Re: Bhagats of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

The pandits used to touch the murti's mouth with the food and then take it back home for their own meal.

Innocent Dhanna did not know what the pandits did daily (typical idol worship). Dhanna, having complete faith within himself, believed that the offerings were indeed consumed by the murthis.

Almighty's Glimpse

Bhagat Dhanna fasted for 5 whole days without receiving the results as the Almighty did not appear. On the 6th day, observing Dhanna's strong faith and perseverance, the Almighty noted that Dhanna was indeed a true devotee. Letting him down would make the universe believe that prayers go unanswered and people might just abandon their prayers.

Dhanna Ji continued to wait with his eyes focused on the murthi. Within the hour, Dhanna Ji has a vision of Almighty eating the bread with makhan and drinking the lassi.
Dhanna Ji exclaimed, "My Almighty, you have come! You are eating my food!"

The Almighty ate the food and left very little of it as seit parshad and then said, "Dhanna, you may request for something. I am pleased with you."

Dhanna clasped his hands in prayer and said:

ਧੰਨਾ
धंना ॥
Ḏẖannā.
Dhannaa:

ਗੋਪਾਲ ਤੇਰਾ ਆਰਤਾ
गोपाल तेरा आरता ॥
Gopāl ṯerā ārṯā.
O Lord of the world, this is Your lamp-lit worship service.
