Mantra Yoga
The Japa of a Mantra can bring the practitioner realisation of his highest goal even though he has no knowledge of the meaning of the Mantra. Only it will take a little more time. There is an indescribable power or Achintya Shakti in the Name of God or Mantra. If you repeat the Mantra with concentration in its meaning you will attain God-Consciousness, quickly.
The repetition of the Mantra removes the dirt of the mind such as lust, anger, greed, etc. Just as the mirror acquires the power of reflection when the dirt covering it is removed even so the mind from which the impurities have been removed acquires the capacity to reflect the higher spiritual Truth.
As soon as you sit for meditation, chant Om loudly 3 or 6 or 12 times. This will drive away all worldly thoughts from the mind and remove Vikshepa (tossing of mind). Then take to mental repetition of OM.
