In the material world there are endless

distinctions and value judgements to be

made in the course of one`s life.

A devotee, however, sees Lord Krishna

within everything and everything

within Lord Krishna, remaining humble,

simple and blissful in the service of Lord Krishna.

One should give up the troublesome burden

of material piety and directly take to the

loving service of Lord Krishna,

in which everything is simple.

Devotional service,

based on hearing and chanting
the glories of Lord Krishna,

directly engages the devotee

in loving service and thus is the

most efficient means of achieving the Lord.

When pure devotional service

to Lord Krishna is available to the devotee,

attraction to other processes is certainly

a deviation in his devotional career.

The path of self-realization depends

upon clear intelligence,

and the easiest way to acquire

such expertise is to surrender

to Lord Krishna.

The material senses are engaged in

gratifying the concoctions of the mind,

causing many types of material desires

to become prominent, one after another.

But if we constantly engage in the devotional

service of Lord Krishna by hearing and chanting

His transcendental glories with firm faith,

then we will get relief from the

harassment of material desires.

When a devotee achieves steadiness

in devotional service, feeling transcendental

pleasure at every moment in the execution

of his loving service to Lord Krishna,

the knot of false identification is pierced

and all his misgivings are cut to pieces.
