The Guru had us sit in langar lines on the ground for a good reason. As the Guru taught that we are all equal in the eyes of God. he wanted to give everyone that reality. If we have tables and chairs and an extra 150 humans show up for the Gurus langar how are we equal? Do they sit on the floor while we sit in chairs?
The Guru dimonstrated that we would be served from a common pot moved and served up and down the lines. Does someone walk on the tables? The experience of Langar does not lend itself to tables and chairs. Tables turn it into lunch. let us keep the gurus form in our lives.
