But certain forms of meditation bring one
to the quiet mind and prepare one to be
taken by what is behind the mantra.

“Pronouncing a mantra correctly is a
high art rarely achieved. When correctly
pronounced, it has the power to quiet the
mind. When all formulation of the mantra
is dissolved through the sound vibration,
you are one with the perception, the
vibration. This vibration is still an object
of observation but as you know from your
guru that what you are is the light behind
all perceptions, even this most subtle
object dissolves in your being aware.

The art of the mantra is magic and
to learn it takes a very long time and
a very talented teacher. Usually you
die before you master it!”
