Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 OM NAMAH SIVAYA "Faith will make us aware of our true nature; but to experience it directly, we need to put forth the effort." -Amma my understanding is different deities emphasize different attributes of The Infinite God. and as Amma says Love is the common denominator to them all. The Mantra IS God in the form of sound, a vibration. constant repetition aligns our vibration with the vibration of The Deity we are repeating. and constant repetition of Mantra will give one the experience of God. whether you are a serial killer or a saint. the experiences may be very different, but equally valid. and that direct experience Amma speaks of will increase our Faith. the prerequisite to it all is our sincere effort. the faith is the key and Mantra the lock. by putting the faith in the Mantra the door opens.
