After performing penance and meditation for many years, he left on a pilgrimage of the important sikh shrines related with the life events of gurus. During his pilgrimage of the holy places located in the Panjab, he visited many a dwelling abodes of saints and hermits. All this while he was longing for a glimpse of Guru Nanak. He met with Sant Jawand Singh ji of Raja Sansi who took him to Gurudwara ‘Saragarhi’ located at Ferozepur Cantt. With a sole desire of beholding a sight of Guru Nanak, he started long meditation along with Sant Jawand Singh ji. He would prepare meals and make its offer before Gurus. “Oh True Emperor- please partake this food ” was his prayer continuously for a long time. All these days both Baba Jawand Singh ji and Baba ji ate nothing and remained without food. On the seventh day, they prepared food, and arranging in a salver, placed it before Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji , Guru Nanak emerged from Sri Guru Granth Sahib and Baba ji humbly requested him to eat the meal prepared by them. Guru Nanak ate the food and blessed him with all the boons after giving him free and unhindered vision. Baba ji always counselled that meditation must always be done of the holy incantation given by Guru Nanak. The word ‘Waheguru’ is the ticket to the court of the Lord God, whose silent but continuous recitation provides the pleasures of this world and beyond.

Guru Nanak reigns supreme in ‘Kalyug’ and his light is eternally placed in Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. We cannot make a success of our lives without attaching ourselves with the eternal Guru – Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji. This attachment is not possible without part taking of  ‘Amrit’ without which life of a  sikh is  incomplete.

“Every member of a sikh family must become ‘Amritdhari’ (one who has part taken Khande Bate Ki Pahul) and become one belonging to the guru. He should abide by laid down code of conduct and only then can he live a happy life here and hereafter.
