[Jitendra Hydonus]

Many people ask Amma; ‘How can I make my meditation more deeper.’ Amma invariably answers; ‘That the mind talks all day. Since it talks all day why not have something to talk about that will help us meditate better? Because when we begin our meditation, all the thoughts we have during the day we will take to our meditation. It would be nice to have two separate minds. One for meditation and another for our daily thoughts. But it does not work that way. We have one mind and the thoughts we have in that mind are all brought along with us to our meditations.’ Therefore, since the mind will be chattering all day long why not have it talk of something that is helpful for our meditation. A mantra has this purpose. We can get a mantra from Amma or a Master that will help us guide our thoughts to be helpful during meditation. We can chant this mantra silently and daily, all thru the day to help us in our meditation and spiritual practice.
