It takes this mind quite a bit of time to understand and digest even one verse of it, so it is pretty amazing how people chant this at high speed like the TGV express!
Reflecting on verse or two at a time that captures a particular idea that resonates in sAdhanA and then dwelling on it is very useful. As an example, here is one that clearly informs of the folly of arduous religious pilgrimages when the mind is not truly seeking to know the true Self:
Searches and hunts the dim witted one,
In the deep dark lake,
In the lonely dangerous forest,
And in the broad high mountains
For a flower to worship thee.
It is a wonder,
That these people do not know,
To offer to you the single lotus,
From the lake of ones own mind,
Oh God who is the consort of Uma,
And be happy at ones own place.
