Nanak went to Kaaba: he was tired. When he reached the mosque, and he just put down his small bundle, whatever it was, and went to sleep. The priest was furious because his legs were toward the holy stone, so he dragged him out and said, “What foolishness are you doing here? You do not know even this much respect — that the legs should not be towards the holy stone. Are you an atheist?”
Nanak’s sleep was broken. He is sitting. He says, “Put my legs in that direction where God is not, and do not disturb me.” There is no direction where God is not, because the direction itself is divine, existence is divine. But you must be open to it.
