Whatever he thinks, whatever he says, whatever he does is for the sake of the Lord alone and he has no selfish motive in any action. This characteristic of the highest Bhakti is mentioned in the Vedas too, for instance, in the mantra below- ''I have completely given my mind to you; sit like a king at the celebration of Yajna..." current
