When we engage in hearing and chanting about Krishna, we meet bhakti’s secondary benefits—the benefits that give us the opportunity to enjoy a variety of sense objects along with our devotional service. When those secondary results manifest, sincere devotees, fearing maya, cry out piteously to the Supreme Lord, “Please protect me and don’t allow me to fall prey to sense gratification.” Those who pray constantly like this become more attracted to the shelter that hearing and chanting offer. Such devotional prayers and the increase in hearing and chanting attract Krishna to appear in the devotees’ hearts.
