MANTRA IS THE CURE FOR THE MIND

-SRI SRI

Many times you tell your mind that something is trivial and not to worry about it. But
the mind or intellect does not pay any attention. So we can chant a mantra. Our
mind takes the form of the mantra that we repeat.

Manah trayate iti mantrah means a mantra is that which is brought to mind again
and again. And to practice this mind and the mantra should not be separate. The
mind should become the mantra. If the mind thinks of something else while chanting
the mantra, the mantra will not be effective. The mind should be filled with the
mantra. The moment that happens, the mind is free from worry.

A worry is something that is not in place. It is neither here nor there. A mantra is
necessary to drive out worries. A mantra has strength and spirit. When these are
present, the mind becomes the power of the mantra. The power of the mind and the
power of a mantra are the same.

Chittam mantrah Mind should become the mantra. The power of every mantra
can be felt in the form of vibrations. When an atom explodes, its impact spreads not
only for many kilometers, but the effects remain for many years all this from the
explosion of an atom! The mind is a thousand times subtler than an atom. Imagine
the power of the mind when it becomes quiet. When the mind becomes quiet again
and again, this is called mantra. Mantra is the cure for the mind.
