If Guru Gobind Singh Jee Came to My Room !!

[Harjinder]

If Guru Gobind Singh Ji came to my Room...

Harjinder S Kukreja

If Guru came to my room to spend a day or two

If He came unexpectedly, I wonder what will I do?

I know, I'll give my nicest spot to such an honored guest,

All the food I'd serve Him would be the very best.

I'd keep assuring Him I'm glad to have Him there

That serving Him in my room is joy beyond compare.

When I see Him coming, would I meet him at the door?

With arms out stretched and welcome from the core.

Would I have to change my clothes before I let Him in?

Or hide some magazines and put the Gutka where it should have been?

Would I then switch off the radio and hope he hadn't heard?

And wish, hadn't uttered the last loud hasty word?

Would I hide my worldly music and put some Amrit Kirtan out?

Could I let Guru walk right in, or would I rush about?

I wonder - if Guru spent a day or two with me,

Would I go right on doing the things I always do?

And saying the things I always say?

Would life for me continue as it does from day to day?

Would my daily conversation keep its usual pace?

Would I find it hard, each meal to say a table grace?

Would I sing the songs I always sing, and read the books I always read?

And let Him know the things on which my mind and spirit feed?

Would I take Guru with me everywhere I plan to go?

Or would I maybe change my plans for just a day or so?

Would I be glad to have Him meet my very closest friends?

Or Would I hope they'd stay away until His visit ends?

Would I sigh with great relief when He at last was gone?

Or Would I be glad to have Him stay forever on and on?
