Kaurs in crowns

One day, when my Guru calls me I will wear the crown too

One day, hey Mahraj :)

Maerae saahibaa koun jaanai gun thaerae

I had some negative feedback from one of my customers

Here is the shabd from Maharaj

I love you Waheguru - I really do

I am in love with your wonders, I smile when I think of my Guru - I can sit lost in your gurbani forever! Everyday you show me your beautiful smile

Like the wind you blow your grace of kirpa into my hair, you run your hand through my hair, you comfort my every thought.

I cannot describe you, I am in love with something more real then the words will ever be.

Let it be this is on my last words. The name of Maharaj - I am in love with my Guru - I am in love with you. I cannot for once tell you how much.

Your words, your comforts you being there, Guru Gobind Singh ji is still here, he is wherever you close your eyes and call upon him - he helps you always an forever - my one and only suppor my Maharaj

I love you
I love you
I love you
Waheguru..............................................................

Its not for everyone

Why do u do this to me?
We should not have taken such a step
Maybe we were not cut out for it
Its not for everyone

Physical side
Makes me sad
To know I cannot achieve
What other women can't

How can I devote myself
Maharaj you said it was the one
The one of Guru Gobind Singh

I am the problem
This was not for me

Living in the past

I miss the way it used to be
The way of family
Having my mum
My best friend

Used to get my head down
So quickly
Give me strength
Waheguru

Needing your support
