Hare krsna 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Srila Prabhupada told us that the chanting means to address the Lord.
We talk to Him by calling His name.

But we may wonder, How does the Lord feel about those who chant? Does
He notice them?

Yes. Krsna notices chanters even if they don't notice Him - and He
thinks of them. As Srila Vishvanath Chakravarti Thakura said, "When someone chants the Lord's name, the Lord's mind dwells on him. Krishna thinks, 'This person belongs to Me. I will always protect him!' "

Srila Sridhara Swami explains in this connection: "When the Lord heard that Ajamila was chanting His name, He thought about Ajamila deeply and then ordered the Visnudutas to bring him to Him. How much more, then, will the Lord remember a person who chants His Name with a service attitude?"

Let us not try to see the Lord.
Let Him see us.
And let us not try to hear His voice in the beginning.
Let Him hear us first.
Then one day the morning will dawn
when we hear him say:
"You are Mine."
