Week 2 · The Gurus · Day 9
Guru Nanak & honest bread
On his travels, Guru Nanak showed that honest bread — earned by hard work and shared freely — is sweeter than a feast taken unfairly. The same lesson as Kirat Karni, told as a story.
Today's idea
Guru Nanak chose the simple, honest meal over the rich, dishonest feast.
