Everyone serves a purpose . It is said in the Vedas , if we do not want to serve purposefully in the higher realms, then we must serve somewhere . If we look at material nature and the living beings within it , everything and everyone are closely related and interactive . One part of nature or one living being is dependent on another .
Srila BR Sridhar Swami would say its better to serve something superior than to be an artificial master of something inferior.
In the world of illusion people think themselves masters , but in their own way they are also serving a purpose .The purpose of a high court judge is to inflict punishments , he serves by inflicting misery for the criminally minded . Much misery in the material world is caused by other living beings , so karmic synchronicities play out in many unseen ways .
Service is bliss when carried out to the master of the senses , Krishna, the Vedas say , and Krishna Himself is very expert at reciprocating any service offered to Him .He is so expert that to increase services and bliss He mysteriously and occasionally does not reciprocate . The trancendental reasons for intensifying relationships within the spiritual world are ultimately to intensify loving exchanges of spiritual emotions .Service means love , that’s its origins and the original meaning of performing service .In the material world, the original service mode becomes somewhat perverse by selfish motives for a service .Business deals are absent in the spiritual realms. The Srimad Bhagavatam makes these matters clear , as well as describing service to Divinity
