As dusk fell, the priests lighted the lamps and sumptuous ritual for which the devotees had been waiting began. Twinkling lights fed by ghee were placed on a jewel studded salver, amid flowers and incense, and worship fully swung from side to side by the priest in front of the enshrined image to the accompaniment of the chanting of hymns, blowing of conchs and the ringing of bells. The priests had a complaint as they concluded. The Guru had remained seated in his place and not participated in the ceremony. The Guru burst into a divine song:
Bhai Gurmej Singh Jee - Kaisi Aarti hoye
गुरुनानक जी की आरती
गगन में थालु रवि चंदु दीपक।
बने तारिका मण्डल जनक मोती।।
बने तारिका मण्डल जनक मोती।।
धूपमल आनलो पवणु चवरो करे।
सगल बनराई फूलंत जोति ।।
सगल बनराई फूलंत जोति ।।
कैसी आरती होई भवखंडना तेरी आरती।
अनहता सबद बाजंत भेरी रहाउ।।
अनहता सबद बाजंत भेरी रहाउ।।
सहस तव नैन नन नैन है तोहि कउ।
सहस मूरती मना एक तोही।।
सहस मूरती मना एक तोही।।
सहस पद विमल रंग एक पद गंध बिनु।
सहस तव गंध इव चलत मोहि ।।
सहस तव गंध इव चलत मोहि ।।
सभमहि जोति-जोति है सोई,
तिसकै चानणि सभ महि चानणु होई।
तिसकै चानणि सभ महि चानणु होई।
गुरसाखी जोति परगुट होई।
जो तिसु भावै सु आरती होई ।।
जो तिसु भावै सु आरती होई ।।
हरि चरण कमल मकरंद लोभित मनो,
अनदिनी मोहि आहि पिआसा।
अनदिनी मोहि आहि पिआसा।
कृपा जलु देहि नानक सारिंग,
कउ होई जाते तेरे नामि वासा।।
कउ होई जाते तेरे नामि वासा।।
According to the Janam Sakhis, Guru Nanak Dev Ji accompanied by Bhai Mardana Ji, stopped near the temple of Jagannath, which is dedicated to Hindu god Vishnu. Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Bhai Mardana Ji stopped near the shrine upon which sat centuries of history mute and immobilized. The notes from Bhai Mardana’s Rabaab (rebeck) touched the devotees’ hearts with fresh fervor. Several of them came to hear the Guru’s word. The temple priests felt angry and held the Guru Ji guilty for not making adoration to the deity within the sacred enclosure. The local chief whose name has been described, as Krishan Lal one day visited the Guru and invited him to join the aarti, or the evening service of lights, in the temple. The Guru readily offered to go with him.

The priests had a complaint as they concluded. The Guru had remained seated in his place and not participated in the ceremony. The Guru burst into a divine song:
Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught the listeners, how Nature’s tribute to the Creator was superior to any ritualistic oblation offered before images.
