  5. BhaiLalo's honesty -> kiratkarni After teaching people in Lahore to live honestly, Guru ji returned to Talwandi to see his parents. Then after a short stay, he went with Mardana his friend on a long journey to visit the sacred places of pilgrimage of the Hindus. On the way they reached BhaiLalo’s workshop at Saidpur.

  6. BhaiLalo earned his living by honest work. BhaiLalo was nearly seventeen years older than Guru Nanak. When Lalo saw two holy men coming towards him, he put aside his work and spread a bed for them and went to get some lunch for them.

  7. BhaiLalo asked Guru Nanak to come there and have his meal. So the meal was brought out and Mardana then divided it into three parts and they all ate it together. “This meal tastes like nectar. What has been put in it?” asked BhaiMardana. Guru Nanak replied “That was the sweet flavour of truthfulness and honesty that you tasted. This taste is above the worldly tastes.”

  8. One day MalikBhago, a high government official of the city, gave a general feast. He invited Guru Nanak too. Guru ji refused the invitation saying, "We are fakirs(poor), what have we to do with your feast?" On being asked a second time, Guru Nanak took BhaiLalo with him and went to MalikBhago’s house. With great anger MalikBhago said to Guru ji, “You are dishonoringKshatriyas by eating dry chapaties in the house of a low caste carpenter. My feast will offer you delicious food. Why do you refuse to eat it?”

  9. Guru Nanak took BhaiLalo’s dry chapati in his right hand and Malik Bhago’s fried sweet pancake in his left hand. When he squeezed the right hand the people present there saw drops of milk dripping from it. And when he pressed the left hand with the MalikBhago's fried pancakes, everyone saw blood trickling from it.

  10. “Look MalikBhago, wealth gathered by cruelty and corruption towards the poor is like sucking their blood which you have done. You had invited me to partake of blood, leaving food pure as milk. How could I accept it?” said Guru ji. MalikBhago was silent then. BhaiLalo on the other hand was the symbol of honesty and hard work. So according to Guru ji it’s better to earn little money with honesty than to amass a huge wealth by tricky and unkind means. BhaiLalo was blessed by Guru Ji to spread the message of Naam. He became a spiritual Sikh and preached the Guru's teachings to the people of Saidpur.
