in town? I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I ' ll see you at gurdwara on Sunday."

When the Gyanee stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, "Oh Vaheguru, I almost sold your Son for a quarter." Our lives are the only Teachings some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Sikhs and will put us to the test! Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name of Guru ji on your shoulders when you call yourself "sikh."

>>> Watch your thoughts; they become words.

>>> Watch your words; they become actions.

>>> Watch your actions; they become habits.

>>> Watch your habits; they become character.

>>> Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

>>> vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ke fateh
