The Guru is The boat - by Nirmal Singh
The other day when we had our "Secretariat meetings" (described in the previous blog post) was hosted by some of the Sikh youth here. Nirmal Singh (one of the youth here) was assigned the task of giving an introduction about each of the Gurus. As he started doing his research, he kept coming across the metaphor of "The Gurus being a boat to ferry us across this world ocean". It occurred to him that each Guru has unique qualities and as a result was probably a different kind of "boat". This is story of the different qualities of each Guru and which type of "boat" he relates each Guru as.
It is a fun, yet educational story. When I was listening I was anxious to hear which boat he related to each Guru.
