Sat Sri Akal:

This is a Katha/Sakhi of Raja Hari Chand (seen favorably by Sikhi beacuse of his being a religious person) and his wife, who would get up to go to Sangat for worship.

Thanks.

But i didn't still understand whats ment by:

The queen reached the holy congregation and the King lifted one of her sandals from there (so that he could prove the infidelity of the queen).

what i mean is like how does lifting one of her sandals prove the indefidelty of the queen.

Sat Sri Akal:

So, you are like a King...you wake up in the middle of the night and you see your wife gone. You become royally enraged, thinking she went off with the gardner or something. You follow her the next night when she slips away and take one of her sandals with you, thinking that you will shock her by presenting her that sandal when she returns to the palace. Your queen, however, right when she is about to leave, concentrates her mind upon the congregation one last time and the Almighty causes the sandal to become two. Upon returning to you, you note that your queen is wearing a pair of sandals, and it dawns upon you that your queen is a Bhagat, not a cheat.

Lift here means to steal...this is probably written by a Brit or an Indian, cause the Americans usually do not use lift to mean steal.
