We do take our leather shoes and handbags to Guradwara. Sometimes in the langar people forget to check the ingredients of sweets and gelatine sweets go floating around being served to sangat.
All money has touched many many hands before we even touch it. Are our hands suche after matha tek ? So we go and wash them again ? No, we just simply take parshaad in our hands and eat it. How many meat eating hands must have handled it before. People having their lunch and not washing their hands and counting their money later.
We ourselves are made out of meat and blood and we take ourselves to the Guradwara, and sit and pray from the Guru Granth Sahib.
Real sucham is the purity of our thoughts. We take the dust from the shoes of the saints and place it on our forehead. Do we consider it dirty then?
Just the thought of a little meat product in a note however freaks us out greatly. However it does not matter how we earned the fiver. it may have been earned from selling a meat product. The Christians used to offer animal sacrifices to God at one time. Guru Nanak Dev Ji has given us guidance on what is true sucham.
