Svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt.
Devotional service even done very little, it is not lost.
So the temple means to give chance to everyone, even to the child, to advance one step to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. One step. Svalpam apy asya dharmasya trāyate mahato bhayāt.
Devotional Service to the Lord is the Ultimate Goal of Life
In every chapter of Bhagavad-gītā, Lord Kṛṣṇa stresses that devotional service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the ultimate goal of life. (BG 18.1)
Even little is accepted and is done, it becomes into account. Just like if you deposit even two annas in the bank, it is kept on your account. It will increase with interest. Similarly, devotional service even done very little, it is not lost.
Fortunate to do Seva (Pure Devotional Service)
”It is your good fortune that you can serve Krishna in so many ways — to work, to write, to speak, to paint, to build — all of these talents must be employed in Krishna’s service. That will make you perfect. (Srila Prabhupada Letter, November 12, 1968)
To give this fortune
Should I learn something new to do Seva?
“So our this movement is based on practical activity. Whatever talent you have got, whatever little strength you have got, education you have got… You haven’t got to learn anything. Whatever you have got, in whatever position you are, you can serve Krishna. (Srila Prabhupada Lecture, Mayapur, March 1, 1977)
How Can I Do Seva?
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.22.35):
etāvaj janma-sāphalyaṁ dehinām iha dehiṣu prāṇair arthair dhiyā vācā śreya-ācaraṇaṁ sadā
It is the duty of every living being to perform welfare activities for the benefit of others with his life, wealth, intelligence and words.” This is the mission of life.
