Don't Be a Foolish Idiot
Don't be an idiot who foolishly spoils his human form of life by running madly after material sense gratification. Your human life is meant, by God's arrangement, for self realization, not for the maddened pursuit of material pleasures. If your only desire is material pleasure, it is better than you go down to the animal kingdom where you can unrestrictedly engage in material sense gratification without having to suffer any karmic reactions for doing so.
One songwriter hankering after sense gratification has sung, "Dogs run free, why not me?" If this is what he wants, he will get this facility in his next birth. However, those who are intelligent understand that all living beings in this material world must suffer the miseries of birth, death, old age, and disease. Therefore these intelligent persons focus their minds on Krishna or God, doing everything for His pleasure, so that they will attain God instead of dog. Instead of getting a dog's body in their next birth, they will attain their original spiritual form in the spiritual world after leaving their present material body.
What are good ways to serve Krishna?

My Dear Deepali,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Service to Krishna begins with the tongue. We engage our tongues in chanting Hare Krishna and tasting Krishna prasadam, the vegetarian foodstuffs which have been offered to Krishna with love and devotion.
So you should every chant the Hare Krishna mantra on japa mala beads at least 16 rounds per day and restrict your diet to only eating Krishna prasadam. This will enable you to advance rapidly on the pathway of Krishna consciousness.
I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
