When we sit in kirtan, we can shut out all the other lamps that light our path to the world—our fame, our money, our material attachments and desires, our plans, aspirations, inclinations, etc., and make this a time with Krishna.
One good practice that I always like to do is to imagine myself sitting before Krishna. It could be an altar, in a temple. It could be the spiritual world, as I have heard about it. And then I sing for Him and for Srimati Radharani, alone.
By spending this time alone with Krishna, in that consciousness, ‘I’m now with Them,’ so much benefit comes! So many good feelings melt the heart, so that the real desires, the real inclinations, and the real plans start to manifest automatically.
