Bhai Lalo and Malik Bhago
Nanak chose to stay with Lalo, a poor carpenter, instead of the wealthy official Malik Bhago. When challenged, Nanak squeezed Lalo’s coarse bread, and milk flowed out (honest labor); he squeezed Bhago’s rich food, and blood dripped out (exploitation). He taught that God resides in honest work.
