A Share for Others First

The Gurus taught a lovely habit called ‘vand chakko’ — to share before you eat. Out of all you earn or cook, you first set aside a portion for those in need.

A Sikh family might keep a little flour in a jar for the hungry, or always cook a little extra for an unexpected guest, sharing as naturally as breathing.

Giving first, before taking for yourself, turns every meal into an act of kindness and keeps the heart open and generous.
