1. The Humble Servant
Long ago, there was a Sikh who worked as a storekeeper in a king's court. He was honest, simple, and deeply devoted to Waheguru. Everything he did, he did in remembrance of the Divine.
2. “Tera Hi Tera”
Whenever he measured and handed out goods, he would say, “Tera, Tera” (meaning “Yours, Yours”). It was his way of reminding himself that nothing belonged to him — all was Waheguru’s.
3. The Royal Audit
One day, royal officials were ordered to audit the stores. Everyone feared there might be some mismanagement. But to their surprise, the store was in perfect order — nothing was missing, and everything was properly accounted for.
4. The King’s Curiosity
The king was intrigued. He summoned the storekeeper and asked, “How do you manage so well?” The humble Sikh replied, “Maharaj, I simply say ‘Tera, Tera’. It’s all His. I am only a caretaker.”
5. A Life of Surrender
The king was touched by this level of devotion. From that day forward, he began to treat the Sikh with great respect, learning that true service comes from selflessness and surrender.
💡 The Message

📚 Moral of the Story:
