Japji sahib
The disciples, both men and women came from all directions, and took part freely in the song of the Guru. The Afghans and the Balochs, the Turks and the Tartars, the Sufis and the Brahmans, the white and the dark races, mingled in his great heart. In the trackless world of that time, the old Father of his people travelled on foot, singing his Hymns of Nam, and gathering every trace of love. He was an old man then and he loved to see the crowds of god’s disciples coming from the distant Kabul and Central Asia and Assam and Southern India - all the places where he had been in his younger days. The bread and water were ready at all the hours of the day, and crowds came and freely partook at the guru’s treasury of thought and love and power the diseased and distressed were healed by him. He was of the people and once again his stores were open for them. The Guru took keen delight in sowing wheat, and reaping the golden harvests. Guru Nanak started farming at Kartarpur, the town of Kartar (creator) as he called it.His people came and worked with him in the fields.
