“The greatest comforts and lasting peace are obtained, when one eradicates selfishness from within”
Gurdwara Nagina Ghat Sahib, is on the river bank, about 400 meters southwest of Takhat Hazoor Sahib. According to tradition Guru Gobind Singh Ji attended by some Sikhs was standing here watching the river flow when a rich merchant, proud of his wealth, came and presented a costly nagina (precious stone usually for inset work in gold) to the Guru.
Guru Sahib having received the precious jewel from the wealthy merchant, casually threw it in the river. The merchant bore a look as if pitying the Guru who, thought he, despite his princely style was after all a sadhu who did not know the value of his present.
Guru Gobind Singh Ji read his thought and bade him to carefully look down into the slow flowing current. What he saw, filled the merchant both with wonder as well as remorse at his evil thoughts about Guru Sahib. He saw millions of jewels lying at the river bed. Purged of pride, he fell at the Guru’s feet.
