REVIEW: The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life by Simran Jeet Singh

Summary (Provided by Goodreads)

An inspiring approach to a happier, more fulfilling life through Sikh teachings on love and service.

As a boy growing up in South Texas, Simran Jeet Singh and his brothers confronted racism daily: at school, in their neighborhood, playing sports, and later in college and beyond. Despite the prejudice and hate he faced, this self-described "turban-wearing, brown-skinned, beard-loving Sikh" refused to give in to negativity. Instead, Singh delved deep into the Sikh teachings that he grew up with and embraced the lessons to seek the good in every person and situation and to find positive ways to direct his energy. These Sikh tenets of love and service to others have empowered him to forge a life of connection and a commitment to justice that have made him a national figure in the areas of equity, inclusion, and social justice.

The Light We Give lays out how we can learn to integrate ethical living to achieve personal happiness and a happier life. It speaks to those who are inspired to take on positive change but don't know where to begin. To those who crave the chance to be empathetic but are afraid of looking vulnerable. To those who seek the courage to confront hatred with love and compassion. Singh reaches beyond his comfort zone to practice this deeper form of living and explores how everyone can learn the insights and skills that have kept him engaged and led him to commit to activism without becoming consumed by anger, self-pity, or burnout.

Part memoir, part spiritual journey, The Light We Give is a transformative book of hope that shows how each of us can turn away from fear and uncertainty and move toward renewal and positive change.

MY REVIEW: 4/5 Stars

Before reading this book, I didn't know anything about the Sikh religion except for the fact that Sikh men wore turbans. As someone who loves reading about world religions, it is appalling how little I knew about this beautiful faith.

Singh offers Americans an introduction to what it is like to be Sikh in America. He discusses events in his life and shows us how he views these events through the lens of Sikhi, as well as how viewing events this way has helped him grow. It is my humble opinion that the lessons Sikhi teaches are, at the core, essentially the same as all other religions. However, sometimes it takes a special way of wording something or a specific historical context for us to learn these lessons. For me, the way Christianity has presented these lessons has often fallen short. Yet the way the lessons are presented to me from the Sikh perspective are easier for me to grasp.

As Singh discusses the racism he has faced throughout his life (especially in airports, but not limited to airports) he talks about how he has come to return racism with compassion and empathy.

My favorite thing he talked about was the concept of Vahiguru (I hope I'm spelling it right) which is a word that represents the shared divinity of all living things. For the Sikh, it does not matter which religion you follow, it does not matter if you are racist or anti-racist, it does not matter if you are kind or unkind. All of us, every human being contains the divine. No one has more of it, and no one has less. I love this concept, because thinking about it has allowed me to see the divine in my every day life. When I've started to get annoyed at people, I think of Vahiguru, the divinity (the light) we share.

Bollywood-Inspired Birthday Wishes for Your Wife: Express Love like a Star

In the spirit of Bollywood, where romance reigns and heartfelt dialogues tug at our heartstrings, expressing love for your wife on her birthday can be a filmy affair, filled with the charm and warmth of India's favorite film industry. Let's craft some simple yet sweet birthday wishes for your wife that echo Bollywood's grandeur without being too over the top.

Start with a Touch of Drama

In true Bollywood style, begin your birthday wish with a touch of drama that could light up her eyes the way she lights up the screen in your life. "In the movie of my life, you are my leading lady, and today is the grand premiere of another beautiful year. Happy Birthday, my star!"

Add A Romantic Song Lyric

No Bollywood movie is complete without a romantic song. Think of lyrics from songs she loves and tweak them to suit your message. "Just like in 'Tum Hi Ho', you truly are my life, my happiness. Wishing you a melodious birthday, my love."

Celebrate Her Qualities

Embrace the exaggerated praises often found in Bollywood scripts and spotlight her best qualities. "To my heroine who has the strength of 'Jhansi Ki Rani' and the grace of 'Chandni', may your birthday glow with love and excitement."

Cue the Bollywood Romance

Emulate those epic romantic scenes where the hero expresses his undying love. "Every day with you feels like I have won the 'Best Life Partner' award.

On your special day, I promise to love you more with each breath, just as Shah Rukh Khan says, 'Hum Ek Baar Jeete Hain, Ek Baar Marte Hain, Shaadi Bhi Ek Baar Hoti Hai… Aur Pyar… Ek Hi Baar Hota Hai!'"

Use Iconic Dialogues with a Twist

Take popular Bollywood movie dialogues and give them a birthday spin. "In the words of Raj from 'DDLJ', 'Mujhe aisa lagta hai ki tum sirf meri ho… Kyunki har saal tum sirf meri birthday girl banti ho.' Happy Birthday to my one and only!"

Keep it Sweet and Simple

Finally, remember the simple, touching scenes that often have the most impact. "No fancy words, just a simple beat of my heart that says 'I love you' on your special day and always. Happy Birthday, my beautiful wife."

Sample Bollywood Birthday Wishes

Here are a few Bollywood-inspired birthday wishes you can personalize for your wife:

"Happy Birthday to the woman who fills my life with love and laughter as Kareena Kapoor said in 'Jab We Met', You are my 'Geet' who turned my world around."

"Like every Bollywood happily-ever-after, I wish you a birthday full of joy and a life filled with bliss. You are my 'Simran,' and our love story is just beginning."

"On your birthday, I wish to promise you, like 'Veer-Zaara', ours is a love that will stand the test of time. Happy Birthday, Meri Zindagi."

Crazy Quilt Religion Alterations, Part 2

I recently read the book, 'The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life' by Simran Jeet Singh, and it helped me a lot. I felt like I had quite a few realizations while I was reading it and my spiritual views were being influenced in a positive, deep way. Maybe in a way that was hard to fully put into words. I remember that one or two passages in the book seemed to be things I really wanted to remember and to add to my crazy quilt religion, but I got a little busy and distracted and kind of forgot exactly what they were. I had thought I would remember and it would somehow be easy to recognize and find, but now I'm not sure.

But I think I might know what it is, and looking back at it, it feels a little bit weird to me, now, how it felt so powerful then. I still do think it is powerful, but it doesn't feel as convincing or moving to me now, if it was the same thing I think it was. I think that maybe reading that whole book made it all feel more powerful, and reading it at the same time as I was reading other books and contemplating different things, somehow it all came together for me and I saw it differently.

Or maybe I really just forgot which points were the most powerful for me, and just can't recognize them anymore. It might have been more than just this, or other things. I skimmed back through the book, trying to recall, and this is the point that felt most familiar, like it was probably the one I wanted to remember, so I will write it down.

It is an exercise in which you list twenty or so qualities you wish to embody. And then choose five that feel central to who you are and want to be. Then come up with one action to take to practice each of those five qualities, every day. And ask yourself what you'll do to hold yourself accountable to those commitments.

So that is it, and I think that part of why it felt so powerful to me was because I was seeing it from the point of view of practicing these things every day, finally turning intentions to actions. Seeing that everyone tends to focus on values but not so much on acting on the values, and it's hard to see who is really living their values, in a balanced and heartfelt way, sometimes. So even the religious people who judge and advise others might often not be living so in line with the values they promote. But if I can live in line with my own values, I can see how powerful and rare it really is to live them consistently and not just talk about or hold the values.

I can live according to my own chosen values that work in my life, in action and not just theory. What works for me and not what other people say should or will work, but repeatedly, miserably fails for me and creates a ripple effect, bringing down my whole life in various ways, and affecting all who depend on me too.

It's so powerful, because I am realizing and accepting that practicing my chosen core values will actually, finally be good enough, for me, and for God. I will not keep feeling I'm not good enough, a failure, or think of myself as too weak or inadequate, anymore. Accepting I may have character strengths in some areas and not others and I don't have to try to be strong and virtuous in every way, or in all of the ways others say I must be.

Another thing in the book is where it talks about having a personal mission statement and core values. He writes, "When push comes to shove and there's no easy answer for how to respond, what would you use as a guide so that you feel proud of your actions rather than ashamed?" The answer is not one-size-fits-all, he says, but different depending on who you are and what your life is like over time as well. This goes along with the idea of God forgiving me for being so imperfect, day in, day out, over the long course of my lifetime, maybe always being fraught with weaknesses, but still feeling forgiven if I still feel I am really trying my best.

And this book also mentions Guru Ajahn, who said, "I don't care about salvation, and I don't even care about power. All I really want is to be in love with the Divine." And it talks about how love is the goal in Sikh teachings. He writes, "In Sikh teachings, the goal of life is the same as is practice: We achieve love by trying to live with love, day in and day out."

So it's not about achieving heaven or worldly results, nor perfection or comparison with others. It's about loving, and practicing that, however you can as an individual. And I want to define what love means for me, what my values are, the specific actions I'd take towards my values, and then accept that is enough for me, enough too for my crazy-quilt religion and my crazy-quilt God.

I think part of love for me is self-love, because I feel so weak and unable to live up to some of the ideals that many selfless people try to demand as the standard for what they think we should all aim for. But for me, part of self-love is creativity and playfulness, for example. Another thing is rest and intuition. Those things aren't really counted as being very selfless but I think they have a place in the whole and that some people need to focus more on those things in their lives. They might be part of their core values.

These things can be gifts to others, too, especially to some who need more of those things, those who crave creativity and need intuitive things because they too see the world that way and need the answers and experiences that such things offer. When I dive deep, find answers I hope to share one day, and do self improvement that I hope will make me a better person, then it all ripples out, even if my focus often seems so small and self-contained in so many instances, but I feel I absolutely need that in my life, because of my mental and physical illnesses and weird personality. I think God sees, and accepts this as one of my gifts of loving and giving in life. I also give to my daughter and pets, so it's not all so inwardly focused.

So anyway, I will give all this some more thought and see what else I can come up with and how to apply it in my life. I feel like it's powerful. I even had a dream of a turbaned man, before I even read the book (I had just checked it out from the library). He just smiled at me in this short little dream segment, and when I saw the picture of the author of the book, who I'd never seen before, his face looked like the man in my dream too. I was quite surprised by that dream, because I didn't even know at all what to expect from this book. But I'd been praying so much for spiritual guidance, and then I had that dream and then the book did seem to help me so much.

‘American Sikh’ Hits Big Screen: An Interview with Show’s Creators

"The film tells the true story of Singh, 52, who, besides inventing Sikhtoons.com in the face of anti-Sikh bigotry after 9/11, is a performance artist and diversity speaker.

After a lifetime of facing prejudice, self-doubt and violence, his animated self, as in life, finally finds acceptance in a superhero costume."

Letting go of hate by questioning the very idea of evil https://www.npr.org/2023/05/21/1176864308/religion-hate-evil-spirituality-simran-jeet-singh-sikh

This is a truly amazing discussion. I've recently decided I need to take myself out of a system where I decide who it is okay to hurt, recognizing that others still operate within that system, and that it is not a popular viewpoint. (My dad's question was "Well, then would you not have executed Eichmann?" Which is, just. Well, it's an illustrative example of how entrenched we are in a system of who it is okay to harm.)

This gives me a lot more to study and think on.
