Immediately falling in love with Gurbani (Guru's words), Bhai Lena Ji asked Bhai Jod Singh what you were singing and who wrote it. Bhai Jodh Singh told them that it was the work of my beloved Guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, who lives in Kartarpur. Bhai Lena Ji decided to go to Kartarpur Sahib to meet Guru Nanak Dev Ji. On the way to Kartarpur Sahib Bhai Ji ran into Guru Nanak Dev Ji who was returning home from the field. Bhai Lena Ji asked Guru Ji how to get to Dharamsala and Guru Nanak Dev Ji directed Bhai Ji's horse.
Later, upon entering Dharamsala, Bhai Lena Ji was shocked to see that the person who showed him the way was actually Guru Nanak Dev Ji. He was disappointed that his Guru was walking while he was sitting comfortably on a horse. While spending time with Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Bhai Lena Ji fell in love with his message and later returned to his village to share with everyone that he no longer worships Durga, the Hindu goddess.
