"You start doing chanting as technique. You start to sing ‘Shri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram.’ You start thinking it means, Honorable Ram, Hail Ram, Hail Hail Ram.
Then after an hour you stop thinking about all of that and you are just
singing it. You are realizing the aesthetic of the music and how
beautiful it is. Then after a while it starts to go deeper until your
heart is just singing, it’s singing from inside you.
Then there’s a point where true Bhakti starts - where dualism ends and
you become like the chant. You are in a space where it’s not emotional
anymore. It’s moved into the deeper, intuitive quality of love. Touching
that love leaves you with trust in the method and trust in where the
method takes you—trust in the Beloved and trust in how you get there. "
