What might you learn from eating in a langar hall?
- Eating in a langar hall is much different than eating just anywhere else. What makes it so unique is that everyone sits on the floor (ground level) which symbolises equality and extinction of cast.- The food that is prepared is made by volunteers, there are no hired chefs and cooks, the comman man puts in his/her time to do what is called seva.- When eating in the langar hall you sense that you are cared about and that god's house will always have an open door for you. Whether you are wealthy or poor, a Sikh or non-Sikh or just about anything else.You learn that as you get together as a community there is no difference between you and someone you may come to believe is more superior than you are. Sitting on the floor symbolises a whole lot in the Sikh faith and that is why there is no use of chairs/seats in the temple.
