Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Chanting Purely
The great endeavor to control the mind may actually contribute to fatigue while chanting, but what especially contributes to fatigue is that we have no taste. If there is no taste, chant anyway as a matter of duty, and taste will eventually come. We will not be able to force the taste for the holy name. Taste comes only by the Lord's will. To the degree that we are determined to chant despite a lack of taste or that we become tired by the effort, we will gradually begin to feel progress in chanting.
Srila Prabhupada
Letter to Caturbhuja, 9 May, 1973
Your third question is: does the soul ever become weak or strong on account of its association and contact with material nature? It is not the spirit soul that becomes weak or strong but it is his determination to become Krsna Conscious that me become weak or strong. By the influence of the modes of passion and ignorance he becomes weak and by the influence of the mode of goodness he becomes strong. But by the association with the pure devotee he becomes strongest.
