Bhai Mali, a resident of village Dalla, was a dedicated Sikh of the time of Guru Amar Das. He was a tailor by profession. Once, when the Guru visited Dalla, he accompanied by Bhai Saharu, another tailor of his village, went to the Guru to make obeisance and asked him (the Guru) for some sermon. The Guru told them, “Mend the torn garments of the Sikhs. If some of these clothes are soiled, wash them. By this service you will cleans your soul and also earn the pleasure of God.”
