The easiest method of developing devotion is to hear again and again the Lord’s Lilas.
Each time you hear the Lord’s Lilas and glories, an image of the Lord is formed in your mind.
And when you go on hearing the glories of the Lord, in due course, the Lord’s image in your
mind gets strong and bright, even as the piece of wax which a goldsmith uses for collecting the
gold particles which fall on the ground while cutting gold pieces, accumulates gold in it every
day, and after some days, itself begins to shine like a piece of gold, when the maximum number
of gold particles have stuck to it. And when the form of the Lord is bright and firm in the mind,
the devotee has ceaseless remembrance of Him and surging devotion for Him.
