Angad Dev

Guru Nanak spent several days at a cremation ground. His disciples wondered why he would leave his ashram to go and stay in such a place. Some of them decided to go and see what he was doing. They found him sitting beside a corpse. Guru Maharaj Ji told them, "If you are truly my disciples you will eat this body." They all stood up and walked away, saying, "How could he expect us to do such a thing? He must have gone mad." Lehna, however, bowed and said, "Master, should I start with the hands or the feet?" But as he lifted the cloth he saw not a dead body but a banquet of many tasty dishes. Guru Nanak used to test his disciples like this and those who had true faith, who didn't try to analyze everything intellectually and who had no doubts, were the ones who progressed. Guru Maharaj Ji knew that Lehna had successfully passed every test. He embraced him and said, "From now on you will be known as Angad Dev and you will take over from me."
