Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 Visitor: I am taught that Mantra Japam is very potent in practice. Bhagavan: The Self is the greatest of all mantras and goes on automatically and eternally. If you are not aware of this internal mantra, you should take to do it consciously as japam, which is attended with effort, to ward off all other thoughts. By constant attention to it, you will eventually become aware of the internal mantra, which is the state of Realisation and is effortless. Firmness in this awareness will keep you continually and effortlessly in the current, however much you may be engaged on other activities. Listening to Veda chanting and mantras has the same result as conscious repetitions of japam - its rhythm is the japam. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ S.S.
