If we sincerely try to fix our mind on Kṛṣṇa and we practice, then:

teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ

bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam

dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ

yena mām upayānti te

Kṛṣṇa directly gives us intelligence, the practice of devotional service. He's there. He's speaking to us. Actually, He's always trying to direct, but it's like when somebody's speaking to you and you're looking into your cell phone and you're not actually paying attention, or your mind is going somewhere else, and then you say, "What'd you say?" And they say, "I just told you." It's like, "Yeah, but I didn't hear you," but it went right in your ear, but I didn't hear you because I didn't give attention. So Kṛṣṇa is speaking to us, but in material life, 'bhayaṁ dvitīyābhiniveśataḥ syād'—I'm absorbed in something else, some other thing besides hearing Kṛṣṇa.

Kṛṣṇa consciousness is so simple, it means turning our attention, our awareness, back to listening to Kṛṣṇa. And if we follow four regulative principles, and we chant 16 rounds, and we live in the association of devotees, take prasādam, then gradually we can hear Kṛṣṇa's voice in the buddhi-yoga. He tells us exactly what to tell people, which person needs this, which person needs that, and also guides us on how to move forward in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Of course, He also expands Himself externally, as Uddhava says to Kṛṣṇa, "Then I'm so grateful to You, because You not only instruct me from within, but You also manifest outwardly in the form of my different gurus who are directing me."
