The Relationship of the Soul is the Only True One, As Opposed to that of the Body (Sharir-na Sambandh Karta Aatmano Sambandhaj Kharo Che):
One day (He) said that Chaturbhuj Shekhar, a Saraswat Brahman was Shri Gusaiji’s sevak. One day Akbar praised him. At that time Birbal said that he is actually my servant, why are you praising him ? Akbar asked Chaturbhuj Shekhar.. “have you served birbal?” and to this he replied that he has never served anyone except Prabhu.
Vivechan – A bhakt may do the service in order to maintain his body or living/livelyhood (Urad poshan ke nirvah maate), but his soul only serves and is the servant of Prabhu. For the sake of social pleasantries a bhakt may have relationships in many places, but the relationship of the soul is only with Ishwar. His speech sings glories of Prabhu. Dayaram bhai also had the same discipline (pratigya) , only to sing glories of Prabhu and of no one else.
