Chapter 46 mentions that for a true devotee, even Brahman-realization serves like a maid-servant. Can you elaborate on what this means in the context of the chapter's teachings on devotion?

📖 Chapter 46

This profound statement in Chapter 46 highlights the supreme status of loving devotion ('Bhakti') to the Guru. The chapter explains that when a devotee performs their devotion with heart and soul, they gain control over Peace, Detachment, and Fame. The text posits that such a devotee lacks nothing. The line that 'Brahman-realization serves like a maid-servant' and that 'no one asks for liberation' means that the state of pure, selfless devotion is considered even higher than the goal of liberation itself. As Chapter 46 teaches, the bliss and completeness found in loving service and surrender to the Guru are so fulfilling that even the highest spiritual goals become secondary, willingly serving the devotee who is immersed in this supreme love.
