The Arrest at Agra

The Guru set out for Delhi to challenge the Emperor's tyranny. He was arrested at Agra and brought to Delhi in chains. Aurangzeb offered him three choices: perform a miracle to prove his divinity, embrace Islam, or face death. The Guru replied that miracles are the 'wrath of God' and he would never betray his faith or the freedom of others.
