Mantra...
ErrorKing gewidmet...
Q: Is there no benefit at all in doing japa with the mouth?
A: Who said there is no benefit? Such japa will be the means for chitta suddhi (purifying the mind). As the japa is done repeatedly the effort ripens and sooner or later leads to the right path. Good or bad, whatever is done never goes to waste. Only the differences and the merits and demerits of each will have to be told, looking to the stage of development of the person concerned.
Q: Is not mental japa better than oral japa?
A: Oral japa consists of sounds. The sounds arise from thoughts, for one must think before one expresses the thoughts in words. The thoughts form the mind. Therefore mental japa is better than oral japa.
Q: Should we not contemplate the japa and repeat it orally also?
A: When the japa becomes mental, where is the need for the sounds?
