When we chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra in japa, this is a very personal matter because we all are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. We have our unique relationship with Him, and this is a time for self-tuning, just as you tune a radio, if you've ever done that. I don't know if there are radios anymore. It used to be in the old days, kids. There were machines called radios, and they had a dial on them, and there were frequencies along the dial that you could tune into and listen to a specific program. Are you listening?

There's a cat. Cats can join too. Kitty, kitty is doing service like kitty just sleep. Let her hang out. When we chant japa, it's a time of self-examination, where we look and see where we are tuned. So we can be tuned to, even as we're chanting, we can be tuned to another frequency. Like there's a frequency of, 'When are we going to eat?' There's a frequency of, 'I have a problem I have to solve.' The frequency of, 'My foot hurts.' There are a lot of different frequencies. So we try to get tuned as closely as we can to being a servant of Kṛṣṇa and just praying to Kṛṣṇa.
