Nama Article 10th June 2012

Nama Article 10th June 2012

 

Source: Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi

 

Talk 482.

 

Devotee.: Quite true. I see the force of the words. But yet are not mantras, etc., helpful?

 

BHAGAWAN RAMANA MAHARISHI.: They are helpful. What is mantra? You are thinking of the simple sounds of the mantra. Repetition of the same excludes all other thoughts. The single thought of the mantra japa remains.

 

That too drops away giving place to the Infinite Self, which is the mantra itself.

 

Mantra, dhyana, bhakti, etc., are all aids and finally lead to Swarupa, the Self, which is they themselves.

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
