ਸਚਹੁ ਓਰੈ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਉਪਰਿ ਸਚੁ ਆਚਾਰੁ ॥੫॥
सचहु ओरै सभु को उपरि सचु आचारु ॥५॥
Sacẖahu orai sabẖ ko upar sacẖ ācẖār. ||5||
Truth is high but higher still is truthful living.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 62

Kartarpur, the village on the banks of the River Ravi in Pakistan is where Guru Nanak Dev ji settled after his long Udasis, journeys. It was here that he spent the last decades of his life with his wife, children and his Sikhs. Kartarpur was also where Guru Nanak Dev ji met Bhai Lehna ji. He appointed Bhai Lehna ji as the next spiritual leader of the Sikhs. Guru Nanak Dev ji proclaimed that Bhai Lehna ji will be called Angad, a part of the Guru’s body, henceforth was known as Guru Angad Dev ji.

Kartarpur became the centre for the Sikhs, where ‘Truthful Living’ was the essence of life.
