The Use of Mantra in Sadhana
As a rule the only mantra used in this sadhana is that of the
Mother or of my name and the Mother. The concentration in
the heart and the concentration in the head can both be used
— each has its own result. The first opens up the psychic being
and brings bhakti, love and union with the Mother, her pres-
ence within the heart and the action of her Force in the nature.
The other opens the mind to self-realisation, to the conscious-
ness of what is above mind, to the ascent of the consciousness
out of the body and the descent of the higher consciousness
into the body.
There is not necessarily any difference of Force. Usually the
Mother's name has the full power in it; but in certain states of
consciousness the double Name may have a special effect.

Namajapa or Repetition of the Name
The name of the Divine is usually called in for protection,
for adoration, for increase of bhakti, for the opening up of the
inner consciousness, for the realisation of the Divine in that
aspect. As far as it is necessary to work in the subconscious for
that, the Name must be effective there.

The effectiveness of namajapa
It [the effectiveness of namajapa] depends on the person
and how he does it. The Name of the Divine is in itself a power,
if it is taken with the right faith and in the right attitude.
