Nanak the Enlightened One

One morning, Nanak went to meditate and bathe beside the Kali Bein, or Black River, with Mardana. Nanak walked into the river and disappeared beneath the water. When he did not show up for work, his employer discovered that he had never come back out from under the water. Everyone assumed that he had drowned except for his sister Nanaki. Three days passed and then, astounding everyone, Nanak emerged from the river alive saying, Na koe Hindu, na koe Musalman There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim. The amazed towns people agreed that Nanak must be a completely enlightened being and began to call him Guru.
