As we will become attached to services we like should we also take services we dont like?

My question is that if we do a service which we like to do then we will get attached to it and we will want to do it because we like to do it and not because we are going to serve Krishna. And to avoid such attachment is it better that also we take up some service which we don’t like to do? Yes.
For most of us life itself will take care of that. There will be enough circumstances which will make us do things which we don’t like to do. यस्मात् प्रियाप्रियव्योग सन्योगजनिमा शोकागनिना सकलयोणिश दहियमाहना Prahlad Maharaj in his prayers to Narasimha Dev said that the situation of this world is यस्मात् प्रियाप्रियव्योग सन्योगजनिमा There are certain things which are प्रिय which we like and there are certain things which are अप्रिय which we don’t like.
So he said what happens in this world is with the प्रिय we want सन्योग. We want to get the things which we like and we want to avoid the things which we don’t like. But life does the opposite.
It gives us the things which we don’t like and takes us away from the things which we don’t like. And therefore शोकागनिना सकलयोणिश दहियमाहना So all living beings are burning in the fire of lamentation because of this. And he says therefore, he said my lord please वदमे तवदास्योगम् Please instruct me that without being caught by my mind’s likes and dislikes please instruct me how I can serve you.
तवदास्योगम् So in general in the world there will come circumstances which will push us to do other services. So we can do them and we should not just do only the things we like to do. But it’s not that we need to necessarily go out of our way to do the things which we don’t like to do.
It’s like a simple example. When we take प्रसाद There is some प्रसाद item which we like more. Now we don’t have to worry too much that this item I like more.
If I eat it more it’s senseless. Yes if we eat too much that’s bad. But it’s not that because I like this प्रसाद item so I will not eat it.
Or because I don’t like this item so I will eat it. It’s not that we have to torture ourselves like that. So if we like something which is in the realm of devotional service it’s wonderful we can do it.
And if in the course of our living in a community while we are part of the community we are expected to do something which we don’t like to do. We can and should do that. Whether we need to go specifically out of the way to find such a service that will be needed.
If we are in a situation where we are constantly only doing the things which we like to do and then it’s good to find such a service. But the important thing is that we should always feel inspired in certain questions. And even if there is an attachment to the service that is still in that zone itself.
And over a period of time we will find that there is a very good book distributor he was telling me recently that he had some desire to get some experience in marketing before he got introduced to Krishna Consciousness. And then he came to Krishna Consciousness and started distributing books and he developed such flamboyance. The way he could approach people and talk with people and persuade people.
Then somehow after that he was initially a brahmachari and then he became a grahastha. And he thought I was a good book distributor, I will do marketing. Then he took a marketing job.
And then he was very good at marketing again. But he told me that the joy that I get in distributing Krishna’s books I don’t get even little of that joy when I sell my products for the company. Yes, actually you need to do it and he has to be good at it.
But over a period of time if we stay in the circle of doing what we like to do for Krishna then when we do it for someone else or for some material purpose we will find we won’t get that taste. And that itself indicates that our taste is getting sublimated. It is getting spiritualized.
So that will happen at a subconscious level also by the practice of bhakti. And attachment to a service in the stage of shraddha sadhu sangha bhajana kriya then there is nishtha, anarthanivrtti nishtha which is asakti, bhava and prema. So it is set at the state of ruchi and asakti.
One of the differences is in ruchi one is attached to the service. In asakti one becomes attached to the object of service. So that differentiation will happen gradually.
But we are just by a fact that we are doing service for Krishna by that itself the attraction to Krishna is awakened. So attachment to a service more than the attachment to Krishna that is not healthy but that is also a part of the progression of attachment towards Krishna. So how it is? The world is here.
The service is our connection to Krishna. And Krishna is here. So currently our attachment is to the world.
So now through service our attachment is meant to transfer to Krishna. But in the intermediate stage our attachment will be to ourselves. But that is the means by which our attachment is transferred.
So if we try to stop that then the transfer of attachment from the world to Krishna will also stop. And of course we also have the process of sadhna bhakti. If I like to preach, I like to give classes, I may just become attached to being a speaker.
But then I also have to chant. I also have to study shastras. There are other places where we are actually exposing ourselves to Krishna.
