Bring the prayerful mood and remembrance, so that it is not just a machine like chanting. Even if external chanting and lip movement are there, the mind has to be involved, intelligence has to be activated, and the soul needs to be stirred up.
Chant with attention, with devotion. Chant constantly, all the time and call out that, “Oh Lord, I am yours so please accept me and engage me continuously in Your service.”
So japa is not just the time to sit around, just sitting the round. Your whole being, your whole existence is being used in action. Body, mind and intelligence. So use the intelligence.
Due to laziness the mind doesn’t want to chant. Laziness could be of varieties. You should be around those who are enthusiastic. Then what happens? Chanting is enthused and your laziness runs away .
Brahma Sukh – unlimited happiness is awaiting for those souls who undergo the process of purification – cleansing process . Chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra is that cleansing process in this age of Kali yuga.
