After the chattering of the mind has stopped and you have started hearing / listening to the chant, stop chanting aloud. Chant within your mind in rhythm with your breath. As the listening becomes more focused on the God, stop the inner chant as well and just contemplate on the feeling. Feeling is the essence. This is what was missing when you first started chanting aloud. That chanting was for the mind. Now with the feeling, its from the heart with a feeling of unconditional love.
