One should become an unalloyed devotee of the Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, and serve Him with rapt attention.
Prabhupada: Yes. (laughter) [break] ...a small garden like this, that is called a hanging garden.
Tamala Krsna: Yes, we can walk there in the mornings.
Prabhupada: Hm.
Bharadvaja: Srila Prabhupada, chanting Hare Krsna is considered to be the watering process, and sometimes from chanting, the weeds, from watering, the weeds also grow along with devotional service -- the weeds of different desires. I don't understand how it is possible that from chanting that these weeds grow.
Prabhupada: Chanting is purifying all material desires. It will take, gradually. Ceto-darpana-marjanam [Cc. Antya 20.12]. If you are chanting without any offense, then your heart will be cleansed of all material contamination. Harer nama [Cc. Adi 17.21].
Bharadvaja: So pulling out the weeds means avoiding the offenses in chanting the holy name.
Prabhupada: Yes. So long we'll have material desires, we'll have to accept a material body and fulfill the desires.

Serve krsna's senses through ones senses, thought-words-deeds like Pure gold not 18 kt or 20 kt gold.
(Gold alloys containing copper are red or pink in color and may be used for contrast in jewelry. The addition of silver to gold to form an 18 kt. alloy gives a greenish color to the gold.")
"serve Him with rapt attention" means to sincerely serve with care and be attentive to details in the execution of devotional service to make it unalloyed.
When we are watering Bhakti Lata creeper we are also watering the weeds. These weeds look like bhakti therefore we have to be very alert in identifying these weeds and timely removing them.
