A true paik guards the people and their lineage, and cuts the outsider at the root, destroying the wicked. That one supreme paik is the leader of all paiks, whose entire bhav is for the Master's work alone. For one to whom the body is as grass and gold is as stone, there is no separation between that paik and the Swami. Without trust, a paik has no value at all; words spoken falsely are mithya, they are nothing. Says Tuka, the Master should never be diminished. The paik who tends to the Master, the Master tends to in return.
