The Letters of Longing
Sent to Lahore for a family wedding, Arjan Dev was kept away from his father for months. He wrote three poetic letters expressing deep spiritual thirst. The third letter was intercepted by his jealous brother, but once the Guru saw the depth of Arjan’s soul, he declared him the next Guru, proving that devotion outweighs birth order.
