Jedi Nights
Sikhreht Code
13

I saw a kid with a huge backpack pacing up and down the sidewalk muttering under his breath. This got me curious, so I went over and asked him what the deal was. He told me that he has had enough!  “I am running away from home!!” he informed me.

 

“So,” I asked, “Then what are you doing pacing up and down the street?” 

 

“Oh,” he grumbled, “My mother told me not to cross the street without her being around!”


 Yodha Singh came up behind me and took me by the elbow, I jumped, and he winked.  “You can't escape hukam,” he quipped, leading me back to the others, “You can't ever escape hukam… and speaking of hukam, how about you read the 2nd puaree of Jap Ji Sahib?” 

 

Without much ado, I read out (with Aunty Jee explaining each line):


 hukamee hovan aakaar hukam n kehiaa jaaee ||
The True One's True Will -(hukam)- creates the Universes (and cool stuff like that). Hukam is too infinite to be told in a hopelessly finite human language.
hukamee hovan jeea hukam milai vaddiaaee ||
Hukam creates the birds and the bees and it is hukam, (not Donald Trump), which bestowes greatness upon you.
hukamee outham neech hukam likh dhukh sukh paaeeahi ||
It is hukam, once again, which is responsible for our highness and lowness; and for our pain or pleasure.
eikanaa hukamee bakhasees eik hukamee sadhaa bhavaaeeahi ||
Due to hukam, some are forgiven while others are not; and some wander aimlessly (Author's note: My sister certainly fits in the aimless lot because I have seen her wander aimlessly in and out of malls for hours).

hukamai a(n)dhar sabh ko baahar hukam n koe ||
Everyone, yes even the mighty you, is under the power of hukam.
naanak hukamai jae bujhai th houmai kehai n koe ||2||
Nanak says the ones who understand hukam, don't go around boasting, “I am this” and “I am that”. (Author's note: I never boast about myself, therefore I must understand hukam. Yeah!  In addition to being ruggedly handsome, I am enlightened too. Time to open up my own dera. Let's see what name I should choose for the dera… How about "Enlightenment without the bothersome and hard work of actually turning on the  light”  nah.. too long, how about "Enlightenment for $9.99" …..)

 

 “Ow!," it’s my sister (once  again) destroying my plans to save the world.

 

Anyway, remember when I said I would explain ‘some other day’ what happened when my Auntie waved her hand and the conspiracy kid went Poof! Well ‘some other day' is Later and Later is 'Now’ (another power that comes with naam is the ability to manipulate time ;) So NOW that I’ve got your attention here is the REAL story.

No, I Did NOT go to sleep!  When my Aunty jee waved her hand at the kid she must have given him some pre-arranged signal because he leapt behind the nearest bush and proceeded to sneak from bush to tree to bush like Tom Crooze on a ‘Mission Impossible' around the park.


 LATER, (which brings us up to the present part of our story,) He came back wearing an overcoat which came below his knees, a pair of really cool looking shades, and carrying a case which he handed over to my Aunty after glancing back over his shoulder then looking from side to side.


(What? You want to know where he got the overcoat?  Probably it was hanging next to the shoe rack at the gurudwara, because he also had on a different pair of chupples than he left with). Any how he motioned to me and the DVD kid to meet him behind the bush. So we kinda sidled over to the bush and slunk behind it.

 

The conspiracy kid pulled out something from under the overcoat and whispered “I got a copy of the sikhreht code.”  The DVD kid reached for it, but the secret agent kid stuck it under his coat again. “This isn’t just any sikhret code” he announced, “You got to be specially trained in order to read it and you gotta wash your hands before you can touch it so you don't leave finger prints." The dark glasses slid down his nose and he peered over them, eyes shifting.


 Just then my specially trained sikhreht agent sister showed up and demanded, “One is missing - hand it over kid." Reluctantly the kid pulled it out from under the overcoat and handed to my sister.


 “I think your sister has been initiated, dude” he informed me after she left, “She’s gotta be one of them.”

 

“Huh? One of who? Intitated into what?” Then it dawned on me... she really was a witch…
 
“The sikhreht society, dude.” the kid replied… “She can read the sikhret code!” .....

 

I decided I needed to find out about this sikhreht code and the sikhreht society.  So I joined my sister as she was strolling away.  “Hey Sis”, I started. 

 

She stared at me, “What do you want?” she asked suspiciously.

 

“He he, I was just wondering what the sikhreht code and society is ?” I asked.

 

(Please delete/destroy/eat this paragraph immediately after you have you read it:  I actually really love my sister – I’m extremely proud of her and can’t imagine the world without her.  She really is my best friend.)

 

She looked at me kindly, “That was nice,” she said softly.

 

“What was nice? I didn’t write anything,” I replied innocently - if ever my buddies found about that paragraph, I would be cooked Gobi.

 

She was about to say something when the most horrible girl that I knew in this and the next 13 Solar Systems showed up.  It was the Ridhi-Sidhi girl <psycho music>.

 

Rumor was that this girl had attended HoggWartz School of Wizardry, learnt a few incantations and dropped out.  Apparently she had missed or slept through the “Wizards Ethics” class.  She always carried a rather used looking wand in one hand.  In her pocket, she always had a toad (it was widely known that the toad was actually her younger brother, who had met his slimy fate one day when he didn’t give her the remote control – she apparently had also skipped the “Incantations Reversals” class because she never reverted him back into the young nerd that we all knew and barely tolerated).   

 

The Ridhi-Sidhi girl <psycho music> lifted her wand and spoke in a very low tone, “Hand over the sikhreht code book NOW!!!”

 

My sister rolled her eyes and replied in even a lower tone, “Or else?  What?  What are you going to do?  Turn us into Fish?”

 

I turned to my sister and said in a rather high squeaky voice, “ARE YOU CRAZY?  Give her the book and let’s run while we still have legs!!”

 

“You’ll be sorry you Slimy Toads” the Ridhi-Sidhi girl <psycho music> smirked waving her wand. Then all of a sudden she pointed it straight at us and shouted out, “CHANGEOULS” (or something latinoish like that). 

 

I felt a jolt of dark light hit me and I croaked, “Ribbit, Ribbit.”

 

I saw a jolt of dark light go towards my sister but before it could hit her, with the speed usually reserved for athletic boys like me, she had her Khanda of Naam out and hit the coming jolt of dark light.  The jolt of dark light bounced right back to the Ridhi-Sidhi girl <psycho music> and she disappeared beneath the grass.   After a few moments, I saw a Ridhi-Sidhi frog <psycho froggy music> carrying a slimy wand in her slimy mouth and a slimy toad <psycho slimy toady  music> beside her hopping away.

 

She turned briefly and croaked, “Ribbit’Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit‘Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit’Ribbit Ribbit!!!”  For the non-amphibians amongst us, this meant, “I’m gonna get you back and you’ll be sorry you’re born!!!”

 

My sister turned the Khanda of Naam down towards me and shouted, “WaheGuru!” 5 times.

 

Before I could Ribbit anything or swallow any of the rather tasting looking flies buzzing around, I was turned back into the ruggedly handsome boy with muscular chest that you all know by now.

 

“Brother!” my sister said between heavy breaths, “I am not going to be around all the time!  I didn’t want to tell you about the sikhreht but I don’t think I have a choice now – the world’s too dangerous for you!”

 

Here is another paragraph you need to destroy after reading:  I was shivering with fright, she held me close and said in a soothing voice, “Now, now, it’s ok.  The sikhreht saved me and will save you too, my dear, dear brother."

 

She gently continued, “You see, the sikhreht code teaches us how to start flowing with the hukam of the True One.  Once we know hukam, we have nothing to fear and nothing can harm us.” Then she started softly singing by this shabad by Guru Arjan Dev Jee:

 

(Tod-ee, Fifth Mehl)

 

ni(n)dhak gur kirapaa thae haattiou||

The slanderer, by Guru's Grace, has been turned away.

paarabreham prabh bheae dhaeiaalaa siv kai baan sir kaattiou||1||rehaao||

The Supreme Lord God has become merciful; with Shiva's arrow, He shot their head off. ||1||Pause||

kaal jaal jam johi n saakai sach kaa pa(n)thhaa thhaattiou||

Death, and the noose of death, cannot see me; I have adopted the Path of Truth.

khaath kharachath kishh nikhuttath naahee raam rathan dhhan khaattiou||1||

I have earned the wealth, the jewel of the Lord's Name; eating and spending, it is never used up. ||1||

bhasamaa bhooth hoaa khin bheethar apanaa keeaa paaeiaa||

In an instant, the slanderer was reduced to ashes; she received the rewards of her own actions.

aagam nigam kehai jan naanak sabh dhaekhai lok sabaaeiaa ||2||6||

Servant Nanak speaks the truth of the scriptures; the whole world is witness to it. ||2||6||11||
