What is Krishna Consciousness?
Srila Prabhupada very wonderfully defines what is Krishna consciousness in his preface to the Krishna Book as follows:
"The art of focusing one’s attention on the Supreme and giving one’s love to Him is called Kṛṣṇa consciousness."
And then he further explains:
"We have inaugurated the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement so that everyone can satisfy his propensity for loving others simply by directing his love toward Kṛṣṇa. The whole world is very eager to satisfy the dormant propensity of love for others, but the various invented methods like socialism, communism, altruism, humanitarianism and nationalism, along with whatever else may be manufactured for the peace and prosperity of the world, are all useless and frustrating because of our gross ignorance of the art of loving Kṛṣṇa. Generally people think that by advancing the cause of moral principles and religious rites they will be happy. Others may think that happiness can be achieved by economic development, and yet others think that simply by sense gratification they will be happy. But the real fact is that people can be happy only by loving Kṛṣṇa."
Therefore we should make our live perfect by loving Krishna and make the whole world happy by teaching everyone how to love Krishna.

Please accept my humble obeisances on to your lotus feet.
All glories to Gurudeva!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
With reference to Thought for the Day from 2 March 2022 as you quoted Srila Prabhupada:
"If he reads one śloka, his life will be successful. If one śloka, one word. This is such nice things."
If just by following above, life becomes successful, then what is the point of following so many rules & regulations, especially the four regulative principles (no illicit sex, no meat eating, no intoxication, and no gambling) and minimum of chanting 16 rounds od Hare Krishna japa mala every day? Please enlighten.
Your aspiring servant,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
That reading will inspire him to one day embrace chanting 16 rounds and following the four regulative principles so that he will factually become a liberated soul.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
