Bhai Gokhu Mehta was a dedicated Sikh of the time of Guru Arjan Sahib. Once he, along with Bhai Maddu, Bhai Toda Mehta and Bhai Tota, visited Guru Sahib and asked for some specific sermons. Guru Sahib told them to join Sangat and recite Gurbani. Gurbani purges one’s mind from the thought of committing sin. Gurbani gives peace of mind. Gurbani cleanses mind of ego and the thought of duality, and it leads to self-realisation. One gets the company of virtuous people in Sangat. All this leads to liberation Bhai Gokhu and his associates made active participation during the digging of the Amritsar Sarovar.
