So today we are making a commitment. It’s not just a commitment of duty.. It’s a commitment of gratitude. Because when our hearts are really chanting because we’re grateful to have received this mercy. And we’re chanting a minimum of sixteen rounds everyday to reciprocate with gratitude for what we’re receiving. And a grateful heart is a heart that can receive Krishna Prema. An ungrateful heart, however many rounds we chant, Krishna Prema will always remain a distance away. But we should chant, and we should chant with gratitude. And as an expression of our gratitude, we perform the duty of chanting as much as possible with our fullest attention regularly, with our minds, with our intellect, with our hearts, and Srila Prabhupada was so kind to us, He was tasting the supreme sweetness of executing the order of His Guru Maraj to take this message of Love of God and Harinaam to the world. He wanted us, He wants each and every one of us to have that experience to carry out the mission of Srila Prabhupada to spread the Krishna consciousness all over the world.
