Vidyapati and Ugna

[HKaur16]

I came across this Hindu story on Wikipedia and felt that it had a lot of similarities with Bhagat Trilochan Ji's story.

It is about a poet named Vidyapati who was an ardent devotee of Shiva therefore Shiva came to live with his devotee in the form of a servant named Ugna.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidyapati

So now I am a bit confused. Did Akal Purakh themself come to live with Bhagat Trilochan Ji as his servant Antarjaami? Or did Akal Purakh ji send someone as Antarjaami?

In simpler words, who was Antarjaami? And can someone also shed some light on the story of Vidyapati?

No one knows about this?

"Akal purkh" ji came HIMSELF "as "antarjami" ..source various kathas, mahapurkh bachans and books.........don't know about the other story.....

God is called antarjami that is the fact and the story of ugna and vidyapati is sheer out of respect(this is my belief) . Hard reality is that muslim invader came and destroyed so many temples and killed so many people, no avtar or anyone came to help. Guru Nanak ji bani is example it tells that people who called themselves Saints that time claimed that they will blind the enemy but nothing happened. Lodhi lost delhi and Babbar stood victorious. It is your way to look at things how you take these story, faith should enlighten you rather then it makes u blind. This discussion can go on, it is how other think.

I agree with that part. I was just trying to make sure there weren't any contradictions or anything.

Antarjami is the God that dwells within.

In the story, Antarjami is sent by God himself.

He is the God that dwells in the house, and in the same way it is the God or part of God that lives inside us.

In the story antarjami gave the condition that he shall not be spoken or slandered about behind his back. In the same way, we may choose to ignore the antarjami within us when performing bad deeds or slandering someone.

But antarjami always knows and is always present !!

The story should teach us not to do misdeeds as if antarjami is not watching or not there.
