Bhai Cheeya Jee & Bhai Lehna Jee


Recommended Posts

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh

Before meeting Guru Nanak Dev jee, Baba Lehna jee (Guru Angad Dev jee) was a merchant. He had a shop where he used to sell atta, daal etc.

Bhai Cheeya jee was a Sikh of Guru Nanak Dev jee and used to work as a daily laborer. At the end of the day he used to go to Baba Lehna jee’s shop to buy atta and daal. For past few days Bhai Cheeya jee didn’t get any work so he couldn’t go over to Baba Lehna jee’s shop. Finally one day when he got the job, he went over to Baba Lehna jee’s shop to buy atta and daal. Baba jee asked Bhai sahib that why didn’t he come over for past few days and if he found another shop. Bhai sahib jee replied back saying he lost his job and he didn’t have enough money to buy the atta and daal. Hearing this Baba jee tried to put some extra atta and daal for Bhai sahib jee. When Bhai Cheeya took the bags, he felt that they were heavier than usual, he asked Baba jee what did he do, why did he gave him extra. Baba jee said it was ok. Bhai sahib jee said that he was Guru Nanak Dev jee’s Sikh and he cannot accept anything that he didn’t pay for or that doesn’t belong to him. He asked Baba jee to take out the extra and only give him what he paid for. Baba jee took out the extra daal and atta. Baba jee got curious and started following Bhai jee to find out would he and his family survive on the little portion of atta and daal.

When Bhai jee reached home, he gave the atta and daal to his wife and asked her to cook the parshaade. Bibi jee cooked 3 parshaades out of the atta Bhai jee gave it to her. As soon as she put the parshaade on to the plate, a saadhu came over and said he was hungry and wanted to eat. Bhai jee welcomed him and told him that the parshaade are ready. Saadhu ate the first parchaada. Once he was finished, Bhai jee asked him if he wanted another one. Saadhu said yes and Bhai jee gave him another parchaada. After finishing the second one, Bhai jee asked if he needed another one. Saadhu said no and after giving aasees to Bhai jee, Saadhu left. Once the Saadhu was gone, Bhai jee asked Bibi jee to eat the parchaada since she had to feed the child. Bibi jee asked Bhai jee to eat the parchaada since he has to go to work the next day and he should have enough energy to work. After arguing with each other for few minutes, they ate half – half and praised Waheguru and Guru Nanak Dev jee. Baba Lehna jee who was watching everything from the window came in crying and asked Bhai jee to take him to Guru Nanak Dev jee who taught Bhai jee and his family santokh (contentment).

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
