One of the weaknesses of the heart is attachment to those things that have no relationship to Krishna. Something has no relationship to Krishna when we, by our own mental conception, see it as existing for our own pleasure. As soon as we see something for our own pleasure, then we can’t be seeing it in relationship to Krishna. Because everything is meant for Krishna’s pleasure, we are also meant for Krishna’s pleasure. Actually, this is one of the major obstacles that prevents us from making progress in chanting the Holy Name of the Lord - the spirit of enjoyment.
