In my collection of training music is a cassette of traditional Gatka music from India. It is the music that the Sikh warriors would train to when performing the pentra, a weaving footwork pattern integral to their style.

The music features a devotion to God, and thankfully, this is done also in English on the tape. I wanted to share this powerful devotion, and have transcribed it here. The person who is repeating these kinds of things again and again from a young age while learning the art will develop into a mentally strong, focused warrior.

Remember, you become what you think about most of the time...

What do you think a person who repeats this sincerely will become? Read the last stanza, especially.
