Dear Father,

You made me realize that deep inside is where I will find to be Fearless.
You made me realize that I could get through whatever the world throws at me.

I am Fearless
Thanks to You
I can look evil in the eye
And say

Why did Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji make his Sikh drink the Amrit of a Khanda. Why not a kirpan? Why not of anything else? In Sanskrit, Khanda means DEATH (mauth). KHANDA. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji mixed this with water and gave it to his Sikh to drink. The Sikh has mixed Death in water and swallowed it altogether (Sikh mauth noo ghol kay pee gya). Anybody can come up to a Sikh and say, 'Hey, I will hurt you, I will get you,'' and the Sikh will say,

"...I've already drank death from a bowl...What can you do to me?!?!..."

- Bhai Balbir Singh Ji (Ragi), during a keertan darbar on the Shaheedi Divas of Jathedar Akali Nihang Baba Deep Singh Jee Amar Khalsa Shaheed, November, 1984 (Paraphrased & Translated from Punjabi)
