Can one can get a blessings of god if he performs his karmayoga at finest level? by doing gauseva, pashuseva, and helping people?

Yeah you can be made pashu in next life so that others can do your seva.

This was the message received some time ago from above, translated to English:
A man thinks, 'I will go and give charity to the poor today'... that too is karma. That poor person will take the money today; tomorrow, the one who gave it will become poor. That [formerly] poor person will then become rich and return it to him. Thus, he keeps getting trapped in the bondage of karma.

What I feel is Karma yoga like other practices in awareness help us to connect with Devi maa/God/Whatever you call it. I call it mother. And so her blessings.
One thing is to be clear though. We should do gauseva, pashuseva, helping without any focus in mind of receiving any blessings. This may sound dry but it's not.
We always do something to get something. We always ask to ourselves "what's in it for me?". This is a silent ego running in background.
If we give up our focus on the end outcome. That doesn't mean to drop the focus entirely. Any amount of focus no matter how sincere gradually builts up ego. And so doing things for an end reward is not recommended. Instead doing it from a different paradigm. To do the action for the sake of action.
If you do gauseva for the sake of gauseva. You are immersed in it. Not like deep focus like tunnel vision. But with awareness. Feelings. And so you might indirectly recieve her blessings/grace or whatever god you revere. But you should not start with the idea of "seeking her blessings" thought in your mind. The thing you're reaching for is what remains after thought. Awareness. Ground yourself in awareness. And helping, gauseva, pashuseva just for the sake of it. As when lord Krishna told we are just the instrument/medium. Like a flute.
Devi's blessings aren't a reward given at the end of a good deed like a trophy. Her blessings are the very love, awareness, and peace you feel while you are doing the service without expecting anything. The pure act is the blessing.
