Presence and Proof of GOD - PART 2
God is the response and reward of sincere effort.
Love can be experienced, only when love is felt, within - God, can be experienced and realized, too, when He is felt and known, within.
Mantra easy way to experience GOD
In Hinduism and Buddhism, a sacred utterance (syllable, word, or verse) is believed to possess mystical or spiritual power. Mantras may be spoken aloud or uttered in thought.
Repetition of a mantra can induce a trance-like state and can lead the participant to a higher level of spiritual awareness. Widely used mantras include OM in Hinduism and ohm mani padme hum in Tibetan Buddhism.
Mantra is a series of words which in their entirety form a sound with a positive vibration.
Word and sound are the strongest powers in the Cosmos.
Great Sages say “Words should fall from your lips like fragrant flowers”. “Be sure to make everyone happy through your words. Allow peace and harmony to vibrate through you and radiate from you.”
The two syllables of the word Mantra mean, “Man” (mind) and “tra” (liberation). Mantra is a sound that can liberate the mind from fear, dependency and sorrow.
The mind is restless and constantly occupied with many thoughts. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life and worldly problems, we find no time to think of God. Mantra gives the mind peace and guides our thoughts.
Another meaning of the syllable “tra” is fulfillment.
The Atman, our inner Self, is the essence of the Cosmic Self, whose nature is Maha Ananda, Supreme Bliss. Therefore the inner-most characteristic of each individual, as a part of the Cosmic Self, is Ananda, bliss. The Atman is not born, it is immortal. The Atman, our true Self, is sat-chit-ananda - truth, consciousness, bliss. The unquenchable thirst of our spirit longs for this, to dissolve itself fully in this bliss.
Only when it is immersed in Ananda can peace be found. Before we can reach the longed-for water, we must work hard to remove the earth and stones. These obstacles are the daily problems and difficulties that we have to cope with.
Mantra can help us overcome our daily worries and concerns, illness and misfortune. Mantra will lead us to the experience of Ananda - unconditional bliss.
Yoga means the light, consciousness and existence that always was, always is and always will be. All that is visible and not visible, is united in harmony and balance through the principle of Yoga.
It is the power that unites knowledge, the knower and the object of knowledge.
The Yogis and Rishis discovered and explored this knowledge in meditation, in order to pass it on for the welfare of humanity. The characters of the Sanskrit script were also discovered in meditation and each one has a corresponding effect upon a certain level of the Universe.
The Sanskrit Mantras that we use today originate from the spiritual work of the Yogis. This is the reason why the impact of the Mantras in the original Sanskrit is many times greater than in any other language. The Sanskrit characters are known as Devanagari (Deva means “God” and Nagar means “citizen”). Sanskrit is the “writing of the Gods”. This means that this language has existed since the beginning of the world.
There are Several Forms of Mantra: Bhajans, Kirtan, Prayer, Healing Mantra, Spiritual Mantra, and Bija Mantra which is used in Kriya Practice and deep meditation
In principle, a spiritual Mantra never causes harm to anyone. At the most, it will remain without effect if the right inner attitude is lacking or the practice is irregular.
For external purification we need soap and water. For purification of the mind, consciousness and intellect, the Mantra serves us well.
The pure energy of the Mantra removes all blemish and fault from the mind and consciousness.
It gives us the possibility to establish contact between our Self and God and unite us with the Supreme Consciousness.
