Have you heard the word “mantra”? Have you ever recited any mantra? Many people whom I asked this question, answered “yes”.
Then I asked them again:
“What is mantra ?”
“Why do you recite that mantra?”
“What effect does reciting that mantra have on you?”
I realized that people became surprised when I asked these questions. They did not know what to answer. Some said that they were praying like that because that was a religious teaching they followed. Others said that they did not know the meaning of the recited mantra because it was in language that they did not understand.
Then I asked:
“Why are you practicing something that you do not know? Why do you recite a sentence which meaning you do not know? Do you know whether this mantra is harmful or beneficial to you?”
How about you? What are your answers?
I hope that you remember what the mind is, what it consists of and how the parts of the mind work? If you do not remember, I suggest that you go back now and reread the chapter about the mind, especially instinct. You need to know that in order to understand about mantra.
Mantra is a programming technique where intellect programs instinct, so that some of the instinct functions can be changed. In this technique, a specially constructed sentence is repeated many times. You can say the sentence, sing it or listen to it. If mantra is repeated sufficient number of times, people fall in a state similar to a self-hypnoses or a trance. In this state, intellect is bored, so it does not fully control what is programmed into instinct. Instinct is under stronger influence of the repeated sentence, therefore the result of the mantra is built into the mind.
For your safety and benefit, I suggest that you ask three main questions before practicing a mantra:
If you know the answers and you decide to make the change in your instinct, then the mantra technique could be useful.

The exact meanings of the key words used in this mantra: “Master Creator”, “Life”, “allow”, “Inner Joy”, “Love” and “Light” are explained in the preceding text of this book.
