<p class="C1">&#65279BH&#256GO, MALIK, was, according to Sikh chroniclers, the Hindu steward of the Muslim chief of Saidpur, present-day town of Emin&#257b&#257d, now in Gujr&#257&#7749w&#257l&#257 district of Pakistan, during the days of Gur&#363 N&#257nak. The tradition relates that once while Gur&#363 N&#257nak was staying with Bh&#257&#299 L&#257lo, a poor carpenter, in the town, Malik Bh&#257go gave a feast to which Gur&#363 N&#257nak, along with other holy men and dignitaries, was invited. As the Gur&#363 declined the invitation, the Malik had him summoned to his presence and asked the reason for his refusal. Gur&#363 N&#257nak took into one hand a quantity of Malik Bh&#257go's rich food and in the other a piece of L&#257lo's coarse bread. He then squeezed both. From L&#257lo's bread trickled milk, and from Malik Bh&#257go's blood. The moral was clear. The rich man's wealth had been selfishly amassed at the cost of others and his charities were thus tainted, whereas Bh&#257&#299 L&#257lo's simple bread earned by honest labour was holy.</p>
