Subj: [sufiMystic] Mantra Yoga A disciple went to his yogi master one

day asking for the secret of enlightenment. The master told him to

repeat the following mantra for 4 years and then return."When you

breath in, say the mantra Sen-Sah."The disciple did as he was told

and returned 4 years later."I think I've got it down," he said.

"What's next?"The yogi master told him to stop the first mantra and

repeat another one for 4 years and return."When you breath out, say

the mantra Hoo-maah".4 years later the disciple returned, proud that

he had followed exactly his master's directions, but slightly

disilusioned."I did exactly as you said master," the discpile whined,

"but I have not attain enlightenment. What I am doing wrong?""Put the

2 mantras together for the next 4 years and return." replied the

master.4 years after, the diciple returned again, this time with the

small smile of enlightenment on his face."It was not until just

yesterday that I understood what you meant master," the disciple

said, shaking his head, laughing."Some people take longer than

others," replied the yogi, pleased that his disciple had finally

developed Sen-Sah Hoo-mah, a sense of humor.
