As for the great devotees, they are severely tested, but they pass the test. Krishna will never give a devotee a test that he cannot pass, but for the pure devotee Krishna may give a very severe test, but He does that to glorify his devotee.

We should not think that the temple is the place designed to facilitate *my* desires. We are supposed to be cultivating the consciousness that we are eternal servants of Krishna--not that Krishna is meant to serve me.

Our connection with the Holy Name is our connection with Krishna. If our connection with the Holy Name and with Krishna is non-different, then that’s an eternal connection. We are eternal servants of Krishna: jivera svarupa haya—krsnera nitya-dasa (CC Madhya 20.108).

Sacrifice means to perform a sacrifice for the benefit of others. And it also means that their lives are also meant to be a sacrifice. Household life is a sacrifice. It's voluntarily accepting this sacrifice to live together for a period of time throughout your life and to perform your responsibilities and duties as householders together.

One can dovetail the propensities of others in Krishna's service only if he is detached, because then he can take their service and offer it to Krishna; but if he is attached, he will think “I will take their service and will offer it to my attachments."
