Gurmeet Singh from BC, Canada travels to the UK to support his wife attend the Journey of Compassion retreat. He arrives and falls in love with the warmth and spiritually uplifting sangat, so much so that when they left to go on holiday to Rome, a few days in, they were missing the sangat so much that they cancelled their holiday and came back to attend the Somerset monthly divan! In this conversation, we hear about the inspirational stories of Gurmeet Singh in his service as a lieutenant in the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services. Bhai Baljit Singh and Gurmeet Singh discuss judgement in sangat, the difficult journey of overcoming habits of addiction and the concept of service and devotion. This is a much watch and very powerful conversation.
