8. Unnecessary charity – Prohibited: - Do not have to give<br />
anything in form of charity anywhere and to anyone. Neither money,<br />
nor unstitched cloth etc, nothing. If someone comes asking for any<br />
charity then feed him and give something to drink like tea, milk,<br />
lassi, water etc, but do not have to give anything else. Who knows<br />
that beggar might misuse that money. For instance, a man hearing a<br />
false story of a beggar, in which he was telling that his children are<br />
suffering without treatment and please give me some money, out of<br />
emotions, gave him Rs 100. Earlier that beggar used to drink 250<br />
ml of alcohol. That day he drank half a bottle of alcohol and beat his<br />
wife. His wife along with his children committed suicide. That<br />
charity done by you became the cause of that family’s destruction.<br />
If you want to help such a distressed person, then get his children<br />
medication from the doctor; do not give money.<br />

Guru bin dono nishfal hain, poochchho ved puraan ||”<br />
9. It is prohibited to eat remnants of food previously tasted<br />
by someone: - Do not have to eat food remnants of such a person<br />
who consumes alcohol, meat, tobacco, egg, beer, opium, cannabis etc.<br />
10. Performance of last-rites after (death) departure to<br />
Satyalok– Prohibited: - If someone dies in the family, then do not<br />
have to pick up anything like ashes etc, nor have to offer pind etc,<br />
nor have to do terahmi, chhHmahi, barsodi, and shraadhs 1 etc; do<br />
not have to do anything. Do not have to get any hawan performed<br />
by any other person. If you want to do any meritorious act on his<br />
(deceased person’s) name, then after taking permission from your<br />
Gurudev <strong>Ji</strong>, should keep the Akhand (non-stop) Paath of Bandichhor<br />
Garibdas <strong>Ji</strong> Maharaj’s sacred speech. You have to continue lighting<br />
lamp and doing Aarti, sumiran of naam etc like everyday, bearing<br />
this in mind that —<br />
Kabir, saathi hamaare chale gaye, hum bhi chaalan haar |<br />
koye kaagaj mein baaki rah rahi, taate lag rahi vaar ||<br />
Kabir, deh padi to kya hua, jhootha sabhi pateet |<br />
pakshi udya aakaash koon, chalta kar gaya beet ||<br />
1 These are rites performed after a person’s death<br />
