The fruit of honest labour

Eminabad is an old town, located 15 kilometres south of Gujranwala, in Pakistan. Guru Nanak Dev performed four great journeys, and on his very first one, he spent nearly one year in this town.

The richest person in town was Malik Bhago, and despite his desire, the Guru did not stay with him. Instead, he chose as his residence an area laid with pebbles and stones. A small congregation had started to form, and Bhai Lalo, a poor leather maker, also joined the Guru. He would get food from his humble kitchen, and Guru Nanak would happily partake of it.
