All our occupational duties are perfected when it gives pleasure and satisfaction to the Lord. And how do we please the Lord? We please the Lord by pleasing His devotees, the great souls. And what pleases the great souls? When they see that whatever services we offer is without a desire for prestige or distinction, the great souls are pleased. To the degree our service is without ulterior motives for our own selfish acquisition, either gross or subtle, to that degree it is actually pleasing the devotees, and thus pleasing to the Supreme Lord.
