Follow Up Question to 426--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI-- One Good Quality Grade 'A+' Ch

[Guest guest]

while we are waiting for Swamiji's answer i hope u don't mind me

amusing myself by venturing an attempt.

 

an A-plus chant is one that is so focussed that there is ONLY the

pervasive unity of the chant and nothing else.

 

in that case, the king would utter that one RAM and all the karma ...

which is, IN HIS MIND/WORLD ONLY ... would immediately disappear. that

would be the power of an A-plus chant.

 

Anything less would have more and more degrees of distraction when

chanting, tamasic qualities etc. The A-plus chant is totally

concentrated, to the point of the concentration being completely open

and no longer with the sensation of duality or effort. It is

characterized as bhav samadhi.

 

PEACE
