"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."
