The power of mantra

Mantra is a powerful healing energy and a form of prayer. Spiritual consciousness brings inspiration from God, and creation itself occurred through sound. Divine messages arrive through symbols or voice—an inner voice, a voice through another, or a sound from space. A yogi meditating expands consciousness to encounter the immense governing power known as God. To approach this cosmic power, one must find a channel. Mantras are these channels, the vibrational pathways to enter into God. They are resonance, sound, and the divine essence itself.

"Mantras are known as vibrations. Mantras are known as resonance."

"The mantra is; God is alone."

What is a mantra, how should one practice it, and what kinds of mantras are there? Most of you know something about mantra, but I would like to elaborate further. Mantra possesses a healing power. It is one of the most powerful energies that exists in the universe. That is mantra. A mantra is a kind of prayer. When one begins to receive spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy, and starts to meditate and contemplate certain things, this inspiration comes from God Himself. You see, creation itself took place through sound. Whenever God, or someone, wishes to give us a message, there are two ways. One is through symbols as an indication, and the second is through a voice. When God or another wishes to tell us something, it is done in two ways: either through a symbol that signifies something, or through a voice. That can be an inner voice, a voice through another person, or a voice that comes from space. That is a sound. Thus, a particular sound conveys a specific meaning to us. In this way, when a yogī begins to meditate, they expand their consciousness into the universe. There, they first encounter a great, immense power. That great power, the Almighty. That means the most powerful force above all powers. That power governs everything. It becomes the creator. It becomes the protector, and it becomes the liberator. And it becomes the distractor—that great power. They give it the name known as God. God. That God which is in everything. How does one come near to that power? How to enter into that cosmic power? How to become one with that power? You must search for a channel of that power, a power channel. Just as every river has channels to enter the ocean, similarly, all spiritual channeling power is that which enters into God. And those channels are the mantras. These channels are the mantras. Mantras are known as vibrations. Mantras are known as resonance. Mantras are known as sound, and mantras are known as God itself. The mantra is; God is alone.
