When a devotee has surrendered his all, dedicated every breath of his life to the Lotus Feet of his beloved Guru, pines every moment in the loving holy remembrance, the union of the lover and the beloved becomes eternal.
Guru also pines for the devotee.
Mysterious and unique is the love that exists between the Guru and his beloved sikh. Totally immersed day and night in continuous holy service of His beloved Satguru, aged Sri Guru Amar Das Ji also used to fetch a pitcher of water from the distant river Beas every night for the bath of Sri Guru Angad Sahib. It was during the 12th year of this unparalleled and unique service that on a dark and stormy night, on His way back, Sri Guru Amar Das Ji s foot got entangled in a weaver s stump, and He fell into a weaving pit. Guru Amar Das Ji fell but did not let the pitcher fall. The Knower of all Hearts, Sri Guru Nanak Sahib the Second asked Sri Guru Amar Das Ji on His return, Purkha Ji, You are slightly late today.
