Methods of performing devotional service are Sravanam, Kirtanam, Smaranam, Archanam, Vandanam, Padasevanam, Sakhyam, Dasyam and Atmanivedanam.
Out of which Sravanam or listening is the easiest. I would suggest you get some Prabhupada mp3s Bhagavadgita lectures or morning walk conversations.
We have been brain washed by the society into materialism and selfishness.
Na te viduh svartha-gatim hi visnum [SB 7.5.31]
Our selfish only must lie in the benefit of Lord Vishnu.
we need to consciously brainwash ourself into Krishna Consciousness.
A gnani has a lot of questions, why Krishna did that or this. Questions are never ending and it give him mental stimulation. The minute someone asks a question he doesnt know, immideately sinks into doubt.
A bhakta on the other hand loves what ever Krisha does. He does not judge Krishna or Krishna's Passtimes.
or question the glories of the Holy Names.
You have a great question, my answer is "listen to Srila Prabhupada's lectures" over and over. I like to listen to Prabhupada even when I am sleeping.
I will give you one more step,
Follow the instructions of our Spiritual Masters & Acharyas,
by simply following the instructions of Caitanya Mahaprabhu,
Cheto Darpana Marjanam.... Vijayate Sri Krishna Sankirtanam.
You must perform Sankirtana,
Performing Sankirtana is the beginning of Krishna Consciousness, at least in our Vaisnava Sampradaya.
That is the 1st instruction of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
