At this, R. Yitzchak said: We find one greater than R. Gamliel and than Abraham, who served men. They: Who? R. Gamliel: The Shechinah, who at all times supplies food for all who enter the world in accordance with their needs, and sates all living things with good will. And not only men who are worthy and tzaddikim, but even evildoers, idolators! How much more so should R. Gamliel pay attendance upon sages and Torah scholars!
