They Aim to Please: Dimensions of Service on the Path of Bhakti-yoga – Steven J. Rosen (Satyaraja Dasa)
Those who are spiritually advanced love to serve others. Bhakti-yoga, the path of devotional mysticism, in fact, is all about devotional “service.” This refers, chiefly, to serving Krishna, God (call Him/Her what you will), in a mood of love and devotion.

Have faith in Krishna’s plan
