Mantra meditation without the brain’s “monkey noise”

QUESTION:

“…As far as the Mahamantra goes, I have indeed found time to chant. I set aside an hour of time two nights ago to get as deep into the chant as possible, and it just didn’t work out.

QUESTION:

“How much is push and how much is pull?  By push, I mean the conscious way we push ourselves towards spiritual development through our intellectual understanding of its necessity.  By pull, I mean the natural attraction that draws us towards development. Both, I suppose are interwoven, but often I feel there to be a tension between the two.

Is there a proper balance?”
