A mantra creates a positive harmony, a positive energy. This positive, harmonious energy grants good health and purifies your karma. There are techniques and principles governing when and how a mantra should be used. You should not repeat a mantra immediately while eating or after eating. You should first clean your mouth and your hands. Before performing certain pūjā, you should wash yourself. This is about physical, mental, and emotional purity. Intellectually, if you repeat a mantra while thinking negatively, the energy of that mantra will strengthen your negativity. That negativity will then attack you more powerfully. You may pray, but while praying, think, "That person is so terrible. I don’t like him." Now, this terrible energy will attack you. So why do this? Why not purify your thoughts and mind instead? Simply be good. Whatever you are doing now, it is just nothing. In a few days, you will have other problems, and compared to those, this current issue is just nothing. This life is given to us to clear the road for our future. Therefore, in one bhajan, Maṅgīlāl Jī said: > "Sadāmbāī, ab kyū karo te modo? Tārī sūrat bhajan māī joḍo. Sadāmbāī, ab kyū karo te modo? O my brothers, O sādhus, why do you delay?" So, all of you, why are you delaying now? Say to yourself: "No more negative thinking. Hurry home, finished." It doesn’t matter who is who or what is what. Finished. Hurry home. For so long I was in cold water; now I come out and take my warm blanket, finished. So come out of this coldness in your thinking. What they call the past wars—the World Wars, the Cold Wars—that Cold War lasted only for some years. But the cold war which is going on within you, that’s very destructive. So simply say today: "I personally will forgive everything, understand everything." And mantra. A mantra. A mantra to purify all negative energy, or karma, or what you call sin. Where an axe is needed, we cannot work with a needle. Therefore, for everything there is a specific mantra. And the king of all mantras is your Guru's om. Aum is the origin. The entire resonance in this universe emanates from Aum. So, mantra dīkṣā, to receive a guru mantra, does not mean you do not practice different mantras for specific purposes, for purification.
