What if I am unable to love Krishna more than material people?
A Girl devotee (Name hidden) asked like this:
“Hare Krishna prabhuji. Now a days,when I watch movies or hear some stories (even real ones),I see the characters who love more,will start contemplating who will love more like that,then I think of my dad who loves me a lot and does everything which is good for me. And then my thinking progresses on thought of ‘will my husband be like that?’. But always my thought process comes to an end on thinking that ‘Love in this material world will end someday. But Krishna loves us unconditionally. He will pamper us alot.His love is never ending too.He Pampers us alot.’ Really I want to reciprocate my love for krishna. But couldn’t be able to naturally love him like we love material people. Please do help me with it prabhuji. Hari bol!”
REPLY:
You have not properly installed Krishna in your heart and felt His presence within you.
Krishna is closest to you because He is within your heart.
Material people can’t enter into your body and stay there.
In spite of this fact, you feel the material love more than the love for Krishna.

You are seeing the material people in person and feel their love in person.
So, you feel loving material people easier than loving Krishna.
Since you FEEL the love of material people directly, you consider it better though it is a contaminated love.
We simply forget that the material love is always backed by some expectations.
Until we FEEL Krishna, we can’t love Him deeply.
What to do to feel Krishna?
If you seriously desire to love Krishna more than anyone, He will show Himself to you.
It took about 5 years for me after coming to Krishna Consciousness to FEEL Krishna APPARANTLY.
Till that, I was just chanting and worshiping.
When I wanted to FEEL Krishna, He started to give me some experiences in life. During those experiences, He exposed me His presence.
When my loans were the barriers for my devotional advancement, Krishna miraculously cleared them in a single shot that is unimaginable. This showed Krishna’s presence with me.
When I was in the ICU for my heart related issue and was declared dying by the doctors, Krishna showed His presence by miraculously extending my lifetime in the year 2019.
Whenever people showed jealousy on me, Krishna has shown His presence by driving those people away.

Why Krishna started to show His presence?
Because,
(i) I have fully dedicated my life to serve Krishna. I have no other purpose to live here.
(ii) I have 100% faith in His presence and His Supremacy and potency.
(iii) Even during the very adverse situations, I am doing the preaching service consistently that was mentioned by Krishna as His most favourite service.
(iv) I am facing the pains as per my karma and I do not like to escape from them. I have left them to the discretion of Krishna.
Thus, 100% dedication and the honest desire to get the love of Krishna is important to get the special attention of Krishna.
Krishna is ready to expose Himself to us. But, when the material people are sitting strongly in our heart, how can we allot space to accomodate Krishna in our heart?
So, we should first clean that material attachment.
If you understand the temporary nature of material love, you will Love Krishna more than others.
Then, Krishna will strongly sit within your heart.
This is the way to love Krishna more than material people.
