The Naming of Angad
Recognizing Lehna's total surrender and obedience, Guru Nanak embraced him and declared, 'You are Angad' (a part of my own body). He passed the Divine Light to him, choosing the devoted disciple over his own flesh and blood, establishing that Guruship is a merit of the soul, not a right of birth.
