Then I started that then Image of Lord or The Mother in heart centre then one day only I can concentrate in heart centre, I am not sticking in one view point or going to last of it, I am changing my theory. Sabse Jada din tak heart centre me presence Raha hai. What can I do? do you tell only one, because you wish it or not but you know it please help
Sadhana is to give oneself to the Divine. It is not a mental method or a technique or a mechanical process that we do to get a certain result. The Mother is not counting which mantra you are using and how many times you are doing the mantra. She is seeing the purpose for which you are doing things. It is not what you are doing but why you are doing that is important. It is not the mind that can do Sadhana. The mind has to be taught to fall quiet. It is the heart that must be engaged in the yoga. The mantra has to arise in the heart, not chosen by the mind as an intellectual exercise.
Take for instance how does one call one’s physical mother? Different people call in different ways according to the language but what is important is that the word through which you call must connect you with the feeling that you are calling your mother. It is this that is important.
So don’t let the mind torment you with its analysis. It doesn’t matter what phrase you use, one phrase or another or different ones at different times. What is important is that the phrase should arouse in you the feeling that you are calling the Divine Mother. It is the faith and the feeling within that gives the energy to the mantra and not the set of words. If you ask me just calling Maa in whatever language is enough. It contains everything within it.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
