| <big>'''[[Bhai Lalo's Honesty]]'''</big> After teaching people in [[Lahore]] to live honestly Guru ji returned to [[Talwandi]] to see his parents. Then after a short stay, he proceeded with [[Mardana]] his companion on a long journey to visit the sacred places of pilgrimage of the [[Hindu]]s. On the way they reached '''Bhai Lalo’s''' workshop at Saidpur presently known as Aimanabad in [[Pakistan]]. Bhai Lalo earned his living by '''honest work.''' Bhai Lalo 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.

| As the kitchen was supposed to be the most pure and clean place in a house, Bhai Lalo asked [[Guru Nanak]] to come there and have his meal. Guru ji said ''“Bhai Lalo, every place is clean and pure for us. Please bring the meal here.”'' 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 [[Bhai Mardana]]. [[Guru Nanak]] replied ''“That was the taste of truthfulness and honesty that you tasted. This taste is above the taste of worldly delicacies.”'' <big>'''[[Bhai Lalo's Honesty|Continued….]]'''</big>
