Curing a Leper |
During his first Udasi – preaching odyssey – Guru Nanak (1469 – 1539 CE)along with Bhai Mardana visited Goindwal, now in district Amritsar. Here, he called on a leper and asked him to permit them to spend a night in his cottage. the leper was amazed and filled with joy and said, ‘Even the animals would not come nearby. Because of the Grace of God I have come across a human being.’ Whereas, at the very sight of Guru Sahib the leper was cured of leprosy. These are the ways of ‘Men of God’, who by way of Compassion cure the ills of humanity
