Y2K:" To all the beautiful Sikh women"
"Why are you crying?" a young naujawan
asked his mom.
"Because I'm a woman"
she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.
His mom just hugged him
And said,
"And you never will"..........
Later the little boy asked his daddy,
"Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason" was all his dad
could say........
The little boy grew up
and became a man, still
wondering why
women cry.
Finally he put in a call to WAHEGURU JI;
when He got on the phone, the
man asked
"O WAHEGURU JI, why do women cry so easily?"
.................. WAHEGURU said...........................
"When I made women she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough
to carry the weight of the world;
yet, gentle enough to give comfort....
I gave her an inner strength to endure
childbirth and the
rejection that many times comes
from her children......
I gave her a hardness that allows her
to keep going when everyone gives up
and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue
without complaining......
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children
under any and
all circumstances,
even when her child has hurt them very badly.......
This same sensitivity
helps her make a child's boo-boo
feel better and shares in
their teenagers anxieties and fears.......
I gave her strength to carry
her husband through
his faults and fashioned her
to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband
never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests
her strengths and her resolve
to stand beside him unfalteringly.
I also gave her a tear to shed, It's hers exclusively to use
whenever..................................... it is needed.
It's not her weakness, it is her strength....
It's a tear for mankind........."
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes
she wears, the figure that
she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because
that is the doorway
to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not
in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman is reflected
in her soul.
It is the caring that
she lovingly gives, the passion that
she shows and the beauty of a woman,
with passing years,only grows!
Womanhood is the strength of the
Panth.
She bears
our future generations.
She nurtures them because
she spends
more time
with the young.
She can help
Sikhi to flourish or
she can bring about
its demise.
Sikhi is the future for
mankind and 'she' is
its most important
tool for the future."
' Nanak
said so
over 500 years
ago.'
Let us now practice giving
women their rightful place in Sikhi.
Power to Sikh Womanhood
into the next millennium.
