| Meditation and Mantra |
According to Raman
Maharshi, repetition of the mantra, with attention directed to the source
of the sound completely engages the mind. The source is not the vocal
organs alone, but also the idea of the sound in the mind, whose source
is "Self". Thus the practice of mantra is more than a suggestion, or a
bit of advice or an idea. It is a means of getting in touch with our self-the
purpose of meditation as explained earlier.
This is the meaning
of the great saying of Jesus. "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." Heaven
is not beyond. It is here and now. Everything is Heaven. You have only
to open your eyes. Meditating with a Mantra opens up our inner vision.
