Our first duty is to worship Caitanya Mahaprabhu. We keep the Deity. In the first we offer our obeisances to Caitanya Mahaprabhu along with His associate, and then, Guru-Gauranga… Then we offer Radha-Krsna or Jagannatha. So because this is the process of Kali-yuga, yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah, if you perform this sankirtana, simply this process, as many times as possible before Lord Caitanya, then your success is guaranteed. You don’t require anything else. This is recommended: yajnaih sankirtanaih prayair yajanti hi sumedhasah. So those who are intelligent, they catch up this easy method of self-realization. The more you chant, then the cleansing process of the heart goes on very nicely. Ceto-darpana-marjanam [Cc. Antya 20.12]. This is recommended. Ceto-darp… This is the first, because our spiritual life does not begin unless ceto-darpana-marjanam, unless the mirror of the heart is cleansed. But this is the easiest process. If you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra in ecstasy, the first benefit will be that your heart will be cleansed. Then you can see what is your position, what you are, what is your business.
