Guru Nanak blessing Bhai Lehna

Bhai Lehna decided to stay with Guru Nanak at Kartarpur. However, Bhai Lehna’s companions left for Jawalamukhi to worship the goddess Durga.

After staying for a few days at Kartarpur, he said to himself, ‘Let me go to my village and tell my family and friends about my plans to stay with Guru Nanak. Then I shall come back and stay with the Guru for a longer time and no one will worry about my whereabouts.’'

Bhai Sahib ji went back to his village Khadur Sahib in district Amritsar. He stayed at his village for a few days only. Soon, he was ready to return to Kartarpur. He wanted to be with the Guru. He wanted to learn from the Guru and serve him as this was the custom at the time. He wanted to become a disciple of Guru Nanak and learn true wisdom from him.

Before starting his journey back, he said to himself, ‘I must take something with me for the Guru. He runs a free kitchen. Scores of people take their meals from there. They do not have to pay anything for the meals. I should take something for the Langar or "free kitchen for all". But what should I take? Yes, let it be as heavy a load of salt as I can carry on my head.’....Continued.
