Service, seva — again and again... The purest teaching — love in action. And the main teaching of Srila B.A. Paramadvaiti Maharaj.
Service gives the highest pleasure, raises consciousness, purifies the mind, clears karma, and yields freedom and immortality; it's how to control the mind, step out of maya/illusion, make spiritual progress, and how to approach The Sentient Absolute/Krishna — the only way. And it's how to play, eternally.

By service is here of course meant service to Krishna/the Spiritual Master/the devotees/the temple. Everyone is serving, this is the nature of the soul - nobody can not serve. But service to MAYA does not yield any of the above mentioned...
