live forever by serving Krsna ...
"There is nothing new to be said. Whatever I had to say, I have already said in my books. Now you must all try to understand it and continue with your endeavors. Whether I am present or not present doesn't matter. Just as Krsna is living eternally, the living being also lives eternally. But especially... kirtir yasya sa jivati: 'One who has done service to the Lord lives forever.' You have been taught to serve Krsna, and with Krsna we'll live eternally. Our life is eternal. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire: the disappearance of the temporary body doesn't matter. The body is meant for disappearance. So, live forever by serving Krsna. Thank you very much." Srila Prabhupada, Vrindavan, India, 1977

Sirla Prabhupada describes transcendental reading:
"To hear about Krishna from Vedic literatures, or to hear from Him directly through the Bhagavad-Gita, is itself righteous activity. And for one who hears about Krishna, Lord Krishna, who is dwelling in everyone's heart, acts as a best-wishing friend and purifies the devotee who constantly engages in hearing of Him. In this way, a devotee naturally develops his dormant transcendental knowledge. As he hears more about Krishna from the Bhāgavatam and from the devotees, he becomes fixed in the devotional service of the Lord. By development of devotional service one becomes freed from the modes of passion and ignorance, and thus material lusts and avarice are diminished. When these impurities are wiped away, the candidate remains steady in his position of pure goodness, becomes enlivened by devotional service and understands the science of God perfectly. Thus bhakti-yoga severs the hard knot of material affection and enables one to come at once to the stage of asaḿśayaḿ-samagram, understanding of the Supreme Absolute Truth Personality of Godhead." (Bhāg. 1.2.17-21)

Some find it more peaceful to avoid interacting with others. However, we do not want just peace. We want realization, and the unfoldment of realization is not always a peaceful process. (from Reflections on Sacred Teachings. Volume 5- Srila Bhaktisiddhantas 64 Principles for Community by HH Bhakti Tirtha Maharaja)

Srila Prabhupada was most enlivened to hear the report of New Govardhana Farm. His Divine Grace in the last month or so has been stressing the importance of these farm projects, and said, “This is the next aspect of Krsna consciousness which I wish to push forward. If I am able to travel again, then I shall visit the farms and make them perfect. On these farms we can demonstrate the full varnasrama system. If these farms become successful then the whole world will be enveloped by Krsna consciousness. (Letter from Tamal Krsna Goswami, Secretary to Srila Prabhupada, to Hari Sauri Das, ISKCON Melbourne, August 10th, 1977)
What should I be?
To be a good man or a non-violent man is a personal attachment, but to act on behalf of the Supreme is to act without attachment to the result.

Jagannatha Svami ki jai!
” O tongue, praise the glories of Lord Kesava. O mind, worship the enemy of Mura. O hands, serve the Lord of Sri. O ears, hear the topics of Lord Acyuta. O eyes, gaze upon Sri Krsna. O feet, go to the temple of Lord Hari. O nose, smell the tulasi buds on Lord Mukunda’s feet. O head, bow down to Lord Adhoksaja.”

If you simply develop these services with enthusiasm and creativity then Krsna will give you a lot of mercy and day by day you will experience devotional service as more and more wonderful - HH Kadamba Kanana Swami letter
Cidananda Swami preaches to Radhanath Swami about chanting in the book "A Journey Home"
You should practice chanting Lords name until you reach a state in which the japa goes on uninterruptedly in the mind even while sitiing or standing, eating of drinking, walking or working, waking or sleeping
