1. Arrival at Patna Sahib
Guru Gobind Rai (young Guru Gobind Singh Ji) was living at Patna Sahib during his early years. Even as a child, he was filled with wisdom, compassion, and divine light.
2. The Visit of Birdh Mata
One day, an old and poor woman named Birdh Mata came to meet young Gobind Rai. She had heard that the child Guru was no ordinary boy. With great love, she brought a simple gift – a dry roti (bread) wrapped in cloth.
3. Guru Ji’s Humble Acceptance
When she arrived, the guards and servants mocked her and tried to stop her. But Guru Gobind Rai saw her and immediately stood up to welcome her. He respectfully took the dry roti with great joy and said, “This is the sweetest offering I have received.”
4. A Divine Blessing
Guru Ji not only accepted her offering but also honored her in front of the Sangat. He reminded everyone that Waheguru sees the love behind every gift, not the size or wealth of it.
💡 The Message
- 🔶 True love and devotion are more valuable than riches.

📚 Moral of the Story:
