Jedi Nights
Hukam
12

The conspiracy-theory kid pulled us aside and whispered, "Nobody, I mean nobody, saw the ring really getting destroyed, did they?  I mean, yes, it sank but did anyone see it melt?  Huh?  I didn't think so.  In fact," he paused and said with an even lower whisper, "In fact, if you play the Lord of the Rings DVD backwards.."

The tube-light kid whispered excitedly,  "HEY!! DVD spelt backwards is DVD!!!"

The conspiracy-theory kid appeared quite intrigued by this discovery and continued, "hmmm, yes.  But if you play it backwards, you will see Yoda taking the ring!"

My, holier-than-thou-by-at-least-2-camping-trips, sis came and broke up our boy-huddle, "What's going on, dummies?" she asked cheerfully.  We all sulked away into another huddle.

The conspiracy kid looked sideways at my sister, then at me and continued. Dropping his voice even lower, he hissed, "Your sister's a sorceress!."   I had heard this kid say a lot of crazy stuff ("W Bush is really M-16 agent Mush", "The Moon is actually a giant Soviet Satellite dish", "We have 3 moons, but the US is hiding 2 of them") ,… but MY sister, a Witch? hummm....this time he might just be on to something.

I was just about to hear more truths about my sister when Aunty Jee strolled by and remarked, "It’s not the ring, it’s Naam!  See, when you get Naam, you merge with the True Creator - you can then, if you so choose, create and destroy objects."

I got really, really excited.  "You mean," I blurted out, "You can even make people disappear?"  (We all know by now who would be on the top of my long list).

"Well," Aunty jee smiled, "You can, but once you get Naam, you probably wouldn't want to.  You see, with Naam and only with Naam, we come to realize that everything (and everyone) is perfect.  Thus people with Naam always flow with nature and never do anything which seems to go against the natural flow of life."

"AHAAA!!!!!", one attentive reader of this story declared, "Caught you in  a big-enough hole in this so-called plot to drive a Hummer through.  If Naam makes you realize everything is perfect, then why would Yoda, a Naami, go against nature and disappear????"

"AHAAA!!!!!", I declared happily, "So there IS a attentive reader of this series!!!"

"It’s your PAID editor", the one attentive reader said.

"I don't care," I shouted happily, "Paid or not, at least one person does read this.  My life IS purposeful.  I AM somebody.  I WILL be remembered.  My name SHALL remain."

"Whatever...", the one attentive reader retorted, "...so what about the hole in the plot?"

"Well," I replied thoughtfully, "since its too late to go back to the previous part, and I doubt I will get a chance to release this as a special DVD with alternative endings, I say we simply *ignore* Yoda's disappearance.  So dear reader (reader(s) if I may indulge?), please ignore Yoda's disappearance and while you are it, ignore all of this story too uptil NOW!"

Yoda continued, "Speaking of playfulness - who wants to play hide and seek?.... Nobody? OK, we won't play hide and seek."

My sister poked me- "Ow" I grumbled, opening my eyes and realized that Yoda had not actually in fact disappeared but that um once again I had actually infact dozed off and had been elaborately day-dreaming about being a writer, when I should have been intent on being a reader because just then-

Yoda handed my sister a small book.  "This is Jap Ji Sahib by our beloved Guru Nanak," he told us, "Would you be so kind as to read the first pauree?"

My sister raised her voice rather importantly and read aloud.
(My Aunty Jee explained each tukk afterwards):

*****   *****   *****   *****   *****
sochai soch na hova-ee jay sochee lakh vaar.
(Even if we purify our body to the zenith level, our mind is not going to become pure.)
chupai chup na hova-ee jay laa-ay rahaa liv taar.
(Even if we take the vow of silence, our mind is not going to shut-the-heck-up.)
bhukhi-aa bhukh na utree jay bannaa puree-aa bhaar. (Staying hungry or getting overloaded on food will not,
I repeat, will not get rid of our mind's hunger.)
sahas si-aanpaa lakh hohi ta ik na chalai naal.
(Our intellectual capabilities, even if they do impress the dummy sitting next to us, are not of much use on the spiritual path.)

kiv sachi-aaraa ho-ee-ai kiv koorhai tutai paal.
(Then how can we get purified enough to merge with the True One?)
hukam rajaa-ee chalnaa naanak likhi-aa naal. ||1||
(Guru Nanak answers: by flowing with the True Will (hukam) that the True One has written within us. )
*****   *****   *****   *****   *****

Aunty Jee said, "Anybody want to take a crack at the essence of what the Guru is saying in the 1st pauree of Jap Ji Sahib?"

The conspiracy-theory kid raised his hand (I saw my sister's eyes rolling), "Well," the conspiracy-theory kid said, "It is quite clear Guru Nanak is talking about the knowledge held by some government officials about the UFOs amongst us!  I, for one, know for sure that…"

Aunty Jee waved her hand and  POOF!, the conspiracy-theory kid disappeared right there on the spot (I'll explain this away some other day-- You want to know now - You're sure - OK then but remember,You asked... This was just to make sure YOU are awake and paying attention and haven't gone and dozed off, cuz one of us dozing off each episode is enough- in fact it's getting to be 2 much ;-)  so of course he didn't REALLY disappear because he was never  REALLY here b-cuz this is a STORY..so let's get back to it! :))

Yoda looked at me and said looking at me somewhat pointedly, "You want to try?" 

(Staying awake huh? Paying attention??) My face went 'Red 225 Green 52 Blue 17', my fingers starting vibrating at 142.34 Hertz per second, my stomach started turning at 34 RPM and my voice croaked "me?" at the smallest font available. 

"Yes, you," nodded Yoda.  He moved closer to me and whispered, "Remember the WaheGuru WaheGuru you heard in your head.  Listen to that and you will know!"

I listened deeply.  Inside me I heard a sound which resembled a bunch of bees buzzing around. 
I listened more deeply.  It wasn't bees, it was a stringed instrument.
I listened even more deeply.  It wasn't a stringed instrument, it was an un-stringed instrument.
I listened much more deeply.  It wasn't an un-stringed instrument, but a symphony of  un-stringed instruments.
I listened DEEPLY.  The un-stringed instruments were singing praises of the True One! 

An unheard orchestra pulsating in the rhythm of ONE joyous heartbeat resounded within me.

I heard my voice say:  "Relax ….. and enjoy the ride!"  

To be continued….
