Inspired by the Youth

Now to talk a little bit about the youth and how they inspire me.
Those of you who know me, know that I love hanging out with youth. Besides my few friends I have all I do is hang out with the younger generations. I'm talking from 2 years old up. The younger the kids are the more I find less they have been influenced by societies ills. I live my life with one principle and that is "you can only get closer to guruji and akaal (god) through pyaar." Without love you have nothing. You can have the most strict rehit (lifestyle) in the world but without pyaar it’s fruitless. You can have the most gian (knowledge) in the world but without pyaar its nothing. "Sach Kahu Sun Lay Sabhi Hi Jin Prem Kiyo Tin He Prabh Payo" (I speak the truth so everyone listen, only through love can one find god) Guru Gobind Singh Ji. I have made this my philosophy. And I find the most purest love you can find is with young children.
You can teach and mold youth into anything you want. Whether that is to hate others or to love others. So all you people who live your life through love I ask you guys to spend as much time as you can with children and spread that message.




While at the Jormela I met this young singh who just blew me away. When I first looked at him I felt an instant connection. After his first fight I went looking for him and I congratulated him on a good performance. I than hugged him. But I couldn't get him out of my mind. So I decided to hang out with him and see what his response was with hanging out with me. Well we hung out for a while and instantly he felt the same connection with me. We were inseparable after that. I was sad when I left early the first day of the tourney because I wanted to hang out with him more. The next day he gave me the biggest hug and sat in my lap for a long time. And I just felt these pure vibrations coming from him. After a while we walked around and he would tell me things and he talks not like an eight year old but like a very wise person. He has an orah to him where you know he is an old soul. I call him Jathedar gee, because he reminds me of a jathedar of a puratan fauj. I will give you an example of his character.

While he was fighting on the second day he went for a hit but the other person blocked it. The ref gave Varinderpal Singh two points but varinderpal turned to the ref and said no I didn't hit him. He was the only one in the tournament to do that. Even I looked deep into myself after he said that. I knew the reffing wasn't up to par and there was favoritism but that was no excuse to lose my cool. I was inspired to keep it calm after that. There are so many examples I can give you of this Singh that have truly inspired me.

We need to look at the youth as open vessels who are ready to learn whatever we teach them. Whether that be love or whether that be hate. We can learn so much more from youth if we pay attention to them. Young Singhs like Varinderpal Singh are hard to find in this world. We need to cherish them and show them the way of love. So I would like to give a special shout out to all the youth out there trying to walk the path. Keep your head up and practice sikhi through love.
