I guess they probably see it as an indulgence, and therefore something that demeans their spirituality. By spurning degh they signal their superiority to the rabble who are busy yamming it into their gobs as fast as possible. Just my opinion.

Tbh, the ones I have seen refuse degh are full of Ankaar and do look down at others. 

[Guest Guest]

Maybe ask them and they may have a genuine reason.

I know a guy who never ate degh as he was allergic to wheat.

I had an older uncle who did this, he had diabetes, and the flour and sugar would send his blood sugar levels sky high. So he stop eating it - not out of choice though.

That might be another reason?

A lot of people avoid khandh these days.

Not all of these people refusing degh is for medical reasons. Yes a small amount may not have it for diabetes etc.

If it is after Ardaas, and it’s being given out to all Sangat but some of the Sangat already had some earlier, I’ve been told second serving  should be declined

Don't know if any Rehit to support this though

I am referring to those who refuse degh all the time. But I can understand what you’re saying about refusing second serving

Health reasons probably. Daas only ever seen elders ask for “swayaa” which basically means ‘whoa that’s way too much, can you give me a little bit please’. 

Opposite of a young kid coming back to ask for more. How can anyone refuse their cute face

Some are Christian converts who could be attending functions of relatives. I notice them not eating Degh but they seem to have no hesitation in having Langgar.
