“The Guru’s vision, radical vision of complete freedom from mind, body, and soul, of spirit, is such an empowering act, and one that will stick with me throughout this year that we have coming before us. I ask you to reflect with me, to think about what the Khalsa means to you and what Guru Gobind Sahib Ji’s radical act of being the Gur-Chela, being the Guru and the Sikh means to you.”
