Yes, first the love is in practice. We can say, ‘love under construction’, just as ‘work in progress’, ‘house under construction, - ‘love under construction’. You cannot just love like that; so-called love at first sight doesn’t go so deep. Love at first sight may be initial attraction but how deep does it go? So therefore, love for Krsna develops by finding out more and more about Krsna: who He is, what He does, what He says, and what He likes. And then if we begin to act in such a way that is pleasing to Krsna, then gradually everything becomes favourable. Then we begin to slowly develop our love for Krsna because Krsna is wonderful and by acting in a way that is pleasing to Him, we too will become pleased, because Krsna’s directions are perfect- full of depth and wisdom and whoever dedicates his life to that, will see that his life will become perfect...
