Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 81. In spite of accepting mantras from the spiritual master, why still our minds are not being regulated? This means that we have not actually received mantras. To give some mantra does not mean to whisper anything or blow some air into the ear holes. Accepting mantra initiation means to attain transcendental knowledge. This transcendental knowledge smashes into pieces the pillars of our nescience accumulated from time immemorial and then build pillars of eternal truth based on transcendental knowledge. At the time of awarding transcendental knowledge Lord Krishna said to Brahma "I am the absolute truth" This absolute truth is revealed through an empowered personality. And this empowered personality is the spiritual master. Many insignificant agents or messengers come into this material world. But the most powerful messengers sent by God to suit the adaptability of all the recipients are the spiritual masters. The absolute truth is revealed through such expert personalities. Only such spiritual masters can destroy our mental speculation and bring about a radical change in our spiritual propensity. The knowledge that we receive from the spiritual master is not mundane, it is transcendental or spiritual. This transcendental knowledge is Krishna. Krishna is eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. Mantra is fully cognizant. Mantra can definitely regulate our mind, deliver our mind from the conception of vice and virtue and can award us the qualification to cultivate spiritual life.
