Krishna consciousness means to understand that we are all in absolute reality,  blissful portions of Brahman that are currently covered by another portion of the Supreme Brahman’s energy called the Mahatattva . The Mahatattva are  the total  unmanifested and manifested portions of the  material energies . These provide the responsive universe and the many possibilities that are linked to the ethereal desires along with our works and deeds within the world of matter .Both Brahman energies stem from the supreme Brahman,  and are both one and different from Him .These sciences of consciousness and the psychological conditionings of entrapment are thoroughly explained by the originator Lord Krishna ,  as well as the reasons why .We should understand we put ourselves here, not Krishna directly . As we look out, we see the workings of Brahman,  which is awarding a portion of itself. It’s a wrapping of the blissful consciousness , and the sat cit ananda original state has become somehow entangled.  Spiritual life simply means studying why and finding the way out . Curiously, John Lennon had the solutions in his song ” All you need is love ” .

Krishna consciousness means to revive or to develop love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead,  automatically by love everything is revealed and everything is overcome.

Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita.

Bg. 9.34

मन्मना भव मद्भ‍क्तो मद्याजी मां नमस्कुरु ।
मामेवैष्यसि युक्त्वैवमात्मानं मत्परायण: ॥ ३४ ॥

man-manā bhava mad-bhakto
mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru
mām evaiṣyasi yuktvaivam
ātmānaṁ mat-parāyaṇaḥ

Translation

Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, become My devotee, offer obeisances to Me and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me.

The point being if you love someone properly, you will never forget them .

Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has explained all in his literature,  as do the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas and devotees.

Chant chant chant .can’t can’t can’t can’t, Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami once joked ..

In philisophical terms ..chanting……. the
Scriptures say “Steel framed hearts that feel no emotions , are a problem, ” Srila Gour Govinda Swami used to say something like ” owl like consciousness , keeping oneself in self centred darkness, ” therefore come out …he would say ..
That’s one extreme. ….

And the overly emotional sahajiya based on misunderstanding Krishna and His trancendental position is another extreme….they are thinking Krishna and His associates have bodies and emotions like theirs …but a tiny piece of chipped glass or a unimaginable huge beautiful diamond ….no comparison
The balance in spiritual attempts should be to develop emotions with a genuine attempt of rendering service’s with some bhakti for Krishna along with some knowledge of sastra , and this is achieved by following the devotees, the genuine Sri Guru , and the previous acaryas through Nityananda prabhu and Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
