Question
The above two lines are taken from ang. 444-17.The second line states that one should chant the name as per the way of true guru. The term 'true guru' has appeared in earlier pages and means the Lord Himself.Thus we are left to meant that the name should be chanted in a manner that is pleasing to HIM/ True Guru.

What is that manner is nt explicitly stated in the vicinity of this line.

Anyone havig the knowledge may like to offer opinion. What is the manner that should be classified and termed as pleasing to HIM.

personally, I do not think that there is any reference to this effect that the name is to be chanted in a particular way. However, there are views to the contrary as well.
