The cells and body organs respond habitually to certain forces such as fear, anger, lust, etc. On the other hand, they are insensitive and closed to forces of the higher order such as peace, light, delight, etc. By invoking the Mother, these forces begin to percolate into the body and thereby slowly transform them into hubs, receivers and transmitters of the Divine Forces. It begins by opening ourselves to the Divine Mother, eventually even in the body. It is here that The Mother describes the great impact of the Mantra. It is the most direct way to impact the cells.
Here are some lines from Savitri describing the process.
‘As when the mantra sinks in Yoga’s ear,
Its message enters stirring the blind brain
And keeps in the dim ignorant cells its sound;
The hearer understands a form of words
And, musing on the index thought it holds,
He strives to read it with the labouring mind,
But finds bright hints, not the embodied truth:
Then, falling silent in himself to know
He meets the deeper listening of his soul:
The Word repeats itself in rhythmic strains:
Thought, vision, feeling, sense, the body’s self
Are seized unutterably and he endures
An ecstasy and an immortal change;
He feels a Wideness and becomes a Power,
All knowledge rushes on him like a sea:
Transmuted by the white spiritual ray
He walks in naked heavens of joy and calm,
Sees the God-face and hears transcendent speech:’
