In a class Srila Prabhupada explained what is required of us if we want to please Krishna and get His blessings. "We have to surrender. That will please Krishna. And without pleasing Him, You cannot see Krishna. You may have your eyes big, big eyes, but you cannot see Krishna. You have to please Him. That pleasing activity is bhakti.
"Without that bhakti, it means sitting down silently... 'No, no, I am chanting. I do not want to go out. I am busy.' This means excuse. What you will chant? You will think of money and woman, that's all. Just work. Go to sell books and work hard. That is wanted. Therefore we do not give that opportunity. My Guru Maharaja did not give this opportunity, and we are following the same principle. No opportunity of sitting idle. No, you must work. That will rectify. Yes."
