GURU NANAK DEV JI AND HIS SISTER

When he prepared to go on his long journeys into the trackless lands around, usually on foot, Nanaki( his elder sister and his disciple) could not brook even the thought of such a long separation from him.
She said, 'O, divine one! what will be our condition then? How shall thy lotuses live and breath without thee!''
Bibi, said the brother, ''this is Heaven's call, I must go whither it leads my feet. Mny will attain the heavenly life if you forego for a while your own yearnings. I would not be gone from you. Whenever you will think of me, I will be with you.''
Guru Nanak did return to her frequently, interrupting his travels.
Mardana, the rebec player, joined him; and Nanak took up his royal residence under the stars.
He went to Sangaladeep and other isles in the south of India, he visited the Nilgiru hills. He crossed the borders of Assam in the east and the trans himalays in the north, and went by Baghdad and Bokhara right up to the caucasian mountains. He visited Mecca, whither he came by the way of Baluchistan. He travelled throughout the north-western frontier of India and the kashmir. None ever travelled so much with one single purpose; namely, to thrill the earth from pole to pole with the working of his spirit.
