Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sikh Theology" data-source="post: 226532" data-attributes="member: 27410">Here's what Akali Kaur Singh wrote about Sarbloh Bibek Rehit, and he was most definitely not from Akhand Kirtani Jatha, lol. This has been written in his book "Khalsa Vidhaan": ਕੁਝ ਜ਼ਰੂਰੀ ਅਸੂਲ1) Without the Rehat of Sarbloh Bibek, one cannot heed to the Shromanee Panthic Maryada of Amritdhari dee Saa(n)j Amritdhari naal (with this the Panth becomes ਨਿਆਰਾਪਨ and distinct).2) The person who follows the principles of Amrit Rehat is an Amritdhari. The meaning of Rehat is to have unparalleled faith in the word of Gurbani and to follow Seenaa-Baseenaa Rehat also, some people stress on Gurbani Rehat and some on Seenaa-Baseenaa, both are mandatory side by side.3) One that is not BibekDhari, he is not Amritdhari. He may have had Amrit, but he has not taken heed to it. (Us Ne Amrit Chakkia par Amrit Dharn nahee keetaa). In other words, he has taken amrit but has not accepted or adopted amrit from heart.4) Only he is an Amritdhari who keeps Bibek and complete Rehat.5) Bibek or Sarbloh Bibek, they are both the same Rehat, you cannot make two Rehats out of one, thus without Sarbloh you cannot have Bibek.6) Without Sarbloh Bibek, the Panth cannot be distinct (Niarapan). An English writer, Mr. Edmond Kendler praises Sarbloh in his book ˜Metal of East, he writes that Sarbloh Bibek gave the Khalsa an appearance of a nation :-To the Khalsa it (srb lOh) gave a cause and welded them into a nation.This is a truth. Without Sarbloh Bibek we will not be distinct, only distinctness will give the Khalsa the appearance of a nation.In the Akhand Keertanee Jatha, Sarbloh was mandatory to begin with, but now this Rehat has been stopped because in this day and age, the majority of people do not deem it necessary to have Sarbloh, but in the rest of the Panth Sarbloh is not even heard of. There are just a few Sarbloh Bibekis left within the Nihang Singhs; you will only get a handful that adheres to this Rehat. Even within the Nihang Singhs, there are them who do Sukha (Marijuana) and Chatka (ritual slaughter of meat), and therefore their Gurbani and Naam all goes to waste. This is why they have been unable to do any sevaa for the Panth as of yet.In the Panth, the Akhand Keertanee Jatha is nearest to Kalgidhars Rehat. The weaknesses that have crept in came after Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh stopped doing sevaa in the Panj. They are :-1) Sarbloh Bibek is not stated as mandatory, so the person who is weak in Sarbloh “ how are you going to tell him that he is kurehati?2) Bana is not stated as mandatory, it is the slavery of the English that shows why we take Amrit wearing Pants and Shirt.3) Small Kirpan (approx. 9”) big Kirpan (approx. 2 and a half to 3 foot), both Kirpans are not stated as mandatory, you can get Amrit with just a small one nowadays! This Rehat started from the times of 6th Paatshah (Guru Hargobind Sahib), this Rehat is still alive at Hazoor Sahib, only when you have 2 Siri Sahibs do they give you Amrit (Even there weakness has crept in, they take the Siri Sahibaa off afterwards).4) To keep the enemy at bay, do justice and use the sword it is a must that Singhs and Singhneeaa alike learn Gatka.</blockquote>
