Absorption in Naama Bhajana

Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna! When I chant Japa during some days, I feel very very absorbed and it is a burden for me to even accept a phone call or meet anyone throughout that day or even get distracted for a second. Preaching to others becomes secondary. Absorbing oneself in the Holy Names becoming the primary goal. I think this should not be imitated. I do not feel like this artifically but it genuinely happens. Japa becomes so ecstatic  and I desire to continue with the same absorption as long as I can and do not feel like disturbing that absorption at any cost. I am able to get a small glimpse about what the great Bhajananandis like Shrila Namacharya Haridasa Thakura, Shrila Jagannatha Dasa Babaji, Shrila Gaura Kishore Dasa Babaji and Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura (in his last 4 years) experienced while performing solitary Japa. Of course, I will never give up actively preaching the Holy Names of Nityaananda, Gauraanga, and Hare Krsihna till the end of my life, but these rare moments are also to be cherished.
