One white hair cost him to see the Gurus back!

There was a beautiful Singh in the times of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and gurujee used to love him alot. He was big, strong and handsome and decked in weapons, and gurujee really loved the fact that his Khalsa Fauji was tyar per tyar. One day he was at home tying his dastaar and looking at himself in the mirror and all of the sudden he spotted a white hair on his beard, he started to get worried and he thought he must get rid of it, so he thought one hair wouldn’t matter… so he plucked it… he got ready and went to see gurujee, as gurujee was busy he ran up to gurujee and said fateh…

Gurujee looked at his face and turned his back in the other direction. He thought gurujee must not have seen me so he walked around the other side, and again gurujee turned his back to the Singh. The Singh felt so distraught that he started to cry and begged gurujee to speak to him… when gurujee finally spoke to him; he asked why gurujee was turning his back to him. And gurujee replied that God blessed you with such a gift of heera “jewel” , of a white hair and you chose to throw it away… why did you not thank God for what he had given you instead you chose to throw it away and with it you threw away your Amrit… your promise to take care of your hair to death, and you have broken it and I cannot speak to you until you go before the panj pyare and again renew your promise and ask for forgiveness…

At this the Singh got up straight away and went to see the panj pyare, he asked for forgiveness, and the panj pyare punished him with a few tasks of seva and blessed him Amrit again.

He completed his seva and ran back to see gurujee… and gurujee took him in his arms and hugged him.

After this event he became stronger and as he went to the battles thereafter he fought to the death, and he was determined to die with his every hair intact.


On each and every hair, the Lord abides. Ang 344 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
