Happy Baisakhi

Baisakhi is here In the tumult of excess that has come to mark our celebrations, let us all spare a moment to dwell on the shabad of Guru Gobind Singh: “Let wisdom be your guide…/ Eat sparingly and sleep sparingly, and have forgiveness and compassion and love within thee./ And live with good conduct and contentment, harbouring neither lust nor wrath, greed, obstinacy or undue attachment…/then you will see the quintessence of the soul and attain everlasting happiness”. A good enough recipe even for just one lifetime.
