While there is opportunity through devotion, service is not futile. Shayar Kabir asks why one should seek the divine, as the Self (Dev) resides within.

The couplet suggests that while devotion offers a path, selfless service remains profoundly meaningful. Kabir advises that the divine self is not an external entity to be sought, but rather resides within our own being. True devotion and dedication are the keys to realizing the inner divine.**
