A servant does not use the objects to be used by his master. So when Ramchandraji slept on the floor, Bharatji dug the earth to a depth of ‘one hand’ and slept. And even Shivji does not use the objects that are meant for God.1 Also, the difference in association (between a God-realized Sadhu and worldly people) was described – that one detaches people from worldly objects and the other joins them to worldly objects. Footnotes: 1. 1. After Ravan abducted Sitaji, Ram Bhagwan became hysterical. Parvatiji decided to test Ram Bhagwan, but Shivji told her not to. Nevertheless, Parvatiji took the form of Sitaji and went to Ram Bhagwan. She thought Ram Bhagwan would be extremely pleased but the opposite occurred. Ram Bhagwan instantly recognized her and questioned, “Parvatiji, why are you here alone? Where is Shivji?” Parvatiji was embarrassed and returned to Shivji. Shivji asked what happened but Parvatiji concealed the incident. Shivji recounted the whole incident in meditation and realized what Parvatiji had done. Because Sati took the form of Sitaji, Shivji felt remorse and thought that he cannot love Parvatiji any longer since she took the form of Sitaji. He told Parvatiji that he could no longer accept her since she posed as his Ishtadev Ramchandraji’s wife. Therefore, for many years Parvatiji suffered the separation from Shivji. [Ram Charit Manas: Bal-Kand/48-55]
