My Dear Aditya,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
A devotee sees everything that happens to him as the special mercy of Krishna: the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the ugly. He realizes that Krishna very much misses us and is doing He can from His side without removing our free will to purify us and convince us that our only true happiness is to be fully surrendered to him.
A simple trick/formula for improved chanting is that every day you should not eat anything until you have completed your daily quota of japa mala. In other words, your first business is to feed your soul. Once that is
done you can think about feeding your body. In this way you can transform your miserable existence into the most sublime, exciting,
ever-increasingly ecstatic adventure at every minute.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
