Explanation:
Guru Ram Dass, the fourth Sikh Guru, had several disciples. Every disciple remained busy doing his duty. One of the disciples war Arjun Dev. His particular quality was that he devotedly kept himself busy with the duty assigned to him. Ever since he became the Guru’s disciple, he was given the work of scrubbing the utensils.
Other disciples used to ask him, “Arjun Dev you are always busy in cleaning utensils, you should serve the Guru also sometimes.”
Arjun Dev replied, “This work of cleaning the utensils, I do with Guru’s orders.”
They said, “But only cleaning the utensils does not comprise the whole service. The Guru will not be pleased in this manner.”
Arjun Dev said, “I do not try to please the Guru. My duty is to obey him.”
The other disciples were quiet. They though, it was wasting time to advise him.
