Bhagat Trilochan ji
God Comes to Serve
Bhagat Trilochan Ji had great love for saints and always welcomed them into his home.
So many saints began visiting that Bhagat Trilochan Ji and his wife found it difficult to serve everyone properly.
Bhagat Trilochan Ji prayed, “God, please send someone who can help us serve the saints.”
One day, a man came looking for work. He said his name was Antarjami, meaning “the Knower of Hearts.”
Bhagat Trilochan Ji happily kept him as a servant and told his wife:
“Feed him as much as he wants and never complain about his eating or speak badly about him.”
Antarjami served the saints with great love. He cooked food, brought water, washed their feet, and cared for everyone.
Antarjami also used to eat a lot, so Bhagat Trilochan Ji’s wife had to spend a great deal of time grinding grain and preparing food for him.
After some time, she became tired and complained to her neighbour:
“Our servant eats so much. I spend so much of my time preparing food for him.”
Antarjami was the Knower of Hearts, so he knew what she had said.
Because she had complained about him, Antarjami suddenly disappeared.
Bhagat Trilochan Ji became deeply sad when he could not find him.
He then realized that Antarjami was no ordinary servant — God Himself had come to help him serve the saints.
Bhagat Trilochan Ji turned even more deeply toward prayer and remembrance of God.
Message
Do seva with love and without complaining.
Do not judge someone by how much they take or what they appear to be.
When devotion and seva are sincere, God Himself can come close to the devotee.
