Practice of Japa
Sweet Mother, I would like to ask You a few questions regarding
the mantra You have given me.
1. Should one set a precise time for the Japa?

You can do it if you find that it helps you to be regular.

2. Should one do it without eating?

This has no importance.

3. You told me that I can do it sitting or walking. Does this mean
that a fixed place is not important?

One must be able to repeat it constantly with concentration
anywhere.

4. Should I continue at the same time the little fifteen-minute
Japa of Panditji that I am also doing?

You can continue it if you feel no opposition. The aim is to es-
tablish the divine harmony so that no disorder, outer or inner,
has the power to disturb you.

see through with special instruments) and then the beak goes
