TekhYourMatha 12:39am 11•10•17

40 minutes go by

And you've thought of productive things to do

Sorted out a few things you were leaving for later

1.5 hours of procrastination

Working that machine

Keeping the mind occupied

Flooded with information

Convincing yourself it's worth it

It's called learning apparently

But no

It's that distraction you didn't need

That moment that changes everything

4 wasted hours of time

In the honour of distressing

But actually

In the guilt of ignorance...

The split second it takes

For the enemy to attack

But the Khalsa is ready to defend

So

If your reaction rate is so well trained

Why is it

That you sit here waiting

Letting the five enemies attack you

And calling it a peace treaty?

Who said

That it's when your body is calm

That you are at peace?

For my body is calm in ignorance

My body is calm in comfort

My body is calm under the douvet

My body is calm with my back to Guru Ji.

But peace?

I never raised the sword in that split second.

I never held a shield to my face.

I never even attempted to defend

This temple.

Waiting around, letting the anxiety pass, playing the Gurbani, Overlapping it with the Shabad. Well done...

You invited the five enimies, and you let them stay. Waiting...for them to leave the battle ground. Waiting for death to take this breathe.

But blessings of Panj Kakaar, five pillars of strength are within you AND on you.

So why is it

You allow yourself to forget who you are?

Get back up. Strip yourself from the pitty. Let Guru Ji hold your head high. And fight your battle. Fight your battle. Fight your battle. Fight your battle.

Note: place your sword down if you choose to place your pride and faith anywhere other than in Your Guru. Ardaas. Bharosah. Naam. Vandh Ke Shakh, Nishkaam Seva...
