Saen Bhagat

When Saen heard the greatness of Bhagat Kabir he got motivated to became the second follower of Ramanand. He used to meditate with sadhus at night and would go serve in the king’s palace during the daytime. He was the kings massager.

But one evening saints came over to his house and kept doing kirtan all night and throughout the next day. They lost track of time and Saen didn’t realize he had to go to work the next day.

Seeing Saen still engrossed in meditation, Akhalpurkh intervened and took form as Saen and headed off to the palace. Akalpurkh(as Saen) gave the king the massage of his life and made him feel better than he had ever felt before. All his pains went away and every ailment was healed.

When the sadhus left Saen’s house he realized he had missed work. He worried that the king would punish him. Fearing that his imminent end may be near he walked towards the king’s palace in deep thought about what to tell the king.

As Saen neared the palace walls, the king saw him and rushed out to greet him. He had never seen the king so happy. The king went on and on about how Saen had cured him of everything and he had never felt that great his entire life.

In front of everyone the king took off his robe and put it on Saen. No one was more shocked to see this than Saen. Saen put two and two together and decided to serve the one who had saved his honor.
