फल कारण सेवा करे , करे न मन से काम। कहे कबीर सेवक नहीं , चहै चौगुना दाम॥ 94॥
— Kabir
Meaning
Service is done for the sake of the result, not from the heart's desire for action. The Shayar says that a servant is not valued; what is desired is a multiple of payment.
Explanation
Kabir speaks here about the fundamental flaw in transactional relationships. He observes that service motivated by the expectation of reward, rather than pure heart desire, is inherently compromised. For Kabir, true devotion must be selfless; if a person's actions are driven by the desire for a multiple payment, they are merely calculating, not truly serving. It's a sharp reminder to prioritize genuine connection over monetary gain.
