prabhu samarpila tanre svarupera hate
prabhura gupta-seva kaila svarupera sathe
gupta-seva -- confidential service
When Raghunatha dasa Gosvami approached Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri, the Lord entrusted him to the care of Svarupa Damodara, His secretary. Thus they both engaged in the confidential service of the Lord.
>>> Ref. VedaBase => Adi 10.92
Anyone, therefore, who takes shelter of the lotus feet of a pure devotee by accepting the pure devotee as his spiritual master can be at once purified. Such devotees of the Lord are honored equally with the Lord because they are engaged in the most confidential service of the Lord, for they deliver out of the material world the fallen souls whom the Lord wants to return home, back to Godhead. Such pure devotees are better known as vicelords according to revealed scriptures. The sincere disciples of a pure devotee consider him equal with the Lord, but the pure devotee always considers himself to be a humble servant of the servant of the Lord [Cc. Madhya 13.80]. This is the pure devotional path.
>>> Ref. VedaBase => SB 1.1.15
The special power to render the most confidential service is entrusted by the Supreme Personality of Godhead to a pure devotee, not to ordinary devotees.
>>> Ref. VedaBase => SB 9.21 Summary
Note:
In real life people like public service not gupta seva/confidential service.
People like to do propaganda of what they are doing but ideal way to serve is gupta seva.
