JALLO, BHAI


Bhai Jallo, a resident of Lahore, was a dedicated Sikh of the time of Guru Arjan Sahib. Guru Sahib had appointed him a Masand. He used to collect tithe and the other offerings from the Sikhs to be made away to Guru Sahib. He was known for his honesty. He believed that using even a single Kaudi (the smallest coin) out of offerings was like polluting one’s body and soul. He said that using even the smallest coin of the Sangat‘s money was like swallowing a fly, which would make one throw up whatever one has eaten. Besides it would make one’s body weak.
