Vand Chakna - Sharing with Others
The third pillar of Sikh life: sharing resources, time, and abilities with those in need.
Vand Chakna goes beyond charity - it is a way of life that sees all resources as collective blessings to be shared. The Gurus established Langar as the practical expression of this principle.
One who shares with others, while practicing meditation, is blessed.
Vand Chakna creates spiritual community and dissolves barriers between people.

- What Sikhism says about seva and service
The third pillar of Sikh life. What you have is treated as something to be shared rather than held, and it covers time and skill as well as money.
