Servant-to-master relationship of devotion

But, was mostly lost in the human aspects of friendship and kinship and often strayed away from the devotion due to the Divine. He attained closeness to the Lord so easily that he failed to recognise the significance of the proximity that was awarded to him. They were such friends that addressed familiarly using the word. for 'brother-in-law.' This indicated only a human kinship; so, confirmed that relationship and justified that loose expression of familiarity when He brought about the marriage of with His sister ! So, even the attitude cannot be fully rewarding.
