Bhai Lalo

Bhai Lalo was born in 1452 at the village of Saidpur presently known as Eminabad (modern day Pakistan).

One day Malik Bhago, a high government official of the city, gave a general feast.

On being asked a second time, Guru Nanak Dev Ji took Bhai Lalo with him and went to Malik Bhago's house.

He is honest man and Guru Nanak Dev Ji praised him Guru Nanak Dev Ji took Bhai Lalo's dry roti in his right hand and Malik Bhago's fried sweet pancake in his left hand.

So according to Guru Nanak Dev Ji, it's better to earn little money with honesty than to amass a huge wealth by devious and crooked means.
