Magic of Mantra - The mere utterance of "Ram" or any other Mantra is nothing but a movement of the lips. When, however, the Mantra is "Awakened” that is, when there is Mantra-consciousness — then the Sadhaka can make the Mantra work. - In all cases it is the creative thought which ensouls the uttered sound which works now in man's small “Magic”, just as it first worked in the “Grand Magical Display” of the World creator. God’s thought was the aggregate, with creative power, of all thought. - Each person is Shiva, and can attain His power to the degree his ability to consciously realize himself as such. For various purposes the Devatās are invoked. Mantra and Devată are one and the same. A Mantra - Devatā is Shabda and Artha, the former being the name, and the latter the Devata whose name it is. By practice (Japa) with the Mantra the presence of the Devată is invoked. _____________________________________________ Art: ‘Shiva’ by Rajeshwar Nayalapalli (#RajeshwarNayalapalli) #wisdom #esoteric #symbolism #philosophy #mystery #vedas #hindu #tantric #shiva #shakti #chit #theserpentpower #arthuravalon #eyeofhorus1 #bhramhavaastu #religion #love #india #astrology #numerology #vastu #influencer #magic #spirituality (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPzeoqlFwts/?utm_medium=tumblr
