MALO
Bhai Malo and Bhai Mango were two seekers of knowledge, who visited Guru Nanak for a discourse. They asked the Guru to explain if tap (penance) was better that devotion. Guru Sahib told them, “Tap, as it is commonly understood, involves austerities, which are of no avail. Real Tap is joining sangat (religious gathering) and listening to or performing Keertan and Katha of the Scripture.” Bhai Malo and Mango dedicated their lives to Keertan and Katha as per the instruction of the Guru.
MALO SHIEKH
Sheikh Malo was a Muslim scholar. Once, he visited Guru Nanak at Kartarpur. He was so impressed by the Guru that he joined the Sikh faith and became Bhai Malo. He spent the rest of his life in the service of the Guru.
