The first step is to write your mantra. In one notebook, every day, at any time, and without any time limitation—whether for half a minute, ten seconds, one second, one hour, or two hours—you write your mantra. But you must write like a painter who wishes to create a beautiful portrait and who paints with great care. Not like what they call modern art, just throwing colors here and there. This practice is called Akṣara Brahma. Akṣara Brahma. Akṣara is the alphabet. And Brahma is the highest one. Brahman, that supreme reality, is transmitted through those alphabets. The physical form of your thoughts is what you write. And you know that writing can make you happy or can make you unhappy; writing can destroy humanity or writing can protect humanity, so it is said. In the pen you hold in your hand, there is immense power. Therefore, when you hold this pen, you must say to God, "Please let my body and my hand be only an instrument. But You, Lord, should write what is real, what is to be written." This is the old way of thinking and writing. When great persons were writing a book or something, they would write at the end: "It is not I who wrote this, but only my column, my pen, which was inspired by destiny, that has written. And if I wrote something and made a mistake, I beg you for your pardon. Directly or indirectly, if some words hurt you, please forgive me, because that was not my intention." They said the kalam, the pen, has the most powerful, the strongest power in the world. And that is one hundred percent true, because we now know the most powerful force is the media. And what is that? The movement of the pen. So it does not matter if you write on a computer or with a pen. It does not matter whether we write it on the computer or write it down with a pen.
