...The keeper of the Kaaba – a sacred building in Mecca – one night discovered that the Guru was sleeping with his feet towards the Kaaba. It was time for prayer so he informed the priest that a pilgrim was committing a great sacrilege by turning his feet towards the house of God. The incensed priest rushed to where the Guru was sleeping.
"Wake up, you stupid fool," he screamed, "and rub your face on the ground and beg to be forgiven for turning your feet towards the house of God."
The Guru did not move, but quietly said, "Turn my feet towards the place where God does not dwell."
The priest could no longer control himself and ordered the keeper to take Nanak by the feet and turn him around in the other direction. The doorkeeper obeyed but whichever direction they turned his feet the Kaaba turned with them. The priest stood spellbound. He saw that the house of God was in all directions.
The Guru rose and looked at the priest with eyes full of compassion. "Your eyes have been opened for just a moment," he said. "Don't forget what you have seen. All space is nothing but God's dwelling place."
