ਬਿਬੇਕ ਰਹਿਤ (ਖਾਣ ਦੀ) ਬਾਰੇ ਵਿਚਾਰ | Vichaar on dietary Bibek Rehat - Giani Pinderpal Singh Ji


Giani Pinderpal Singh Ji explaining logic behind Bibek dietary Rehat that Guru Sahib has instructed his disciples to keep. Giani Ji explains how the food we eat, who prepares it, how the food was bought and who serves it makes a difference to our individual spirituality. Giani Ji further explains that “Guru Ka Langar” today in many places is just name sake and importance of making Langar so it spiritually benefits those cooking and those eating it. .

Giani Ji explains that each individual has an aura. One’s aura is shaped by one’s faithfulness to the Lord, spiritual practice one observes, one’s behaviour and one’s habits. According to Gurbani, if a Gurmukh (Guru-centred individual) holds a dry Roti, that roti becomes Amrit (spiritual life-energy filled) and if a Manmukh (ego centred individual) who chooses not to follow the Guru’s Hukam but their own thinking, even if they are holding various types of food delicacies, it becomes spiritual-poison for the spiritual-seeker. Gurbani says:
ਸੰਤਨ ਕਾ ਦਾਨਾ ਰੂਖਾ ਸੋ ਸਰਬ ਨਿਧਾਨ ॥
ਗ੍ਰਿਹਿ ਸਾਕਤ ਛਤੀਹ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਤੇ ਬਿਖੂ ਸਮਾਨ ॥੨॥
santan kaa daanaa rookhaa so sarab nidhaan. 
grehi saakat chhateeh prakaar te bikhoo samaan ||2||
“The dry bread of the Saints is equal to all treasures. The thirty-six tasty dishes of the faithless one, are just like poison. ||2||”
(Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji - Ang 881)
