Jayapatākā Swami: You see there is the verse hṛṣīkeṇa hṛṣīkeśa-sevanaṁ bhaktir ucyate – we should engage our senses in the service of the master of the senses, Kṛṣṇa. The demoniac nature is when we think that we should become the servant of our senses. So we start to think we are the body, serving the senses is the goal of our lives. So we would rather make our very firm decision to serve the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa. That is why it is important to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. It purifies our consciousness and we become fixed in our desire to serve Kṛṣṇa. 03-April-2021 Śrīdhāma Māyāpur, India

- Question: I am very much eager to hear from your divine grace, the proper understanding of Srimad Bhagavatam 1.7.7. “ Yasyam vai sruyamanayam, krsne parama puruse, bhaktir upadyate pumsah, soka moha bhaypaha. Translation: Simply by giving aural reception to this Vedic literature, the feeling for loving devotional service to Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, sprouts up at once to extinguish the fire of lamentation, illusion and fearfulness.” What should be the attitude of a devotee to earn that bhakti which can remove lamentation, illusion and fear?
