When we chant, we must concentrate our mind on the sound vibration, and in that way everything will be revealed one after another; the form, qualities, pastimes, etc. of the Lord. And this is the way of cultivating spiritual realization. ( Excerpt from Srila Prabhupada's Letter to Jagadisa dated 27 Feb 1970, Los Angeles, quoted in the talk )

But what I find very useful about this quote from Prabhupada is that we don't have to do anything else when we're chanting except chant and listen because everything will be revealed one after another. And those types of quotes really help me because the mind always wants to take a walk somewhere and go see something else—addicted to distraction. Let's... can't there be anything else besides this? But then the direction comes that there is nothing else besides this—everything's in it. So if one can be aware of that fact that everything's within the holy name and everything that you're looking for, dear mind, will be revealed one after another, then it makes a worthy challenge to stick with listening. Stick with listening to the vibration itself. ( Excerpt from the talk )
