I have been chanting Maha mantra daily for the past six months. But my sexual desires and arrogance are getting increased. What should I do?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

Continue what you are doing right now. The rest of the things will be taken care of automatically. If possible, increase your chanting.

 

Once a similar question was asked to Bhagavan Ramana. Bhagavan replied, "If the fort is to be captured, firstly all the soldiers from inside the fort should be allowed to come out and be killed one by one."

 

Likewise, it is only your Vasanas (impressions) that are manifesting themselves. So there is nothing to worry. However, don't stop chanting for any reason.
