The Spirit of Equality and Devotion - Sunbeam Suncity

 

Life lessons from Allegory: A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels - Amardeep Singh

The journey of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Bhai Mardana highlights the various religious practices people followed to express their devotion. It also reflects the many challenges they faced in spreading the message of peace, unity, and equality in society. These stories continue to inspire us, showing how dedication, effort, and perseverance—no matter how small—can bring about great change, just like tiny drops of water together form an ocean.
Mayank Malani

This session taught us that we are all equal in the eyes of God. He does not judge anyone based on their religion; what truly matters to Him are our actions, our faith, and our deeds. The water inside the Gurudwara symbolises the peace and purity of the holy place. Even the tradition of serving Langar in the Gurudwara reminds us that no matter one’s caste or status—whether high or low—everyone is treated equally. Everything we receive, including food, is a divine gift from God.

Jai Hind, everyone,
In today’s reading session, we learned many inspiring things about Guru Nanak Dev Ji—his teachings, values, and his simple, humble way of life. He was born in Talwandi, which is now in Pakistan. We were deeply moved by the way people worshipped him and how he shared his message with society. As the first Guru of Sikhism, he played a significant role in shaping its foundation and is also regarded as one of the greatest philosophers in history.

Vaidehi

Through this session, I learned that Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the first Guru of Sikhism. He was known for his kindness and humility. His teachings—especially about equality, compassion, and humility—left a deep impact on me. What touched my heart the most was his message of brotherhood among people of all religions—Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and Christians. He strongly believed that no one should be discriminated against based on their faith. Guru Nanak Dev Ji also taught that truth is understood through pure and thoughtful thinking.

When It All Began - Anvesha Rana

We don’t have to be great to start, but we need to start to be great. All of us must have been a beginner at some point in our lives, on the sports field or on the dance stage. Every person who has achieved success today would have been a beginner once, so allow yourself to be a beginner, for no one starts off being excellent, and it is the critiques that shape our character, not the praise. 

In school life, co-curricular activities are just as important as academics. I loved to dance in the cultural arts but was not really good at it. However, during the pandemic, I tried different forms of dance and today, dancing is something that occurs naturally to me. Another activity that I was a beginner at once was writing, but after joining the reading club program, my thoughts changed direction, and I just couldn’t contain them anymore, so I had to write! Practice makes a man perfect; the more I wrote, the better I became!

When I was a new student at school, I found it hard to follow the rules - standing in line, not talking, asking for permission - it was all different. I learnt very early in life that the golden rule everyone should follow is Equality. 

Equality in mind and body; Equality in harmony with the soul; Equality in speech and action; and Equality in life are what we should aim for. Just like the students of Tomoe treated their janitor wonderfully, we should respect everyone for whatever they do, be it small or big, be it quick or slow, and we should treat others the way we wish to be treated. 

Live by the Golden Rule, for it is not stringent but only robust, 

It is Equality.

A unique tree - Rishona Chopra

Hi! I am Lily. I am a tree; I don't have leaves, just me and my children (the branches). My best friend is the snow. It's always around us; never have we felt the loneliness with her. Just because we don't have the definition of beauty people want doesn't mean we are not beautiful. We are just what being pretty means. It means that the happiness in our life shines in you, authentic beauty.

Just because we don't have leaves and flowers doesn't mean that we are not worthy. We are just as good as other trees but are just different and unique. 

Like we say, equality in humans, shouldn't there be equality in trees?

Friendship - Akshar Rajpurohit

Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people. Friendship is a more vital form of interpersonal bond than an association. Friendship has been studied in academic fields such as communication, sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and philosophy. Various educational theories of friendship have been proposed, including social exchange theory, equality theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles.

Such characteristics include affection; kindness, love, virtue, sympathy, empathy, honesty, altruism, loyalty, mutual understanding and compassion, enjoyment of each other company, trust, and the ability to be oneself, express one's feelings to others and make mistakes without fear of judgement from the friend.

Giving - Anvesha Rana

                   "Give without expectations, Give without recognition and Give for the Joy of Giving." 

Equality is essential, but it does not last long, for financial differences always produce a barrier. Consequently, those who have enough must give to those who have nothing. When God blesses us financially, we should not raise our standard of living. Instead, we should raise our standard of giving because much is expected from those to whom much is given. Every day we witness acts of generosity, compassion and selflessness by ordinary people. They do not give a second thought to spending money on someone else when they can spend it on themselves. Life's persistent and most urgent question must be, what are you doing for others. 

Some of the people who have demonstrated extraordinary generosity include Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jorge Munoz, P. Kalyansundaram, Navjot Singh Sidhu and Divij. At the age of thirty-one, Bill Gates was the youngest self-made billionaire, and at the age of sixty-four, he found organizations to address causes that were close to his mother. He helped eradicate Polio and supported many people across the globe financially. Bill Gates may be the richest man, but he is also the man who has contributed to charity more than anyone else. Another person who made the world realize the joy of giving was Warren Buffet; he gave away 85 per cent of his wealth to charity, with a colossal amount pledged to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. We need not be rich to be generous, exemplified by Jorge Munoz, an immigrant from Columbia who lives in New York. He is a bus driver by profession but feeds hungry construction workers in the evening. His mission to serve the construction workers each day leaves him no time for friends, hobbies or leisure, yet each day he comes and becomes the reason for the smile on the faces of so many. We all can take inspiration from these people who have taught the world that giving has no barriers. 

Once we realize the joy of giving, it will become our true nature to give. Giving is not something that occurs occasionally; it should be habitual and permanent. The fragrance always remains on the hand that gives the rose. Giving is beneficial for the one who receives and is even more advantageous for the giver, for it is in giving that we receive.
