Become Serious
Srila Prabbhupada��s disciple H.G.Shyamasundara prabhu shares his realizations after recovering from a heavy car accident in 2006. The text is very helpful for developing seriousness in spiritual life http://www.dandavats.com/?p=5971
Some quotes from the text concerning chanting:
"AT THE TIME OF DEATH THE HOLY NAME OF KRSNA IS YOUR ONLY FRIEND. So you should make acquaintance with Him NOW."
"Every morning we say after the 10th offence "It is also an offensive to be inattentive while chanting"...all I can say to all of you is to be as attentive and focused on the Holy Name as you possibly can because this world is a dangerous place...and like me, you may suddenly find yourself face down in the dirt, covered in blood, unable to move, blinded by your own blood, body smashed and broken, in pain beyond description, struggling to breath - in that condition you have to chant. It was not easy...just thinking about it is disturbing (I re-live it) - So practice now for the inevitable."
