July 21: 3rd Verse
Actually 1st sloka has all the wonderful benefits that chanting offers. Krishna is non-different from His holy name, still Caitanya Mahaprabhu is expressing that I don't have a taste for the holy name. Here Caitanya Mahaprabhu is taking the place of a conditioned soul.
So how to develop this taste?
Solution: Humbler than a blade of Grass, more tolerant than a tree, not expecting respect and giving all respect to others.
Every conditioned soul in this world, is a controller. In order to get rid of this mentality, and get a mood of servant of servant of servant of Krishna, that is only through chanting.
Chanting means begging for service. Because only through service our heart changes. In a very humble way, we should chant.
Srila Prabhupada, Srila Bhaktisiddanta Saraswati Thakur (SBSST) and sannyasi's in our movement applied in their life this principle.
SBSST said that our siddhapranali mantra is: Trnad api...sadha hari!
If we string this to the garland of holy name, then we will attain the perfection of our life.
