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

SPIRIT OF BHAGAVAD GITA
The spirit of Bhagavad-gita is mentioned in Bhagavad-gita itself. It is just like this: If we want to take a particular medicine, then we have to follow the directions written on the label. We cannot take the medicine according to our own whim or the direction of a friend. It must be taken according to the directions on the label or the directions given by a physician. Similarly, Bhagavad-gita should be taken or accepted as it is directed by the speaker Himself.

2. O heart, please worship the splendour that bears the name Radha, a splendour that with its crown fills the circle of the directions wit
If we also become enamored by the so-called scientists, politicians, and philosophers, then we cannot preach. We must definitely be convinced that they're all rascals.
