Open Your Heart to Krsna

Today I want to stick again to the point of chanting with our hearts opened. I got so inspired with this topic, made me listen to lectures and try to get some knowledge from it. This is the first step, to understand how we can apply some nice behavior in order to attract Krsna's heart. All come back to devotees, service, opening the heart to a vaisnava helps us to open our hearts to Krsna. But how can we manage to do it if some of us are so shy to share realisations, maybe we don't want to bother vaisnavas who are completely engaged in service, or maybe we won't feel comfortable to say we lack on understanding the philosophy and can't follow the process as easier as others.

Yes, that's true, we really feel ashamed of our own obstacles, we feel ashamed of not being able to chant our rounds nicely, of not waking up early, of thinking in many other things instead of the Holy Names and what we may not know is that this is so common that happens with many of us all the time.

So it's not a shame to hide it from our devotee friends and seek for advice, look for help - by doing this we will be able to overcome these obstacles and chant better. I think I already told here how important is association of devotees, sometimes in a mood of being instructed, sometimes for sharing realisations....there will be times we will just wish to share a problem or a hardship we may have passed through and it's valuable - it says devotees are our friends, they are meant to be our best friends.��

That's the remedy to get Krsna's love and association, being connected to His devotees, being friends, opening our hearts to them, listening to them and giving association also. This will help us to serve more, develop humility and learn how to approach the Lord with love and a proper mood for relationship, since we learned with our spiritual friends, the vaisnavas.
Wow, we could last forever here talking about how to make our hearts ready to receive Krsna, so our chanting would be completely devoted to the Supreme in terms of Bhakti yoga.

Hare Krsna
