Krishna consciousness is not a thing to be taught. It's already there within us. All we need to do is to revive it by associating with the devotees of Krishna.
Just as a young man and woman has natural attraction for each other,the soul has natural attraction for Krishna. One instance to understand is when Lord Caitanya went through the forest of jharkhand, he called the wild animals to chant and dance. Tiger and deer embraced out of Love and danced with Lord Caitanya. This shows when our Love for Krishna is revived,we naturally feel Love for all other living beings regardless of the external coverings of the soul.
By becoming a Vedic scholar,Krishna cannot be attained.It's by the mercy that flows from Krishna through His devotees, spiritual master it becomes possible to re-establish the lost Love for Krishna.
This revival of Krishna consciousness or the dormant Love for Krishna only can put off the blazing fire of lust which is burning in the hearts of the conditioned souls.
It's not the number of verses a person can quote from the vedas,it's the mercy the devotee carries within his heart to the other conditioned beings which revives the lost Love for Krishna. Of course the vedic literature can also be used by the devotees to establish the principles that invoke devotional service to the Lord.

TRANSLATION
1) I know now Your divine feet are a refuge free from all sorrow and fear, eternally full of sweet nectar.
2) At the soles of those lotus feet I surrender myself and all I possess.
3) O Lord, there is no other protection but You in this world of birth and death.
4) At last I know myself to be Your eternal servant, whose maintenance You have assured.
5) Life before, without You, held nothing but sorrow. Now I live free from all misery
6) Laksmi, desiring such a place at Your lotus feet, executed austerities. Only after securing a place by Your lotus feet did Lord Siva attain his sivatva, or quality of auspiciousness.
7) Upon obtaining those feet Lord Brahma became successful in life, and the great sage Narada Muni held those two feet to his heart.
8) Your lotus feet drive away all fear. Having held them to my head, I dance in great ecstasy, singing their glories.
9) Your lotus feet will deliver Bhaktivinoda from the perils of worldly journey.

I know now Your divine feet are a refuge free from all sorrow and fear, eternally full of sweet nectar.
Actually in one sense we all are orphans because our real mother is Srimati Radharani and our eternal father is Lord Shri Krishna and our real home is Vaikuntha, Goloka Vrindavan, but here we are in this strange place called the material world we are far far away from our mother and father, in the sense that we are repeatedly unconscious of them. The eternal soul which is full of knowledge and bliss has to grow old, get disease then die to do identification of this body. We are like orphans and the goal of life is to be reunited with our mother and father Radha and Krishna, Sita and Rama and how to do so? The lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has taught us, the Srimad Bhagvatam has taught us simply by chanting, dancing, in the association of the devotees of the lord is simple and sublime, but because of our complicated minds, our tendency is to look for something more difficult because if it's so easy, it must not work. This is the illusion of Maya in action. Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has come to causelessly give love of God to everyone and anyone, simply accept. It is the precious gift.
