Oak Creek Gurdwara Shooting

You may have heard of the shooting at the Sikh gurdwara in Wisconsin. Very sad; but it is also somewhat a relief that the shooter arrived in the morning, when the only people around were those involved in preparations for the day, rather than at the afternoon services when there would have been hundreds of people in the building. God go with them all.

The humble servants of the Lord are absorbed in the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. The pain of birth and the fear of death are eradicated.

They have found the Imperishable Supreme Being, the Transcendent Lord God, and they receive great honor throughout all the worlds and realms.

[Sri Guru Granth page 13, line 11 (also page 171, line 9)]
