Bhagats of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Saints continued to come and go, while Antarjami continued to serve them diligently.
The saints were very pleased with Antarjami
and always praised him as a "bhagat" and "gurmukh'.
These praises brought along with it praises for Trilochan Ji and thw whole town came to know about it.
A year had passed since Antarjami came to Bhagat Trilochan.
One day, Bhagat Ji's wife was chatting with her neighbor.
Her neighbor asked, "Why do you look so depressed?
Your face used to look so radiant but now you are starting to look pale. What is the matter?"
Trilochan's wife said, "I do not know where to start.
I am growing old but the number of saints are growing.
I have to continuously grind the grains for flour. And also, my servant..."
She refrained herself from continuing further but her neighbour urged her to continue:
"Why did you stop. Please tell me, at least you will feel better."
Reluctantly, Bhagat Trilochan's wife continued: "But, Trilochan Ji has warned me not to tell anyone about this,
but because you are like a sister to me, I will tell you but you must not tell anyone.
Our servant is a real glutton, he eats tirelessly and I just can't cope with my cooking for him day and night.
My husband does not say anything to him. I am so fed up. To make matters worse, I am getting older.
If everything in the house is consumed by the servant, what will we eat in our old age.
When we are helpless and have no money in our old age, nobody will bother about us."
The neighbour added: "Bhagat Trilochan Ji is making a mistake; he should not employ such a servant.
Chase him out of the house and replace him with someone else."

As Trilochan's wife was so engrossed in the conversation, she lost track of time and it was already
late for her to cook dinner. She thought that the servant would have already started cooking.
But the servant was "Antarjami" (knower of all hearts) as such he had knowledge of the whole conversation.
He immediately left Trilochan Ji's house in accordance with his condition to Trilochan Ji.
He left the doors ajar and the house unattended.
He disappeared and returned to his original form - the Almighty Himself.
For days, Trilochan Ji searched for the servant but in vain.

One day while he was asleep, a voice cried: "Hey Trilochan, your servant, Antarjami
was indeed "antarjami", the Almighty himself. He came to give you his glimpse (darshan).
The Almighty came to you on the recommendation of Bhagat Namdev Ji."

Bhagat Trilochan Ji's hymn in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji explains:-

Upon hearing Bhagat Trilochan's sermons in the hymn above, his wife understood that life's joys and pains are brought about by man performing misdeeds instead of singing the praises of God. Thereafter, she was in bliss.

Many a time some hypocrite saint would come to Bhagat Trilochan. And Bhagat Trilochan would advice them:-

Thus Bhagat Trilochan kept on serving the saints till the end.
Four of his hymns are included in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji,
one each in Sri Raag and Dhanasari Raag, and two in Gujari Raag.

Bhai Gurdas Ji describes Trilochan Ji as follows:-

Vaar 10 Pauri 12 Namdev and Trilochan

ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੇਖਣ ਨਾਮਦੇਵ ਭਲਕੇ ਉਠਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਲੋਚਨੁ ਆਵੈ ।
darasanu daykhan naamadayv bhalakay utdi trilochanu aavai|
Trilochan awoke early daily just to have sight of Namdev,

ਭਗਤਿ ਕਰਨਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਦੁਇ ਜਣੇ ਨਾਮਦੇਉ ਹਰਿ ਚਲਿਤੁ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ।
bhagati karani mili dui janay naamadayu hari chalitu sunaavai|
Together they would concentrate on the Lord and Namdev would tell him the grand stories of God.

ਮੇਰੀ ਭੀ ਕਰਿ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦੇਖਾਂ ਜੇ ਤਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ।
mayree bhee kari baynatee darasanu daykhaan jay tisu bhaavai|
(Trilochan asked Namdev) “kindly pray for me so that if the Lord accepts,
I may also have a glimpse of His blessed vision.”

The Lord God smiled and explained to Naamdev;

ਹਥਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਭੇਟੁ ਸੋ ਤੁਸਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਲੋਚਨ ਮੈ ਮੁਹਿ ਲਾਵੈ ।
hadi n aavai bhaytu so tusi trilochan mai muhi|aavai|
“No offerings are needed by me. Out of my delight only, I would make Trilochan to have sight of me. "

ਹਉ ਅਧੀਨੁ ਹਾਂ ਭਗਤ ਦੇ ਪਹੁੰਚਿ ਨ ਹੰਘਾਂ ਭਗਤੀ ਦਾਵੈ ।
hau adheenu haan bhagat day pahunchi n hanghaan bhagatee daavai|
I am under the total control of the devotees and their loving claims I can never reject;
rather I myself also cannot understand them.

ਹੋਇ ਵਿਚੋਲਾ ਆਣਿ ਮਿਲਾਵੈ ॥੧੨॥
hoi vicholaa aani milaavai ॥12॥
Their loving devotion, in fact, becomes mediator and makes them meet me.”

the yeaning to attend such courses, to join us online here in SPN. We have Gyani Jarnail Singh Ji (online)
to assist us to further the discussion and answer your queries. There is no fees charged, it's free. You
