Vidyapati and Ugna

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?

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.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
