I'll read the list again of elements that affect determination.

1.Modes of nature we talked about, so try to cultivate sattva in body, mind, environment, and association.

2.Next is sambandha-jñāna. I need a daily reminder of why I'm chanting. Where are we now, in the land of birth, death, old age, and disease? Where are we going? To the param dhāma.

3. And then there's nāma-tattva. If I forget, or I don't remind myself, what is Kṛṣṇa's name that's non-different from Kṛṣṇa? He's the source of everything. I may become distracted.

4. Another is scheduling. If I don't have a specific schedule for finishing my rounds, I may not finish.

5.And the last one I have listed here is remembering the benefits of finishing the vow. One of them is spiritual strength. How valuable is that, to have this yogabalena, otherwise you get pushed around by your senses.

6. And the other is spiritual integrity. When you have integrity spiritually, that you've completed your vow and you know you're good for it, you carry yourself in a different way, interact with other people in a different way. Otherwise, there's a sense of guilt and feeling unworthy and so forth.

So just considering this point, varying states of determination to chant great rounds and how we can adjust it so that in our lifestyle, we're able to keep the vow every day.
