Sultanpur Lodhi to Eminabad: 128km

In Eminabad, news of Guru Nanak’s arrival spread quickly, and the townsfolk vied to host him. Malik Bhago, a wealthy official, prepared a lavish feast, yet the Guru chose instead the humble home of the carpenter Bhai Lalo.

Shocked and offended, Malik summoned him and demanded why he favoured a poor labourer over a man of stature. Calmly, Guru Nanak took a morsel of Bhago’s food in one hand and Lalo’s bread in the other. When he gently squeezed them, blood dripped from Bhago’s rich fare, while milk flowed from Lalo’s coarse bread.

“Lalo’s food is earned through honest labour,” said the Guru, “while Bhago’s is stained with the blood of the poor.” The growing divide between wealth and want reminds us of this timeless truth: true prosperity lies not in riches, but in honesty and compassion.
