Sometimes neophyte devotees begin to think, “Where is the pleasure in Krsna consciousness? I have to do the same thing every day! Every day I have to get up for mangala-arati, attend guru-puja, hear Bhagavatam class, and perform my service—the same service. This is what happens when we begin to think there is no variety in spiritual life. We begin to look for variety in matter, being attracted to the apparent enjoyment that materialists are experiencing. If we are in this enjoying consciousness and focusing that enjoyment on matter, it will be very difficult for us to understand the Supreme Lord’s appearance and pastimes, and it will be especially difficult to understand the pleasure of spiritual life. There is great pleasure to be felt in simply discussing Krsna’s activities.
