Everyone can be raised to the platform of Krsna consciousness. There is no difficulty. That is Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s movement. So from early in the morning He is teaching. Udilo aruna purava bhage dwija mani gora amani jage [When the rising sun appeared in the East, the jewel of the twice-born, Lord Gaurasundara, awakened]. He was not lazy. He was very busy. From early in the morning. So if we at least pretend to follow Caitanya Mahaprabhu, we cannot sleep. We must rise early in the morning. One must get up at least one and a half hours before the sunrise. That is mangala arati. Mangala arati means to get up early in the morning, take your bath, and be prepared for the mangala arati. Then begin your chanting, prayer. This is activity.
