Depending on the mercy of the Lord, patiently

Verse 1.6.19: What is needed is service attitude to devotees and Krishna.

Basically, Srila Naradamuni was meditating in his heart and he saw the form of Ksirodaksayi Vishnu in his heart. Then suddenly that form disappears. Then he tried so much to try and repeat that mechanical process again and again, but somehow he did not get that mercy again. We all also, our initial experience in Krishna Consciousness was so very nice, but we try and try now and we might not get it now. Due to our familiarity and other things we do not receive that bliss again.
Here 3 points Srila Prabhupada is making:
* You cannot bring Krishna by force, only by His mercy He can be seen and experienced
* One must be very patient in executing devotional service
* Keep on executing devotional service, unalloyed, without any motives
