Well, chanting is a process of cleaning your heart. Like an unused room in your home, it can get dirty. Nasty even. Sometimes just the thought of cleaning it repels us, even the first pass with a broom can be unpleasant. But the more we clean, and the more frequently we do so, the more pleasant the experience becomes, and we start to think, “I kinda like this room, maybe I can turn it into a study or office or something.” So chanting can be like that. Sometimes you need to push yourself at first, but as your heart becomes clean the experience and the rest of your life in general, becomes more enjoyable.
