The succession of 1539
Seclusion at Mai Bhirai's house
After the founder's passing, Guru Ji withdraws into a locked room until Baba Buddha brings him out.

The Mahima Prakash, as the Encyclopaedia reports it, says that Guru Ji did not go back to his own home at Khadur. He went instead to the house of Mai Bhirai, an old family friend, shut himself in a room and stayed there in deep meditation.
When Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji had passed away, the Sikhs came looking for their new leader. Bhai Buddha led them to the room and persuaded Guru Ji to come out and take up his duty to the sangat.
