Poem signifies the journey of the sadhak, the student striving on the path of their teacher. To the Hindi/Punjabi language speakers, the poem is to read in “Bir Ras” or the Warrior Spirit. This literary device was introduced in Sikh Philosophy by Guru Gobind Singh, the last Sikh Guru in human form. His way of teaching was not just of quiet contemplation, but of action oriented fervor. I humbly use the same to extol – Carpe Diem, seize the now!
