Bhai Jagta Singh Ji Sewapanthi - A Biography

[.- Prabhjot Singh -.]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa

Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Guru Roop Sangat Jeo,

Just finished typesetting a beautiful biography of Bhai Jagta Ji Sahib written by Bhagat Singh 'Hira'. The book is actually available on panjab digi library but it cannot be downloaded, thought this pdf might be useful for those khojees and premis who like to read their books offline Heres an excerpt:

A low-caste, blind and shaggy hag approached Bhai Jagta for help. She was in rags and that even exceedingly filthy. Tresses of her matted locks were making her ugliness more clumsy. There was so much lousiness in her hair that the lice were creeping all round her body. Filth was coagulated in every pore of her skin. In brief, she was a gross figure of foulness and wretchedness.

She came and appealed to Bhai Jagta for help. In a shaky and wavering voice she said, "0' generous Baba ! I hear you own even those who on this earth are mean, sluggish and desolate people. I have none in the world to look after me. There is no one so unfor-tunate and miserable as I. My community, my kinsmen, that Is, all of my kiths and kins have deserted me in my this calamitous plight. Even my decayed and flimsy body has defied me. Every limb of mine has become defiant. 0' benevolent Baba ! after all, I have taken your shelter. For God's sake, 0' benign Master ! as is, you do help me."

Baba Jagta attended to her request generously, with a sympathetic heart. He got a nice cottage built for her in the vicinity of huts of low caste which were already in existence. He used to accomplish In person all her needful formalities of life. He himself washed her clothes, arranged for her bath, washed her hair, gently combed her hair and picked up Lice from her person. This became his daily routine. Moreover, he cooked for her the meals twice a day and scoured her befouled utensils. He. devotionally, carried on that service up to her end.

In fact, he was a philanthropist as he saw God in all. Everyone seemed to him the image of God. Hence, he was not serving a low-caste, ugly woman but in her he saw His Divine Master. Thus, he was arranging bath, cooking meals, feeding and pumicing the feet, not of an individual but of God.

To be brief, he saw God in all. For him every being was the image of God.
