If you want to satisfy me, you will rise early every morning and chant your rounds attentively. You will listen to my lectures about chanting the holy name and understand my instructions on the proper method and consciousness that one should have in chanting. Every day you will read from Srila Prabhupada’s books. You will associate with devotees for the purpose of hearing and chanting about Krishna. I promise that if you do this, understanding it to be the most important service to me, everything else will follow.
