SORRY FOR THE POOR QUALITY. COPIED THIS FROM A SIKH FORUM. WILL TRY TO FIX THIS ARTICLE ASAP. CURRENTLY UNDER RE-CONSTRUCTION BY user:sunnybondsinghjalwehra

There was a Sikh who used to visit Anandpur Sahib every month and paid his respects to Guru Gobind Singh. One day Guru Gobind Singh called him near him.

Guru Gobind Singh : gurupyaareo, i never saw u do any sewa sikh : maharaj i have to go back and find majoori (job)...if i dont work my family cant survive...now i will go back, find a job...work...then get paid...then only will my family have food to eat Guru Gobind Singh : bhai, akal purakh WAHEGURU takes care of all, its not u who does everything, its HIM. i feel that u shud stay here for 6 months and do sewa. sikh : hain! ...sorry jee i cant...i have to go back...i cant stop for 6 ghariyaan (i dunno if one ghari is 1 hour or what, coz some say one ghari is 2.5 hrs, some say 1 ghari is 22 mins...but forget bout it for now ) and u are talking bout 6 months! Guru Gobind Singh : ok...stay for some lesser time...but i feel u shud stay and do sewa here. sikh : nai jee i cant...i m sorry Guru Gobind Singh : ok...fine...do one thing...on your way back, plzz give my message to pir budhu shah. sikh : hanji ok i will do that

Guru Gobind Singh wrote a letter to pir budhu shah : "Pir Budhu Shah jee, i am sending u this letter thru a Sikh of mine. Please keep him with u for six months at any cost. If he obeys willingly its good, otherwise keep him by

all means possible"

Guru Gobind Singh : here, give it to Pir Budhu Shah sikh : ok jee i will

The Sikh reached the house of pir budhu shah who was delighted to receive a letter from Guru Gobind Singh. he kissed the letter, touched it on his forehead, and was very hospitable to the Sikh coz he brought the letter from Gurujee.

sikh : ok jee i have to go pir budhu shah : wait bhai...let me read the letter u brought

pir budhu shah read the letter

pir budhu shah : chal bhai...the hukam has come for u...u will have to stay with me for 6 months...if u stay willingly then good, otherwise i m gonna keep u at any cost, its Gurujee's hukam...His hukam is my life. sikh : but i have to go jee...my family will die hungry.

The neighbor of this Sikh was a very wealthy man, who was also a devout Sikh. Guru Gobind Singh appeared to him in his dream and said "your neighbor's family are my children, they are my family...from today u have to take care of them"

The kids of the poor Sikh found a big vessel filled with gold coins. Their rich neighbor refurnished their house. Now they lived in total comforts...always had enuff and good food to eat, best clothes to wear...and lived happily.

After the 6 months were over, the sikh was desperate to go.

sikh : sir can i go now? :( pir budhu shah : yes plzz u may

He started towards his house. On the way he was thinking "my family must have died hungry". He reached to find a beautiful house. His wife came out of the house.

wife : tussi? tu

ssi aa gaye ho? sikh : wife : plzz go back where u came from...since the day u left, all our problems are over.

After a while he came to know all what had happened. He reached anandpur sahib with his entire family and reached Guru Gobind Singh's darbar.

(the name of this sikh was bhai sajja, which was not his real name...the kind of job he used to do was called sajji majoori, as he didnt have a permanent employer, and so his name became sajja)

Guru Gobind Singh : sajjeya? u are not gonna go find a job? how will your family survive? Sajja : i m sorry Guru Sahib. u were right...akal purakh WAHEGURU takes care of everyone and everything...plzz forgive my foolishness ^_^.
