Benefits of Japa/ Jesus mantra = LOVE, HEART connection

[Guest guest]

Perhaps the most important thing about the mantra you or your guru

chooses for you is that you LOVE YOR MANTRA; then it will draw the

mind into the HEART easier.

 

"Perhaps the oldest and most universal method( in all traditions )

is to practice what Christians call prayer in the heart. Theophan

the Recluse, an Eastern Orthodox mystic, explains how it works:

 

In order to keep the mind on one thing by the use of a short prayer,

it is necessary to preserve attention and so lead it into the heart:

for so long as the mind remains in the head, where thoughts jostle

one another, it has no time to concentrate on one thing. But when

attention descends into the heart, it attracts all the powers of the

soul and body into one point there."
