In material world, the service is "small" or "big" depending on how your "master" views it...explicitly stating, it depends mostly upon your "yes sir" quotient. But in spiritual world, Krishna reciprocates as per "intensity of your devotion" in service rendered...He sees every service is important...in material world, your "master" exploits you for his own benefit, but in spiritual world Krishna need not exploit because everything belongs to Him...He just delivers His "mercy" "disproportionately" to your "devotion" (i.e. awards you spiritual happiness and benefits far far more than what you deliver to Him...not that He needs anything from you because He is complete in Himself and does NOT need anything external to be in state of ever-increasingly-happiness).Yamuna Devi, a pure disciple of His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktivendata Swami Prabhupada, loved serving the gorgeous Sri Sri Radha-Londonisvara Deities, and she loved her other variegated services in the temple and she says that " These were merely activities I fell into in the course of exploring the
culture and practice of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, which is what my life is
really all about." (Source: Yamuna Devi: A Life of Unalloyed Devotion: Part 1: Preparing an Offering of Love. Unalloyed Inc. Kindle Edition) . May all of us also get a realization like hers!
