Rep. Ranjeev Puri, from the 21st District, offered the following invocation:
“Waheguru, Ram, God, Allah, Divine
Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji kay Fateh
We live in challenging times. We are here to serve, and we want to do our best – but we are also imperfect beings living in an imperfect world.
Give us the humility to recognize our smallness and our shortcomings and our limits – and that the world extends beyond our individual selves.
Give us the courage to grapple with this reality. Courage to work for justice at the risk of personal harm. Courage to show up in public, knowing that this work comes with exposure and vulnerability and hurt – and yet we do it anyway.
Give us the wisdom to see Your goodness in all we encounter. The wisdom to realize that divinity resides equally in each and every one of us – including ourselves. Give us the wisdom to not just believe in our interconnectedness, but to live it.
And finally, give us the conviction to help keep us steadfast, through all the ups and downs of our own lives and all through all the tumult of the world. Give us the conviction to do what is right and to do it for the right reasons – no matter how hard it is or what the consequences might be.
I will close with the last line of ardaas, a daily congregational prayer, which asks for well-being of all people and the spirit of optimism that keeps us motivated and connected in all aspects of life:
Nanak Nam Chardi Kala Tere Bhane Sarbat Da Bhala
Thank you.”
