We always have this conception that to achieve perfection of life means to take a journey, to go some place else besides being here. But actually if one transforms his consciousness, then wherever he is, is Vrndavan. The state of pure Krsna consciousness means that one has reached Krsna. Therefore the perfectional stage of life can be achieved when one is still within this body.

Chanting should be performed with some feeling. Whether the emotion is hankering for Krsna, remorse, repentance, eagerness to chant more attentively, remembrance of our favorite pastime, or whatever, when there is some feeling, our chanting becomes less mechanical and more spontaneous.
