That type of help we need if we want to overcome lust. Therefore, when a devotee is chanting Hare Krishna, what he is praying for? He is praying to the internal potency of the Lord “Help me. I am helpless. I can not overcome anything unless You help me. How can I overcome this material energy?” Prabhupada said like a child crying for his mother. When we chant like that, then we will feel Krishna is here, He is hearing our pleas. Sometimes even tears may come to arise. We may cry in remembrance of the things we have done and lament, but those tears are the price to pay if we want Krishna's help. He is ready, but we have to pay some price.
