The real meaning of a Mantra

Swami replied: Mantra constitutes to verbs, 1) mananaat and 2) trayate. The first verb means that your mind must be continuously attracted towards a statement or a poem or a song that makes you repeat it again and again without any trace of effort. The second verb means that such a statement or poem or song must be related to God and hence, it gives you perfect protection from all corners, everywhere and everytime. Therefore, the definition of Mantra is a statement or a poem or a song, which is related to God and attracts your mind spontaneously to make it repeat again and again without any trace of effort.

 

Generally, your attraction to God makes you to be attracted by any statement or poem or song that is related to God. But, apart from the attraction to God, the beauty in the meaning and the beauty in the rhythm of the statement or poem or song make an additional attraction. If both these attractions are in climax, your attraction to God becomes full.
