 > what is the point of chants or mantras? 
Dear Kristina. 
 6 years ago I was advised by a friend to start writing. 
Ohm Sri Sai Ram in a note book a page a day. (three repitions on each line 
of the page) 
On questioning this I was advised that it was like puting money in the 
spiritual bank but not to look for an end result. I took this as it was 
offered an act of love. so further questions seemed irrelevant. 
I have continued this and my mind has become virtually silent and on the 
whole if thoughts do appear they are mainly of a peacefull variety compared 
to the garbage, incessant noise that I used to experience. 
While I am writing I tend to repeat the words softly. 
I used to do the Gayatri Mantra 3 times a day and Ohm Nama Shivia also but 
have got a bit lazy. So somtimes I do somtimes I dont. 
Overall I feel that Mantrs area powerfull aid at least for a period of time 
but eventually all concepts must go as the very thing that helps eventually 
binds you, conditions you. Ultimately all teachings are sign posts helpfull 
for a time but I feel that I have come to the point of realising that I have 
been looking for That which I allready am. So now I wait patiently for the 
Grace of---------- 
Hope this helps 
Chris
