Gurbani Tutor

Traveling further, Guru Ji reached Banares. The other name of Banares is Kanshi. Here lived a pandit named Chattar Das.

When he saw Guru Ji sitting on the bank of the river, he came and said: You are sitting just like that. You are a sadhu. You should be sitting in front of an idol of Salig Ram or any other idol. You are not wearing the garland of Basil beads. You learn idol worship. Then, you will be called a sadhu.

Guru Ji said: Idol worship is not good. I worship the Lord who is formless. You also worship the Lord who is formless and keep away from evil deeds.

Drink the ambrosia. That ambrosia is the Lord's name. In this way, there was a long discussion.

Finally, the pandit touched Guru Ji's feet and became his disciple.
