Our papa ji was everything for us, we felt safe and comfortable to talk to him about anything at any time.
when papa ji moved to Canada and then went to Vancouver to work, I wrote him a letter saying Papa ji why are you working, all your kids are well settled, you worked hard your whole life, you don’t need to work now, you rest now. He wrote back saying, Bete our Guru Nanak said (Dasa nova di kirt karo, nam japo, vandh shako) work hard, stay focused, say Guru’s name, share with others. If we work, we stay healthy and happy. It brings inner peace. However if you don’t like us working, it hurts your feelings then we will not work. It was a great life lesson. I wrote him back that we don’t want you to stop, if it keeps you happy and healthy then we are happy. It brings us great pride that you work so hard. You should do what makes you happy.
He never tried to impose his views on any of his children, he was very religious but he never forced us to go to temple or any place we did not want to, he gave us freedom to make our own decisions, choose our own path. He lived an exemplary life and watching him, learning from him we try to follow in his footsteps.
love you papa ji
Your daughter Rani
