Whom to serve?

This happened when Gandhiji went to England to attend a conference . But he was not allowed inside since he was not wearing proper clothes.
He returned home. Next year itself , he got an invitation to attend a conference in England. This time, Gandhiji was very conscious regarding his clothes.
On the day of conference , he wore formal dress and went to attend the conference. Conference went on smoothly.
After the conference, there was dinner arranged to everyone. Gandhiji went to dining room and sat on dining chair.
Dinner was served. There were lot of dishes to eat. Gandhiji started spilling all the dishes on his dress . Everyone were surprised.
Gandhiji replied " I was allowed to conference hall because of these clothes. These clothes must get all the treatment which is meant for me . "
Soon organizers understood what Gandhiji meant to say.
