> what is the point of chants or mantras?
Dear Kristina.
6 years ago I was advised by a friend to start writing.
Ohm Sri Sai Ram in a note book a page a day. (three repitions on each line
of the page)
On questioning this I was advised that it was like puting money in the
spiritual bank but not to look for an end result. I took this as it was
offered an act of love. so further questions seemed irrelevant.
I have continued this and my mind has become virtually silent and on the
whole if thoughts do appear they are mainly of a peacefull variety compared
to the garbage, incessant noise that I used to experience.
While I am writing I tend to repeat the words softly.
I used to do the Gayatri Mantra 3 times a day and Ohm Nama Shivia also but
have got a bit lazy. So somtimes I do somtimes I dont.
Overall I feel that Mantrs area powerfull aid at least for a period of time
but eventually all concepts must go as the very thing that helps eventually
binds you, conditions you. Ultimately all teachings are sign posts helpfull
for a time but I feel that I have come to the point of realising that I have
been looking for That which I allready am. So now I wait patiently for the
Grace of----------
Hope this helps
Chris
