The way for embracing and going into kirtan is endless. When a group of people gather together, we touch each other through sound vibration, and it’s endlessly exciting and changing and different at every moment, just like we are. Consciousness means that we’re changing; it’s nothing static. As we open ourselves through the chanting, through taking prasadam, we become conscious. First conscious, and as we become conscious, then we can become Krishna conscious. So we really want to try to live in a state of consciousness instead of unconsciousness. Unconsciousness means dull, unappreciative, half-asleep, veiled, unaware. And when you just think, “Oh, I want to become conscious,” and then put the number one factor in, Krishna, then life changes. Just that fast! We change this fast, and you start to feel the Krishna magic come in.
