We must become deeper in our meditation. Chanting is accompanied by meditation- meditation on what we are doing, meditation on who Krsna is... These days I make that a point that I meditate while I'm chanting, in the sense that I read something that strikes me- an aspect about Krsna- and it's sort of in my mind and while I'm chanting, I'm remembering also. Chanting must be accompanied by remembering. The more we remember Krsna, the more it becomes nice. Thus hearing is another essential element to enliven our chanting. We must hear, then we get it automatically...
