" All that is comes from the mind;
It is based on the mind, it is fashioned by the mind"
It is based on the mind, it is fashioned by the mind"

Mantra's are an important aspect of Buddhism |
After he passed away, I forgot about his book and his words regarding the power of mantra's. Moreover, I did not believe that few innocuous words alone can change an outcome. It did not fit into any science or any logic that I had been made aware of.
Sound creates patterns like above in water. The new Science has been named as 'Cymatics' |
Wanting to know more, I searched youtube. I came across a video titled Bringing Matter to life wherein it was shown that sound vibrations can make matter reorganise into specific patterns mimicking life forms, galaxies etc. The video gave me a rude jolt. This could not be real...I reasoned. How can something as fine as sound vibration have the power to create patterns mimicking life forms ??
My question was answered pretty soon ..as soon as I got hold of another book by Swami Vivekananda. In the book, Swami Vivekananda reasoned that ultimately, the greatest power is really in the fine and not the coarse. To explain this concept with an example, I quote from his book..

"..when we see a man lift a heavy weight, we see his muscles swell and all over the body we see signs of exertion. But it is the thin thread like things, the nerves that bring the power to the muscles. If we cut off these nerves..the muscles will not work at all. These tiny nerves bring the power from something finer still... thought... and so on and on"
As I thought about it, it began to make complete sense..a car runs because of fuel transferred to the engine through a thin pipe. Similarly, an electric motor spins because of electricity transferred to it through a thin wire. It quickly struck me that the world being a dream, everything actually comes from the fine and the unknown power of the mind. So it is actually no surprise that the everything which moves in this world ultimately moves from the power of the fine and the unseen.
Researching further to understand why and how mantra's work, it became clear that the ancients understood that sound can make intentions manifest faster in this dream reality. In a sense, they used mantra's as a tool to unify thought patterns and bring it into alignment with the highest and the best desires.
Wow..It was a new perspective which I had gained..I realised that all the power is in the fine and the unseen.. and size alone does not matter...:)
