The Journey of Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Once upon a time, in a small village called Talwandi, there lived a little boy named Nanak. Nanak was no ordinary boy; he was kind-hearted, wise, and always went out of his way to help others. His parents, Mehta Kalu and Mata Tripta, were proud of their son's gentle nature. As Nanak grew older, his love for humanity grew stronger. He would spend hours pondering about the world, its people, and the purpose of life. One day, Nanak had an extraordinary vision. He saw a bright light and heard a divine voice calling him to spread love, peace, and unity among all people.

Once, while traveling in a village, Guru Nanak Dev Ji came across a river where a group of sadhus and sages were performing rituals and praying for salvation. Guru Nanak Dev Ji noticed that they were pouring water towards the east, as they believed it would guide their prayers to heaven. Curiosity struck Guru Nanak Dev Ji, and he asked them, "Why do you pour water towards the east? Does God only listen to prayers from the east?" The sadhus were baffled by this question and didn't have an answer.

The sadhus were amazed by Guru Nanak Dev Ji's wisdom and embraced his teachings. They realized that true worship comes from selflessness, love, and serving humanity.
