People of Amritsar started praising Baba Ji and when the news reached to Guru Ji who was seated on the Akaal Takht, Guru Ji was not pleased. In the evening, when Baba Ji returned home, Guru Ji in a strict tone asked Baba Ji and gave him 2 choices. It was either Guru Ji leaves his body or Baba Ji does as a replacement to Mohan. Baba Ji did not utter a word and immediatly left. He laid down in a location south of Amrit Sarowar and left his body.
