The main sail of a ship is steered towards the North Star and the pilot continues to look at the North Star. Similarly, we should look only at God, and there is no value in anything else. And whatever we do elsewhere, we do it laboriously as a bonded laborer. Pahele pujat gor jyu, prit kari man māy, Mukta kahe svārath sare, fer dārat dhro māy.1 So, when one keeps the company of God or his Sadhu, then worldly affairs will seem like hard labor.

Similarly, sustain the body while one lives (like the wheat is cultivated), but keep one’s focus on God only.
