Engaging everything in the service of the Lord!

Verse 1.5.33: As a continuation from yesterday's verse, Srila Narada muni is telling how one's miseries can be overcome. By spiritualizing our activity, any activity can be made to cause our liberation. Just using all activities in the service of the Lord.
Eg: Food that we eat, so much karma due to so much violence in it. But very same food, when offered to the Lord, this prasadam will be the cause of our liberation.

The best way to make the best use of a bad bargain is to use everything in relation with the supreme spiritual being. When everything is thus employed in the service of the Lord, we can experience that there is nothing except the Supreme Brahman. The Vedic mantra that "everything is Brahman" is thus realized by us.

A spiritual master is one such expert person, who knows how to engage everything in Krishna's service. We need to approach such a spiritual master and submissively inquire from him in this direction.
