Guru Angad woke up in the early morning. He was thirsty, and he asked his sons to bring him water, but they said that it's raining outside and we would have to go to the lake to get water. Bhai Amar Das saw this happen, and he felt the need to serve his Guru. He went outside during the great storm to bring the Guru some water.
Amar Das ji rode to meet the True Guru. The Guru and Amar Das ji were related and Amar Das ji was a couple decades older. When Amar Das ji saw his saintly face, instead of hugging the Guru, Amar Das ji fell on his knees and said, "Please don't consider me your relative and don't even consider me your elder. Just take me as a student and show me the right path!" Amar Das ji devoted himself to the Guru's service for the rest of his life.
A Sikh of Guru Amar Das ji named Bhai Sachan Sach was very devoted to the Guru. Outside of Goindwal there was a crazy woman who people thought was possessed by demons. Even though this woman had attacked Bhai Sachan Sach, the Guru told him, "Take my sandal, when she attacks you, simply touch her with it." Bhai Sachan Sach at first didn't want to, but he listened to his Guru.... then when he was in the jungle.... she attacked him....
Once there was a Sidh Yogi was becoming very old. Before his life came to an end he was blessed with a visit to Guru Amar Das. Guru ji granted him the blessing that he could be re-born in to the Guru's family. Soon the Guru had a grandson, that was the Yogi, and named him Anand. On the spot Guru ji recited Anand Sahib.
Once Guru Amar Das ji was in deep, deep meditation. His daughter, Bibi Bhani, saw that the platform he was on was going to break and he would be jolted awake when that happens. She put her hand in the way. Her hand got cut really bad. When Guru ji saw her pain and devotion he granted her a blessing. She asked that the Guruship always stay in her family line. The rest of the Gurus were descendants of Bibi Bhani and Guru Ram Das.
The great Emperor of India, King Akbar, went to go visit the Guru. Guru Amar Das Dev ji wouldn't see the visiting royalty until his guest had eaten in the Guru's langar. So this great ruler of the whole land sat along side all kinds of common people and ate langar. Emperor Akbar was impressed that the Guru served so many people, and was humbled that Guru Amar Das didn't consider anyone higher or lower.
