Gadhada Last Section Vach. 26 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

In the same way that services are offered to God, it is appropriate to perform services for a sant who suppresses the actions of Maya’s evolutes, i.e. the indriyas, antah-karans, etc., but does not allow himself to be suppressed by those actions; who only performs activities that are related to God; remains firm in the observance of the five vartmans; believes himself to be Brahm-roop; and has upasana for Lord Purushottam. Such a sant should not be thought of as being human. He should not even be considered to be like a deity. This is because such characteristics are not found in deities or humans. Such a sant is a human but still, he is worthy of being served in the same way that one serves God. Anyone who wishes to attain salvation should serve such a sant; and if a woman possesses those virtues of a sadhu, the females should offer services to her.
