Sikh Mothers Fear Not

The rulers of Lahore, in olden times, cast a Sikh youth in prison.

He was the only child of a Sikh widow; for no other crime save that he was a Sikh they would murder him if he offered not allegiance to their injustice and wrong-doing.

The mother could do nothing, she shut herself in her room, And her soul, tranced in agony, passed in a vision to the Beyond, and stood before her Master: "Lord take the child in Thy care; he must owe allegiance to no one but Thee." "Fear not, daughter;" said Guru Gobind Singh; "here comes your son." And there she met her son arrayed in shining armor of light.
