Hare Krishna Dear Devotees,
How can i be dedicated in performing devotional service?
when i used to work on my business, because it was for my own sense gratification i used to work day and night
but now when i perform devotional service selflessly i feel as if i don't have any dedication, i sleep whenver i get an urge to sleep while reading or hearing or chanting
even if i think that i'm performing bhakti to attain love for Godhead still it doesn't really make me enthusiastic
Materialistic people have so much dedication in performing actions of sense gratification (there are many dedicated athlete, business owners in present day and from bhagvattam theres the example of hirankashipu)
How can we have same level of dedication in bhakti?

Hare Krishna,
There are 9 steps in bhakti
2. sadhu-sanga: association with devotees
3. bhajana-kriya: performance of devotional service
4. anartha nivrtti: decreasing of unwanted attachments
5. nistha: steadiness
6. ruchi: taste
7. asakti: attachment
8. bhava: love
9. prema: pure love for Krsna
Hare Krsna
How can we have same level of dedication in bhakti?
By being in association of devotees who have high level of enthusiasm and dedication for Krsna katha, Krsna seva, Krsna Kitan.
