This vaar is the shortest of the 22 Vaars of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Gursikhs usually read this in their Nitnem daily. When Guru Arjan Dev Ji Maharaj was having this Vaar written by Bhai Gurdas Ji, their Langri (cook) came. He did benti that the food is ready. Guru Ji immediately stopped recitation & had their Langgar. With this, Guru Mahraj showed us importance of respecting food and to leave all work to eat whenever food is ready to have it first.
