Hare Krsna
Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Sacrifice for Krishna comes when we are willing to sacrifice all those things that Krishna doesn't like.
When we love someone we are willing to sacrifice all those things which that person doesn't like.
Similarly why say I love Krishna, I love God when we are not willing to make sacrifice of things that Krishna doesn't like.
When we are willing to do positive service to Krishna through chanting his names, through reading his books, through serving his devotees, through serving his diety, through talking about him to others then we can say that we love Krishna. That is what love means. Singing songs does not give bhakti, singing song does not give love. Love means sacrifice, love means service.
Here is Krishna, who loves his devotees Arjuna so much that Arjuna is willing to serve Krishna, Arjuna is willing to make sacrifice for Krishna and in return Krishna is willing to make sacrifices for Arjuna, Krishna is willing to serve Arjuna.

all glories to srila prabhupada..accept my humble obeisances..
you said ...."Singing songs does not give bhakti, singing song does not give love...."
what type of songs u r talking about ? if it is devotional songs... i think they must come under devotional service category. then that is also service.. and i heard some wr else that lord likes his songs. i think narada muni said lord likes to sit with his devotees who sings his songs.. even narada maharshi also always glorifies lord through his songs..
then how come u say singing lord's songs does't give bhakti/love for him??
i didnt get u prb..plz explain this ignorant fellow..
no offense plz..
your servant
Thank you very much
