Hey everyone!
I had a question about this path that I have embarked on and I was wondering if it is service to others (I'm a noob). Basically it is consciously (in the beginning it's consciously but hopefully I pass that to subconsciouly when I get better) doing things for the creator.
For example, this is something I would consciously tell myself and believe:
"I am eating this food because I love the creator and want to live to love Krishna."
"I am studying for my physics exam because I see Krishna in everything and I want to get a good job to help His children who are also him too."
"Thank you Krishna for helping me get a B on my exam."
As a side note: I view the pantheistic creator as Krishna because it helps me with devotion and love towards the creator, and this path is also called bhakti yoga.
Is saying things like that actually service to others or does it just increase faith?
