Vaṇḍ Chakō (Punjabi: ਵੰਡ ਛਕੋ) is one of the three main pillars of the teachings of Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikhism.
A Sikh is expected to contribute a portion of their wealth or income to people in need or to a worthy cause.
The merits of giving donations to charity and devotional worship come from the Kirtan of the Praises of the Transcendent Lord; this is the true essence of wisdom.
Singing the Praises of the unapproachable, infinite Lord and Master, I have found immeasurable peace.
Hearing, chanting and meditating on the jewel of the Naam, I live; Nanak wears the Lord as his necklace.
