Even mechanical following can lead to perfection

[Guest guest]

Even mechanically following, and if he gets gradually understanding from the

class, he will come to the point of spontaneous enthusiasm. This spontaneous

loving devotional service is not so easy matter, but if one simply sticks

strictly to the rules and regulations, like rising early, chanting 16

rounds, chanting gayatri, keeping always clean--then his enthusiasm will

grow more and more, and if there is also patience and determination, one day

he will come to the platform of spontaneous devotion, then his life will be

perfect.
