Shri Gokulnathji's Hasya Prasangs - Prasang 8

Sevak should be obedient and intellegent (Sevak agnyakari ane viveki joiye):

A Purbi had kept a servant (ek purbiye chakar rakhyo hato), he was sent to the house of a doctor (tene vaidne gher mokalyo). He walked a few steps and returned, he said, sir, why do you keep breaking my legs (sending me) again and again ? -- (Saheb, mane vaaram vaar shaa mate pag todavo cho?) You are in such a condition that you are going to die eventually; so why do you keep sending me? (to the doctor)

Vivechan - From this one should understand that one should keep a servant
(sevak) knowing that the sevak will perform his duties keeping in mind Prabhu's happiness/comforts (tehel). One should not keep a sevak/servant who is rude and not mindful of who is the lord/master (sama bolvo na rakhvo). Secondly, we should not get tired of our sorrow and give trouble to (harass) someone else. With patience we should keep faith on our Lord (dheeraj thi prabhu par vishvas), we should tolerate the sorrows. Cultivate great tolerance as instructed in the Vivek-Dhairya-Ashray granth. Contemplating on the Navratana stotra will maintain peace.
