Sudama being served by Krishna & Rukmini

Madchittah madgata pranah bodhayantah parasparam I

Kathayantah cha mam nityam tushyanti cha ramanti cha II sloka 9

मद्चित्तः मद्गत प्राणाः बोधयन्तः परस्परम् I 

कथयन्तः च मां नित्यं तुष्यन्ति च रमन्ति च II श्लोक 9 

With their minds fixed on Me , with their life absorbed in Me, enlightening each other and ever speaking of Me, they are contented and delighted.

The easiest of all acts for one is to fix one's mind on what one likes the most. The child that understands that its all in all are mother and father, gets spontaneously absorbed in the parents. The devotee who comes to know that the Lord is the source and stay of himself, naturally directs his mind to the Maker. An adult sacrifices his everything in the service of his parents. nothing is dearer to one than life. The bhaktha devotes that life to the Lord. But it is not like the lovers doting one each other; for there is a lustful selfishness in their act. The devotee on the other hand, invites others to share the devotion with them. Temperamental differences are set aside in this holy act. The mention of the Lord, made by others is delightful. He devotedly recounts his understanding of the Lord to the others and eagerly receives their experiences and dissertations on the Lord. Repeated recounts of his glories does not render them stale or repugnant. Rather they become increasingly absorbing. Divergent dispositions do in this manner get co-mingled in God.

Holy communion creates contentment and not the frustration which follows indulgence. 

No picture can be painted on fresh glass. But if it is coated with the required chemicals, painting on it then becomes possible and effective. Similarlly if a man's heart were coated with devotion,  the imprinting of of the august presence of Iswara on it becomes easy.
