JAGGA, BHAI

JAGGA, BHAI, a Khatrl of Dharni clan, was a devoted Sikh of the time of Guru Arigad. As he first waited upon the Guru, he said, “Show me the light, True Master. I have been to a yogi for guidance, but he would not instruct me until I renounce my home and family which I am unable to do. How shall I be saved?” The Guru, according to Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, spoke, “If you renounce the world to practise meditation and yet go to a householder begging for food, the reward for your endeavour must go to him who sustains you.

You should remain in the world toiling for your bread, serve others and remember God.” BhalJagga became a disciple and found happiness in hard work and virtuous living. Sec also, Varan Bhai Gurdas, XI. 15.
