Jayapataka Swami: Yes! We should develop – by chanting purely then naturally we should be crying. Just like we see in the pastimes of Lord Caitanya that devotees when they see the great qualities of compassion and mercy of Lord Caitanya, they naturally started to cry. So why we are not crying when we hear these wonderful pastimes, when we hear how merciful the Lord is! If we are not crying, we should be crying that we are not crying! And if we are not crying that we are not crying, we should cry that we are not crying that we are not crying! So, this comes naturally when we appreciate the Lord’s quality of compassion and mercy! That crying is happiness! That is the highest happiness, to be crying in ecstasy! Hare Krsna!
