Use your mantram when you’re ill or anxious, tired or restless, and it will guide you and comfort you like a true friend.The Mantram, or mantra, is a short, powerful, spiritual formula from the world’s great traditions, repeated silently in the mind, anytime, anywhere. Easwaran, the author of Passage Meditation and the best-selling translations of The Bhagavad Gita, The Upanishads and The Dhammapada, taught the use of the mantram for forty years as part of his passage meditation program.
The mantram can help you to steady your mind and free it from anxiety, anger or resentment. Easwaran explains how the mantram works, and gives practical guidelines for using it to focus your thoughts and access deeper resources of strength, patience, and love.

Quotes

  • Helen Osokinahas quoted6 years ago
    But when you are actually in a depression, it doesn’t really matter what the cause is, any more than it matters at the time what made your car go into a skid. The important thing is that the mind, like the car, is out of control, and that you need to act immediately in order to get control of it again.

    Now I have tremendous respect for anyone who can control his palate enough to learn not only to drink beer but to enjoy it, too. Anyone who has put that much effort into acquiring a taste should certainly be able to put that same effort into setting himself free from the tyranny of likes and dislikes too.
  • Helen Osokinahas quoted6 years ago
    There is a Sufi proverb that each word we utter should have to pass through three gates before we say it. At the first gate, the gatekeeper asks, “Is this true?” At the second gate, he asks, “Is it kind?” And at the third gate, “Is it necessary?”
