Do you know why chanting helps in reducing desires and increasing satisfaction?
Forum for Hindu Awakening
With chanting, the mind is less distracted by the attractions from outside. When this straying of the mind reduces, the desires and body awareness which attract us to the Great Illusion (Māyā) automatically lose strength and we are able to get engrossed in chanting. Instead of satisfying desires, the mind gets absorbed in chanting. Thus, the desires reduce and eventually remain no more. Since desires are subtle in nature they require subtle-means (God’s Name) to reduce them. When desires reduce or are no longer there, we can remain in Bliss (Ānand), which gives internal satisfaction that is far greater than satisfying any of the desires that arise from the mind.
