SWEETNESS AND HUMILITY

Once Guru Ram Das ji met Sri Chand ji. When they were by themselves Sri Chand ji
casually said, “You have grown your beard so long.”

“O kind Sir, I have done this to dust
your holy feet. This is the only purpose of growing a long beard: There is no other
purpose,” said Guru Ram Das.

“Now I understand. It is through such sweet talk and humility, that you won title to the throne of guruship. lsn’t it so?” remarked Sri Chand, greatly pleased. (4)
