Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 OM AMRITESWARAI NAMAH IMMORTAL LIGHT - Japa The Importance of repetition Try not to have any break in chanting the mantra even for a moment. Continue repeating the mantra while engaged in any task. Chanting in the mind may not always be possible at first, so in the beginning, practice japa by moving the lips incessantly, like a fish drinking water. If japa is maintained, no useless talk during work will be possible. The mind will always remain peaceful. Modern day diseases are mostly psychosomatic. Japa will bestow good health to both mind and body. If chanting is not possible during a certain task, then pray before starting it: "Lord, give Your blessings so that I may do this work in a manner that pleases You!" At the end pray again to the Lord for forgiving any mistakes we may have committed during the task consciously or otherwise. :: >From the book of Immortal Light - Advice to Householders (english translation of the original Malayalam "Amrita Jyoti") Amma Sharanam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
