1. Guru Ji Among His Sikhs
Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the tenth Sikh Guru, was known not just for his bravery but also for his humility. One day, during a camp with his Khalsa, Guru Ji saw the langar area untidy after the Sangat had eaten.
2. Quietly Doing Seva
Without telling anyone, Guru Ji picked up a broom and began cleaning the area himself. Some Sikhs were shocked to see their great Guru doing such a task. They rushed to stop him.
3. A Lesson in Humility
Guru Ji smiled and said, “No one becomes smaller by doing seva. In fact, seva makes one spiritually higher.” He explained that true leadership comes from selfless service, not pride.
4. Inspiration for All
Seeing Guru Ji’s example, the Sikhs felt deeply moved. Everyone joined in with love and devotion. From that day on, seva was understood not just as a duty, but as a sacred blessing.
💡 The Message
- 🔶 No act of seva is too small or beneath anyone.
- 🟠 True greatness lies in humility.
- 🟡 A Guru leads not just by words, but by actions.
📚 Moral of the Story:
“Seva isn’t a task, it’s a way to connect with Waheguru through humility and love.”
