God is showing the means of realizing the supreme element. I sit in seclusion and achieve supreme unity with the supreme element, Paramatma, absorb that element deeply and assimilate it well, so that nothing obstructs me, for that I become completely supportless and dependent on His sole support, such is the intense desire of a seeker. That is called Vivikta-desha-sevitvam. Just as there is supreme Vivikta-desha-sevitvam for a strong seeker, similarly there should be Vivikta-bhavana-sevitvam. That is why Maharaj gave more to Vivikta-bhavana-sevitvam, to serve everyone but not to get bound anywhere.
