If Kirtan means a fight: it’s the Krishna-conception versus the mayic misconception. Another way of framing it is to understand — and what the world is about is competing narratives. There is the Krishna conception narrative and the mayic misconception narrative. And in case anyone has not noticed, we are in the world where the mayic misconception is getting all the airtime. It’s all-pervasive, it’s everywhere and everything.
There is no doubt that we are separated from Krishna. Of this there is no doubt. But what is sad is that it doesn’t bother us. It bothers devotees. At a certain point, it is increasingly disturbing to them. And that’s what leads to the heart developing appreciation for hearing. That’s why they’re qualified to hear — because their heart is actually feeling separation from Krishna and hearing about Him is the antidote to that.
