Fade means to gradually grow weak. Generally, people don't give up japa immediately and just walk away, but it fades away. Their sādhanā fades. And this can happen on a weekly basis, monthly, or yearly basis. So, we have to be aware of the phenomenon called 'japa fade'. All practices fade without attention. All practices fade without attention. So, attention means to give special care. It's one of the meanings of attention. It also comes from the word ten, which means to stretch. We have to stretch towards it. We have to stretch ourselves every day. So, some of the tenets of practical application of this are: practice pronouncing the syllables. Syllables are meaningful. If we miss them, then we're not actually doing the practice. Pronounce the syllables. 'Hare' means the original energy of the Lord. So, make sure you say the syllables. It is the manifestation of that person. Next, is to be determined to make your japa better each day. This is the only way to avoid japa fade: is to be determined to make your japa better each day. Don't be satisfied with the status quo.
