Srila Prabhupada: “Practically everything depends on practice abhyasa-yoga-yuktena cetasa nanya-gamina (Bhagavad-Gita 8.8). Abhyasa-yoga means yoga practice. Practise it. The whole Krsna consciousness movement is a practice to learn how to transfer from one kind of consciousness to another. For that we require practice. Just like one man can run a few miles. I cannot run even one mile. The difference is, he has practice. The strength of the heart is increasing by practice. By practice everything can be attained. Life is short and it is so much disturbed. So how is it possible to practise? Therefore this one practice—chanting Hare Krsna and hearing—that is very nice and praying to Krsna: “Please give me strength.” “Hare,” “O energy of Krsna, o Krsna, I am fallen, I have no strength. Please accept me.” That’s all. I have no qualification. I am frail. I am trying, but I am failing. All these appeals should be made. And Krsna is all powerful, He can do everything.”
