Why chant a mantra repeatedly
A mantra, hymn, or stotra is initially a subject of Vaikhari (high pitch). Repeatedly chanting it in Vaikhari (high pitch) forms the subject of Upamsu.
It then becomes the subject of Pashyanti and finally reaches Para. But this process cannot be accomplished through mere mechanical methods. If mechanical methods are accompanied by faith, devotion, and knowledge of the meaning of mantras, then the steps from Vaikhari to Para automatically progress. The loud voice is a three-minute bondage of past, present, and future. Later, this bondage loosens, and the recitation of Dwimiti from Upamshu and Ekmiti from Pashyanti voice becomes one-minute. Some advanced practitioners claim that they performed Mahagayatri Purascharana this morning, i.e., chanting 2.4 million Gayatri Mantras. Hearing this, it is hard to believe.
The reason for this is that a Purascharana that takes at least six months if performed 10 hours a day seems impossible to perform in six hours. Therefore, practitioners claiming to perform Purascharana in six hours or six minutes would be considered foolish (liars) in the eyes of the general public. But these practitioners perform their spiritual practice through Pashyanti or Paravani. This imagination is no longer limited to the ordinary level. Concepts like finiteness, tridimensionality, bidimensionality, one-dimensionality, and non-finiteness are gradually becoming clearer in modern science. For example, the mind, operating in the three-dimensional waking state, comes to a standstill after entering a one-dimensional dream. The pace of time there is completely different from the waking state. Events that occur in five minutes during that time would take five years to complete in the waking state. This is the miracle of Pashyanti.
When a practitioner who has reached Pashyanti is engrossed in meditation in the waking state, there is no knowing when they will enter into trance, when they will enter into the fourth state, or when they will embrace Pashyanti. As usual, while chatting, they suddenly fall into trance. Then, after visiting the deities of various holy places, they return. At the general level, this entire event occurs within a minute of a clock. Only great saints know for how long and when they remain in the five material bodies and for how long they remain beyond the body. Attaining such a state begins with Vaikhari and ends with Para. Therefore, the scriptures advise doing one thing repeatedly. If only mechanicalness prevails, that thing enters the small mind. When mechanicalness is combined with faith, devotion, and knowledge, experience transforms into experience, and experience transforms into realization.
The time period of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahadev is so reduced that thousands of ages pass in a single moment. That is, with a specific mantra Or to reduce the amount of time in the stotra, it is equally important for life to become more and more altruistic.
