You should first try to come in niṣṭhā. Do you know what is niṣṭhā? At first there is śraddhā, and when śraddhā is matured it becomes niṣṭhā. Niṣṭhā is a good, high thing. Then the mind is fixed. There is no doubt in any siddhānta—no doubt. At that time māyā will not attract. At that time we will chant harināma, yet with no taste, but we see that there is no remedy without taking the chanting of Hari’s name. So, even if there is no taste at the time of niṣṭhā, we know that there is nothing which will take us to Kṛṣṇa without His name.
