Gumption....

What would you say courage is? How would you define courage?
To me courage is not ,not feeling scared/fear..... courage is .....to do what you have to do even if that
Scares you. Believe  ,understand what you have to do and just do it ,no matter what.During  the phase
Of my life's  dark age I asked  .....Baba....that ...why did they make my brother's  life easy ....everything   Taken care of ...and  not the same for me ? I always did everything I had to do on my own ....things were never given in a platter to me....here is what he said.....Bhai  cannot do what I can
 Is not so capable .....so  everything is done for him,....and you  Shona  I know if you are thrown in the mid ocean also you will find your way and come back..........huge compliment  that....but my father was a management person and he was good at his work ,never will he hurt you  but make you feel good even if you have  made a mess.He was such  a gentleman ,we really loved and cared for him....
Bhai and I still talk about how we could never do anything wrong  because we did not want to hurt him.....he never so much as shouted on  us  for anything .....but he gave us so much love,the feeling of security that he is there......and  nothing can happen to us ....that he will do anything for us ....protect us from any and everything.....we grew up with a lot of  self confidence,feeling of being wanted....both our parents were a compliment to each other ....so our house vibrated with Love ,fun ,joy.....and they gave us a very clear open mind ....I cannot be grateful enough for that ....it is very difficult for me to understand  how people cannot like every religion ...every culture ...we celebrated
Every festivals of all religion and culture ....very much participated in everything.....We did all the Hindu /Indian  festivals ,we did the Muslim ones....all the ids,Ramzan,tazia....muhharram....The Jewish festivals of Passover,we have the memora ,and the mezuzah in our house,Hannukkah,Saturday /Sunday felt the Sabbath .we had a wonderful crib for Christmas ....lent,Easter ,goodfriday all the lives of saints,love the Bible.Love GuruNanak Devji....THE GURUGRANTH.the day of light of the Tibetians.....GOING to the Muzhar s of great Sufi Saints, Parsi...Nooroz.My daughters too enjoy  and celebrate  every festivals.Our parents gave  the  greatest gift of possibility to us .so  what is there to fear only Love suffices.That Is What Gumption Is All About.
Peace be to all.Shalom.
