" Pratham rehat eh jaan khandey ki pahul chhake"
A Sikh said to Guru Gobind Singh jee, "What's the point of rehat, or code of conduct, forget about receiving amrit all I need to do is the Guru's service, or seva, don't I?"
Guru Gobind Singh jee told him the time would come and he would understand why amrit was important. Soon afterwards, the man's young son died. Guru Gobind Singh jee came. The Sikh stood up and said, "Guru jee, my son has left."
Guru Gobind Singh jee asked him to take the sheet off the body and said to the father, "I thought you said he was dead, but look at him his hands, feet, eyes and teeth are still intact. Yet you say he is dead."
The Sikh said, "What's the point of the body when there is no breath?"
Guru Gobind Singh jee said, "Now you have your answer. You asked me what's the point of the body without any breath. In the same way without rehat, or the code of conduct that you follow after receiving amrit, my Sikh has no life at all, infact he's as good as dead."
The Sikh said, "Guru jee, now I understand that Amrit is as important to the Guru as breaths are to the body."
