How to perfect one's chanting?
How to perfect one's chanting?
manah-samharanam saucam maunam mantrartha-cintanam
avyagratvam anirvedo japa-sampatti-hetavah
"In order to perfect one's chanting of japa, one needs to cultivate the following qualities: control of the mind, internal and external purity, silence, contemplation of the mantra's meaning, patience, and steadfastness." (Hari-bhakti-vilasa 17.129)
Here manah-samharanam means to repeatedly bring the mind back when it wanders to sense objects. Avyagratva means that one should not rush one's chanting in order to finish the fixed number of rounds. Anirveda means that one should not lose hope when one does not attain results as quickly as expected. Bhaktivinoda Thakura has also given us this instruction on chanting:
japa-kale manake ekagra-bhave lao citte suddha thak vatha katha nahi kao,
namartha cintaha sada dhairyasraya kara namete adara kari krsna-nama smara
"While chanting japa, remember Krsna's name with affectionate respect, concentrate the mind on the chanting alone, be pure in mind and avoid speaking uselessly, contemplate the mantra's meaning, and remain patient." Here ekagra-bhave lao (concentrate the mind on the chanting alone) is not intended to preclude thinking of the meaning of the mantra (mananam/contemplation) nor remembrance of the lila (smaranam) that follows it. While only mananam is mentioned in this song, smaranam is also implied.

Imitation is not good by Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj
"If you associate with the conditioned souls of this world, then bondage will be more strong. If you associate with sudha bhakta, by your good fortune, your natural eternal function which is to have exclusive devotion to the Lord, will start to sprout.
You should associate with the sadhus. How and where can I get sadhus? If I get a sadhu, how can I associate with him? From a distant place, can I get association of a sadhu? Only external nearness is not closeness.
This is not signified here. Bugs also associate with the sadhu by sucking the blood. You find, there was a sadhu in Mayapur – full of bugs. They exploit him. But from a distance, a thousand miles away, if a person is following the footsteps of Maharaj Gauranga Mahaprabhu and Sri Sri Radha Krishna, then he is following the mentality.
He is associating with the sadhu. Imitation is not good. How and which posture sadhu is sitting, I'll sit like that. Which posture sadhu is walking, I'll walk like that. Which posture sadhu is lying, I'll lie like that. Our only purpose is to serve Krishna and His devotees. Not any other purpose.
Imitation is not good." ---

" Se você associar as almas condicionadas deste mundo , então bondage será mais forte . Se você associar com sudha bhakta , por sua boa fortuna , a sua função eterna natural, que é ter dedicação exclusiva ao Senhor , vai começar a brotar. você deve associar-se com os sadhus . como e onde posso obter sadhus ?
Se eu conseguir um sadhu , como posso associar com ele? de um lugar distante , eu posso conseguir associação de um sadhu ? Só proximidade externo não é a proximidade. Esta é . . não significava aqui erros também associar-se com o sadhu sugando o sangue que você encontrar , houve um sadhu em Mayapur - . . cheio de bugs Eles explorá-lo Mas de longe, milhares de quilômetros de distância, se uma pessoa está seguindo os passos de Maharaj Gauranga Mahaprabhu e Sri Sri Radha Krishna, em seguida, ele está seguindo a mentalidade .
ele está associando com o sadhu . Imitação não é bom. Como e que a postura sadhu está sentado , eu vou sentar assim. que postura sadhu está andando , vou andar assim. que postura sadhu está mentindo , eu vou mentir assim . Nosso único propósito é servir a Krishna e Seus devotos .
Não qualquer outra finalidade. Imitação não é bom. "---
