Hare Krishna to all the devotees.
PAMHO. AGTSP. Srila Prabhupada said (apprx.) "Cry out to Krishna like a baby for its mother."
This means I need Him - its about MY need.
Yet we also say "Try to please Krishna's senses not yours."
So, if I'm screaming about MY needs (I need you Krishna), how is that "trying to please Krishna's senses?"
I guess the two (seemingly conflicting?) statements do not conflict if I know that
"Krishna wants me to come back to Him - so my needing Him is good. It means I am trying - so it pleases Him."
Thanks for any replies, Vijay

how Krishna loves His Devotees.
only all time try to chant mahamantra....all solution in it .....mother mohini devi dasi is correct....thre is many way but to attach with krishna ...but vaktiyog is best...it all time purifying our soul....to foot of krishna...like different river goes in many way but main aim to meet sea.
Hare Krishna Vijay Prabhu, please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Even if baby does not cry, mother still will take care of him or her.
But when he/she cries her help will come faster.
Same is with Krishna. If true He always cares for us. Freely gives us everything we need. Plus always remains with us in the form of Paramatma and Shyamasundar within our hearts.
The problem is we do not notice Him for billions of lives.
But His love is so much so that no matter how long He waits for us to notice Him and call for His mercy, take shelter of Him voluntarily.
Mother does not become morose when child cries and disturbs her with loud voice or so but she becomes morose that she could not come for help before child suffered.
So she is happy to help the child. She is happy to do anything for the child.
Same is with husband who loves his wife. He is ready to work hard, to go through many obstacles in life to protection for her. And by doing that he is not morose but becomes happier and happier.
It is the nature of the soul - service attitude.
And Krishna is Supreme Soul. So how much huge desire He may have for the service!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was happy to become the charioteer of Arjuna - His beloved friend.
He was happy to come all the way from Dwaraka to Hastinapur to protect the chastity of Draupadi....
So Krishna loves when we take shelter of Him. He is a Supreme Husband to all of us. You maybe a husband, so to some extent You may know how it would be nice if Your good wife depends on You, asks guidance from You...isn't it?!
And that quality in Krishna is unlimited.
Another thing is Krishna's happiness is our happiness. Lord Gouranga used to cry not for some sufferings but for the sufferings of fallen souls in material world. As like Shrimati Radharani protected a jackal who was beaten by village boys and who was weeping out of pain.
So mercy comes FASTER when we cry for it.
And Devotee cries for Krishna, as Prahlad Maharaj did, because he/she knows that by taking shelter of Krishna, by wishing to be with Him, by wishing to serve to Him I am making Him happier.
Devotee cries not for his/her own happiness. Devotee cries "please my Lord, accept me! Engage me in Your service!"
Devotee cries for a SERVICE!
And in age of Kali Yuga the BEST service is CRYING :) Crying the Holy Names -
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.
There is no other way!
Your servant,
