A devotee should sincerely pray to Kṛṣṇa, “Please, engage me in Your service.” It is a proper mood to chant the name of the Lord. Then one who feels deprived of service can chant with feelings. Then it can become very relevant. “I feel deprived of service. Kṛṣṇa please, give me service, because without service there is no meaning to my life.”
