SINGHA, BHAI

SINGHA, BHAI. During his travels Guru Tegh Bahadur once stopped in Khiva, according to the Sakhi Pothi, with a farmer named Singha. Singha offered water, grass and fodder for the Guru`s animals. As he got up to depart, the Guru spoke, “Why are you leaving ? What is the hurry?” He answered that there was a shagan come for his son`s engagement. The Guru said, `You are now apprenticed to the Guru`s service. You have now to fulfil a dual responsibility. From now on you will be entitled to a double share.”
