WHAT IS SARBLOH BIBEK?

Bibek in it’s literal definition means from two to one. In other words, to make one choice from two options. In regards to Gurmat, Bibek refers to making decisions that Guru Sahib would be happy with. Bibek is not limited just to dietary restrictions. Rather, it is a lifestyle. A distinct lifestyle that is completely and utterly dedicated to the words of our Gurdev, Guru Granth Sahib Jee. Dietary Bibek is just one part of a Bibeki lifestyle, albeit it is a large part. The western saying “you are what you eat” is reflected in the Gurmat principle of Dietary Bibek. Bhai Sahib Bhai Randhir Singh mentions that the purpose of this human life is to meet Akaal Purakh Vaahiguroo Jee. This body is the vessel that we must use to meet Akaal Purakh - that is why this body needs to be pure. Bhai Sahib writes that the body and the soul have a deep relationship and they both affect each other. Any negative influences on the body will impact our soul and will hinder our journey towards meeting Akaal Purakh. Consequently, it is paramount that we eat from only those who have received Naam. How can we expect to concentrate on Naam when we are eating food prepared by those who have not been blessed with Naam from the Panj Pyare?

'Sarbloh Bibek' or the all iron quality is a strict Rehat (discipline) practised by strict Sikhs and Akali Nihangs. It is one of the paramount definitions of the Khalsa Panth and involves the consumption of edibles strictly from Sarbloh utensils. In Sikh tradition, Sarbloh (all-iron) is prized above other metals due to it being multi-functional and a scientifically beneficial element. It inhibits the food placed in it and adds minerals to it which not only nourish but strengthen the body. Often the historic Sikhs, who strictly payed adherence to this Rehat were described as having bodies like of rock. 

The fact that the day we took Amrit, we were instructed by Guru Ji to wear a Sarbloh Karha and Sarbloh Kirpan stresses the importance of Sarbloh. Furthermore, Guru Gobind Singh Ji  made the decision to prepare Amrit in a Sarbloh utensil. Guru Ji had at his disposal gold, silver and other precious metals but he chose Sarbloh for this purpose. He loved this metal - Sarbloh - so much that he even called Vaheguru by this name as is evident if we look at the starting of his Baani 'Akaal Ustat'. Someone is reminded of their birthday every time they eat in Sarbloh. The Sarbloh Baattaa they are eating from is the same Sarbloh which gave them life and made them reborn as the Khalsa.
