Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!
Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

Bibi Bhani was Guroo's Amar Das Jee's youngest daughter and used to attend her father regularly. She used to fan Him, draw water and also work in the kitchen. One day the Guroo was sitting on His couch (chauki) in deep meditation, when Bibi Bhani noticed that one leg of His couch had broken. Fearing that His meditation would be disturbed, she put her arm in place of the broken leg to support the couch. When the Guroo opened His eyes, He found blood coming out of Bibi Bhani's arm. On inquiry Bibi explained that the broken leg might have caused disturbance in His meditation and so she thought herself fortunate to serve the Guroo by substituting her arm for the broken leg of the couch.

The Guroo commented, "whosoever does good work, shall reap the reward thereof." He invited her to ask for any favor. She humbly requested that the Gurooship should remain in her family. It is believed that the Guroo told Bibi Bhani that the Gurooship was not a bed of roses, and He warned her of the trouble and torture that the later Guroos would have to go through. Bibi Bhani agreed to embrace all those troubles, and again requested to grant her the wish that the Gurooship would remain in her family. So far the Gurooship was earned by obedience and devotion to the Guroo. Here again Bibi Bhani earned it, for her family, with her devotion and sacrifice. The Guroo granted her the wish and the Gurooship thereafter remained in Bibi Bhani's family.
