Sabad 3
Regarding the utterance of this Sabad, Sant Hari Singh of ‘Randhawa’ mentions a sakhi (historical narrative). According to him, Guru Amardas Sahib once said to Bhai Paro, a resident of village Dalle, “You are worthy of the Guruship. Can we pass on the Guruship to you?” Bhai Paro said, “O Guru! I am content being a Sikh; I do not want to be a Guru. Therefore, make that person the Guru, who is commanded to be one from the Origin.” The Guru said, “Bhai Paro! This was your test to see how determined you are in your Sikhi. By asking for Sikhi, you have asked for everything. But now go and test Bhai Jetha (Guru Ramdas Sahib’s first name) to see if he is capable of becoming a Guru. Bhai Paro asked Bhai Jetha a question in the form of a request, “the human-bride is ignorant in the parental house. How can she have a glimpse of the Divine-Husband?” Guru Ramdas Sahib gave Bhai Paro a response, which Guru Ramdas Sahib himself uttered in the form of a Sabad after becoming the Guru.

Giani Harnam Singh Khalsa Bhindrawale has given details of the above sakhi pertaining to Bhai Paro in ‘Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji: Shiromani Damdami Satik.’ According to it, while going to Goindwal Sahib for a glimpse of Guru Amardas Sahib, Bhai Paro’s mare was moving high off the ground with what seemed to be supernatural power. Seeing this miracle, a Pathan, who was the chief of the army, came to Bhai Paro. He requested Bhai Paro to make him his servant. Bhai Paro brought him to Guru Amardas Sahib. The Guru said to Bhai Paro, “Why did you not give teachings to this Pathan?” Bhai Paro replied, “You are the only one who imparts teachings.” From this point onwards, the sakhi follows the one given by Sant Hari Singh of ‘Randhawa.’ But there is a difference at the end of the sakhi by Sant Hari Singh of ‘Randhawa,’ who had shown Bhai Jetha (Guru Ramdas Sahib) to be teaching Bhai Paro, while Giani Harnam Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale had written that when the sangat asked Guru Ramdas Sahib, “dearest true Guru, how were you tested for the Guruship?” the Guru uttered this Sabad.
