TEXT 51
आत्मादिस्तम्बपर्यन्तैर्मूर्तिमद्भिश्चराचरैः । नृत्यगीताद्यनेकार्हैः पृथक् पृथगुपासिताः ॥५१॥
ātmādi-stamba-paryantair mūrtimadbhiś carācaraiḥ nṛtya-gītādy-anekārhaiḥ pṛthak pṛthag upāsitāḥ
ātma-ādi-stamba-paryantaiḥ —from Lord Brahmā to the insignificant living entity;  mūrti-madbhiḥ —assuming some form;  cara-acaraiḥ —both the moving and the nonmoving;  nṛtya-gīta-ādi-aneka-arhaiḥ —by many varied means of worship, such as dancing and singing;  pṛthak pṛthak —differently;  upāsitāḥ —who were being worshiped.
TRANSLATION
All beings, both moving and nonmoving, from the four-headed Lord Brahmā down to the most insignificant living entity, had taken forms and were differently worshiping those viṣṇu-mūrtis, according to their respective capacities, with various means of worship, such as dancing and singing.
PURPORT
Innumerable living entities are engaged in different types of worship of the Supreme, according to their abilities and  karma , but everyone is engaged ( jīvera  ‘ svarūpa ’  haya — kṛṣṇera  ‘ nitya-dāsa ’); there is no one who is not serving. Therefore the  mahā-bhāgavata , the topmost devotee, sees everyone as being engaged in the service of Kṛṣṇa; only himself does he see as not engaged. We have to elevate ourselves from a lower position to a higher position, and the topmost position is that of direct service in Vṛndāvana. But everyone is engaged in service. Denial of the service of the Lord is  māyā .
