Amrit
is a blessing from the Guru, which saves a person from the cycle of births and
deaths.
The Satguru's greatest blessing is the sweet Amrit and Karah Parshaad. By receiving
Amrit prepared with the Khanda, a person is reborn.
All differences of race, caste, colour, gender and wealth are removed. The Panj
Piaré having been beheaded by the Satguru and then made whole again with
Waheguru's power, received the Amrit from same iron bowl. After having done
this, the Satguru himself took Amrit from the Panj Piaré.
From that day onwards, Amrit has only been prepared and bestowed by Panj Piaré
and never by one or two Singhs. Without taking Amrit, a person can not belong
to the Guru. The Guru has said that, even saying the name of a person who does
not belong to the Guru is bad.
Once a girl or boy has perfected his/her rehat, then they must take Amrit. Having
taken Amrit, the boy or girl must bear in mind that they can not marry a non-Amritdhaari
. Similarly, if a person is already married when he/she takes Amrit, and the
husband or wife has not taken Amrit, the should can not have a sexual relationship
until both become Amritdhaari. If the couple, have sexual intercourse, they
have both broken their rehat just as a clean pot becomes dirty if it touches
a dirty one. A husband and wife should take Amrit together, and thus keep their
rehat intact. It is not sufficient, for just the husband OR wife to take Amrit
upon marriage.
