Everything is big for a devotee.

Gopinath Acharya das : One time Srila Prabhupada was sitting on his vyasasan and there was a need for somebody to do the guru-puja in the morning. So I busied myself going about doing the aratik to Srila Prabhupada. So one thing that really struck me was that Srila Prabhupada was taking a lot of attention about what I was doing and how I was offering and cleansing my hands and doing the whole aratik. He was always looking over. Normally you would think that somebody of Srila Prabhupada's status who had been offered aratik so many times wouldn't be taking much notice. But as we know, Srila Prabhupada took notice of everything. One time he said when somebody had said to Srila Prabhupada, "Oh, that's no big deal" or "It's nothing big," Prabhupada said, "Everything is big for a devotee."
