Namaste,

Just very recently I started chanting 16 rounds of mahamantra each day............ and also fasting on Ekadasis on water alone.

To be precise, it has been a month.

Nothing has changed, my basic constitution remains the same..... slightly envious of those who are materialistically above me, slightly proud when encountering those who are materialistically beneath me, still feeling slightly angry at times.

Most importantly, remaining an ordinary bhatka, no tears flow from my eyes when reciting the holy names.

Although just a month, feels like I have been doing sadhana forever.

Wondering when I will change.

When will pangs of materialistic desires be uprooted from my heart?

When will I take up the chanting of holy names with enthusiasm and deep love for god instead of looking at it as a chore.

What else should I do?

Anyone knows?
