#[[Vaṇḍ Chakkō]]: The Sikhs were asked to share (the food, Wealth etc.) with everyone, Irrespective of caste, creed, color or sexuality by practising [[Vaṇḍ Chakkō]]—“Share and Consume together”. The community or [[Sadh Sangat]] is an important part of [[Sikhism]]. One must be part of a community that is pursuing the values set out by the [[Sikh Gurus]] and every Sikh has to give in whatever way possible to the community. This spirit of '''Giving''' is an important message from [[Guru Nanak]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sikhgurdwaradc.org/sikh-pillars/|title=The Three Pillars of Sikhism|website= Sikh Gurdwara DC|language=en|access-date=2020-06-19}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sikhnet.com/news/three-pillars-sikhi|title= The Three Key Pillars of Sikhi|website= Sikh Net|language=en|access-date=2020-06-19}}</ref><br />
