Sarbloh Bibek

The issue of Sarbloh Bibek is a rather controversial one amongst Sikhs across the globe.

Daas keeps this Rehit also. Sarbloh Bibek is a very powerful Rehat, we as Sikhs should try and keep Bibek as much as possible, as whatever we eat affects our inner state aswell. If we look back in history we will note that many Naam Abhiyaasee Gursikhs were Sarbloh Bibekee, such as Akali Phoola Singh and other Nihangs, Bhai Randhir Singh Ji and his companions, some Taksalis are known to keep Sarbloh Bibek also. Time has let this important Rehat be forgotten, we should try to eat in Sarbloh and keep Bibek as much as possible. We should not point fingers at certain Jathebandeeaa and say they started Sarbloh Bibek, as far as Daas knows, there is only one Jathebandee which is the Khalsa!

Although Sarbloh Bibek is an important Rehat, one can do without it if they have the Naam Kamaaee. Though, in our day and age, there are very few enlightened souls such as Sant Baba Nand Singh Kalera(n) Wale etc, that devoted their whole life to Naam. In addition, one should concentrate on purity from the inside more rather than on the outside, because once we get too involved with the outside, then it is very very easy to become arrogant and this way, ego wells up and we stop Japping Naam, which is the biggest disease man can get.

Every day we read in Shabad Hazaare: ‘Sahib Tere Naam Vitoh Bind Bind Chuk Chuk Hoe!’ We should sacrifice ourself to this wonderful Naam and then all other Rehats will come following behind with folded hands. The more we Jap Naam, the more easier it becomes to keep these Rehats, because Guru Sahib himself does all your work for you and then everything just happens in Sehaj Avastha.

So Sarbloh Bibek is important, but we must instruct our minds also and pay more attention to our soul. One other thing that Daas has come across is discrimination, if one is Sarbloh Bibekee, then they should not discriminate against anyone for not being like them. They should cook for their family etc, and encourage others to follow their path. Otherwise, if one discourages someone from keeping this Rehat, then that is also a sin.

Daas believes that Degh (Parshaad)and Guru Ka Langar should be prepared in Sarbloh anyway, by a Naam Japan Vala Tyaar Bar Tyaar Rehatvaan Gurmukh - this we feel the real affects of the Parshaad. When preparing these we should Jap Naam. Personally, Daas does not take food at the Gurdwara, unless Daas is positive it was prepared in Sarbloh...Although, the best bhojan (food) one can get at the Gurdwara is Naam, Daas begs for this food from the Satguru.

Daas is also thankful for the Sangat for visiting this Blogger...Daas hopes it inspires everyone to become Gursikh and start meditating. We are only on this world to Jap Naam and nothing else.

Another Bentee to the Saadh Sangat, please do not start unnecessary debates on Forums with other Gursikhs, as you are the Youth for the future, you should Jap as much Naam in your Youth, otherwise you will regret later on in life. Although, Daas has noted a significant change, and a number of Youth are taking particular interest in reverting to Spirituallity and doing Simran, this is evident through some posts on the Gurdwara Tapoban Sahib message board...but, you will always get a few people who will not shy away from a fruitless arguement instead of helping other on the Sikh path.
