Guru Arjan Dev Ji's martydom

Saain Mian Mir was greatly annoyed on seeing Guru sitting on a hot plate, while hot sand was poured on his head and body. He sought Guru Ji's permission to end this cruel rule but the peace loving Guru commented which is expressed by a poet as:

(Mian, chhodo preeti cham se,
Tan tap raha to kiya hua,
hum shant hain Harinam se.)

Main, let go the attachment of the skin,
If my body is getting hotter, so what,
i am totally at peace with Naam (his presence).

The mighty composer of the Divine Bani displayed its miraculous power practically. The granter of peace, tolerance, patient, humility, and goodwill towards all showed its characteristics through Guru Arjan Dev Ji.
