TRANSLATION
“If one’s heart does not change, tears do not flow from his eyes, his body does not shiver, nor his hairs stand on end as he chants the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, it should be understood that his heart is as hard as iron. This is due to his offenses at the lotus feet of the Lord’s holy name.”
PURPORT
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ţhākura, commenting on this verse, which is a quotation from  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (2.3.24), remarks that sometimes a  mahā-bhāgavata , or very advanced devotee, does not manifest such transcendental symptoms as tears in the eyes, although sometimes a  kaniṣṭha-adhikārī , neophyte devotee, displays them artificially. This does not mean, however, that the neophyte is more advanced than the  mahā-bhāgavata  devotee. The test of the real change of heart that takes place when one chants the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mahā-mantra  is that one becomes detached from material enjoyment. This is the real change.  Bhaktir parasyānubhavo viraktir anyatra syāt . If one is actually advancing in spiritual life, he must become very much detached from material enjoyment. If it is sometimes found that a  kaniṣṭha-adhikārī  (neophyte devotee) shows artificial tears in his eyes while chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa  mantra  but is still completely attached to material things, his heart has not really changed. The change must be manifested in terms of one’s real activities.
