Attraction to Krishna, by Service and Humility

Verse 1.2.16: When we serve the devotees, (with humility and sincerity), what happens, we develop affinity (attraction) to Krishna and His devotees. This is the subtle science. If we serve nicely to devotees and Krishna, we will surely see an increase in our attraction to the pastimes of Krishna. That is the barometer.

Our condition life exists because we are rebellious of Krishna. So how do we come out of that. By serving the pure devotees. Eg: Narada muni, in his previous life, served the bhakti-vedantas for 4 months, had their remnants and that increased his affinity to the Lord. That type of service brings you from the greatest problem of life to the lotus feet of Krishna.

Whoever has surrendered their life to the lotus feet of Krishna, their life will go on smoothly, even if they have tons of karma, their life will just be so smooth. So we surrender our life to Krishna through Guru, then he protects us from the blazing fire of material existence. But what we have to do, to let the mercy flow, we should be very very eagerly serving the devotees, chanting the Holy name of Krishna and thus get attracted to Krishna's lotus feet.
