One should not aspire any fruit from God in return for his service to Him

God in human form as Lord Krishna asked Dharma Raja ( a devotee of God) to tell a lie and God tested him whether he can sacrifice the bond with justice for God. In this case Dharma Raja acknowledged Krishna as God already. But, for him, justice is above God and so he has limited real love to God. God is also pleased with him but the pleasure of God was also limited in giving the fruit. Saktuprastha ( a devotee who sacrificed the food to the Lord in human form even though he was in complete starvation for several days together) got Brahma Loka for his unlimited real love, where as Dharma Raja got the temporary heaven for his limited real love.

Therefore, the unlimited real love can give bliss to the Lord and the Lord will in return also loves you in unlimited manner. If the devotee can violate anybody and anything including the justice for God, God will also violate anybody and anything including His own constitution of justice for the sake of devotee.

If the devotee cannot violate certain bonds and justice, God also cannot violate the cycle of deeds for the sake of devotee. The quality and quantity of bread will be according to the quality and quantity of the flour used to prepare it. However, one should not concentrate on the bliss of God thinking that God will bless him in return.

The concentration on the bliss of God should be natural and spontaneous and really one should not aspire any fruit from God in return. If such idea is hidden in the devotee, God will keep silent after receiving the service without any reaction. The real color of the devotee will come out since God knows any secret hidden even in the subconscious state. One should not say such love is not possible. This is not correct. It is possible since such unlimited real love is seen in the case of the love of parents towards their child. You are working day and night for the sake of your child. At the end whatever is stored by your work is totally dedicated to your child. Here both these are the climax stages of Karma Sanyasa and Karma Phala Tyaga.
