He was sent to K&#257bul to preach Gur&#363 Nanak's word and he established there a <i>dharams&#257l</i>. According to Sar&#363p D&#257s Bhall&#257, <i>Mahim&#257 Prak&#257sh</i>, one day as he sat in contemplation concentrating his mind on the Gur&#363's feet, he fell into a trance. At the same moment, Gur&#363 Har R&#257i sat motionless in the <i>sa&#7749gat</i> at K&#299ratpur for several hours on end. Even the call for the Gur&#363 k&#257 La&#7749gar went unheeded. When he at last arose, he told the <i>sa&#7749gat</i> how Bh&#257&#299 Gond&#257 at K&#257bul had kept him bound to his seat. The Gur&#363 did not, continues the <i>Mahim&#257 Prak&#257sh</i>, wish to interrupt Bh&#257&#299 Gond&#257's meditation.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Bhall&#257, Sar&#363p D&#257s, <i>Mahim&#257 Prak&#257sh</i>.
