As Sikhs of the Guru, we understand the power of giving one tenth of our earnings back to the Guru.
So what is the secret of the tenth part? Guru Gobind Singh, our Tenth Master, told his Sikhs that one tenth of the earnings we receive does not belong to us but it belongs to God - the One who gives us all ten tenths! When we give a tenth back to Him, then all of the wealth and prosperity which is ours is revealed to us and is bestowed upon us. And yet, if we fail to give to God that tenth part which is rightfully His, that part is still due and then we may see unexpected expenses - it is a law of life, a cosmic inevitability.
"The Giver gives and gives, and those who take get weary of receiving." - Japji Sahib (by Guru Nanak Dev ji)
