The Devotional Servitors
The sight of devotees immersed in the love for the Lord would send them into rapture, saluting, serving, being humble, talking sweet words and enjoying their company, these devotional servitors follow them like the calf that follows the cow. If they witness the worship of the Lord anywhere, the sheer force of their love for the Lord in their hearts, they see bliss, feel bliss, praise bliss and worship this bliss. Blessed are the others to see these greatest devotees! Wherever they see the three-eyed Lord or His servitors, they perform involved worship. They have taken refuge at the feet of Shiva, which is difficult for even Brahma and Vishnu, and their service is an offering at the floral feet of the Great Lord. They do not enter wombs again and their fame lasts forever! Enthused to hear the stories of Shankara, they love the Lord, devoting all their emotions to Him, their great love may not be known outside. Thinking of Lord Shiva, who stole their hearts, rejoicing in that feeling with stammering words and water falling from the eyes, they lose the consciousness of the external world, enjoying the bliss internally. Standing, sitting, lying, chewing, sleeping, waking, winking, walking or whatever they do, they never forget the Blissful feet - the only stable refuge for the unstable world. Let the flawless devotion of Baktharai Panivar stay in the mind.
