The service to the Lord should be done according to the requirement and will of the Lord.
The message from Lord Shiva can be understood from the lives of the two divine incarnations of Lord Shiva, which are Anjaneya and Adi Shankara. The life of the human incarnation is always the message of God. Anjenaya did personal service of the Lord in human form and Adi Shankara did the social service through the propagation of divine knowledge. In fact, social service is also the personal service of the Lord since this entire world is His family only as He is the divine father of all the souls (Aham Bija Pradah pita…Gita). The family of the Lord like Sita, Lakshmana etc., is nothing but the inner most circle of the family of the God which consists of liberated souls. Hence, the service in both the ways is the personal service of the Lord.
Therefore, the service to the Lord should be done according to the requirement and will of the Lord. In whatever manner the Lord is pleased, that should be the path of your service because the ultimate aim of the service is only to please the Lord. You can become near to the Lord by doing the possible service but from the circle of the near devotees one becomes dear to the Lord by doing the service desired by the Lord.
