Bhai Jaita, Nanda & Piraga Ji
Bhai Jaita, Nanda & Piraga Ji visited Guru Ji. They pleaded with folded hands, “Maharaj, please give us the sermon for liberation.” Guru Ji asked to control their sensory organs and always meditate on the name of Waheguru. When the mind does not seem to rest anymore with just Simran, read Gurbani instead and with this you shall attain Brahmgian. They practiced exactly this. A Brahmin then later told them that by not practicing the typical rituals, they are no longer pure. The Sikhs replied “ignorance has died in our house and Knowledge of one’s true self has taken birth instead. Guru Sahib has saved us from the cycle of birth and death.”

Bhai Tirloka Ji 
Bhai Ji came to Guru Sahib and pleaded “Maharaj you have instructed us to always recite the name of Waheguru and with this, one wouldn’t go to hell. Hearing this, the Pandits asked if this is really true why do people even go to hell because at one time or another, every person would’ve said Ram in their life.”
Guru Ji replied, “for sure everyone recites the name of God but most of them do not have faith in the name and their mind is not calm. Tell the Pandits this. When Bhai Mardana went to Kauda Rakshash, he tried to put Bhai Sahib in hot oil. Bhai Mardana remembered the sermon given by Guru Nanak Dev Ji and started doing Simran. The cauldron cooled down immediately; this is the power of Naam. Tell the Pandits this Sakhi and challenge them - if they say the name of God with full faith, bring a cauldron full of hot oil and you along with the Pandits would put your hands into the hot oil. Let the faith be tested once and for all.”
The Sikhs did exactly what Guru Sahib instructed and the Pandits did not show up. Their faith was tested in this manner where they failed.

Bhai Sai Das Jarhia 
Bhai Sai Das came to Guru Ji and said that his mind is not able to concentrate despite reading Shabad and performing Seva. Guru Arjan Dev Ji answers, “At least now you are able to track your mind. Before, you did not realise where your mind flickered. You will need to control your mind just like how one tames a wild horse.”
