Crunch, crunch, crunch crushed the snow under the boots of the Killer Zombies. Their eyes were bloodshot red and they swayed as they walked. The snow turned red as blood fell from their arms as they cut themselves. A leader shouted orders at them and they changed direction. But where were they going? They headed towards the hospital where they would find treatment, and new victims to make into Killer Zombies... Bahadur Singh screamed and his mother came to see what was happening. "What are you watching?" she asked. Bahadur Singh looked at his mum and shook his head. "You wouldn't understand, it's cool, it's happenin' man, it's the 'Night of the Killer Zombies'". "So", she said, "it's a Gurmat film, it's about our situation." "Hey!" Bahadur Singh almost fainted. "What are you talking about!" "We have ten gates in our bodies, nine dealing with the five senses, and the tenth dealing with the spiritual life. Those who are not spiritually alive, are only 9/10 alive, i.e. zombies - neither dead or alive, the undead."
"Yeah, but we don't cut ourselves up, do we?" Bahadur Singh was defiant. "Don't we? When we get angry with someone, or madly lustful, or arrogant that we are this and that, or behave with people depending on whether they are "us" or "them", and get mad and just can't get it out of our system, aren't we just hurting ourselves? We're not really engaging with that other person, only with an image in our minds. It's not living, it's fantasizing!" "OK, but we don't have a leader." "You have two leaders, one is society. If people do this, then you do it. You want to belong, rather than be yourself. The second is your mind. Can you relax it and just focus on something or does it always start chattering, taking you here and there. Do you control your mind, or does it keep leading you in different directions, like the zombie king. "So what's the hospital where the zombies are headed then, mumpupwee?" It's the bar where you too will get red-eyed and start walking funny, if you don't wake up. How do you wake up? Go visit the Guru, take the medicine of the Name and see the 10/10 fully alive Khalsa.
