"This is the great spell!" Spell, mantra, means a magic formula. What a mantra is has to be understood. A mantra is a very, very special thing to be understood. It is a spell, a magic formula. It implies the phenomenon that whatsoever you have got is not really there, and whatsoever you think you have not got, is there! A magic formula is needed. Your problem is not real! - that's why a magic formula is needed. Osho, The Heart Sutra
´WHEN YOU
ARE YOURSELF, THERE IS TRUTH,
THERE IS BEAUTY, THERE IS GRACE, THERE IS ECSTASY.
OM MANI PADME HUM´
Notes of A Madman
`The mind is energy, in fact, the same energy
that comes through the sun, the same subtle rays. Ask the physicists. They say the mind
has a voltage of electricity, that it is electrical.
If you can focus the mind through a lens, the mantra is a lens, and you go on repeating
Ram, Ram, Ram, or Om, Om, Om, or anything, just one word - if you go repeating and
repeating and repeating it, and the mind's whole energy is centered in that one word - it
becomes a lens. Now all the rays are passing through that lens. Narrowed to one point it
becomes powerful, you can do miracles. Just by thinking you can do miracles.
But remember, those miracles are not spiritual. Power is never spiritual. Powerlessness,
helplessness, to be nothing, is spiritual;. power is never spiritual. This is the
difference between magic and religion; magic is after power, religion is after
nothingness.
Osho, A Bird on the Wing
`A humming sound is heard "Om
Mani Padme Hoo".
This complete Tibetan Mantra comes out from
it. This Mantra-slogan continues to hum in the temple. There is some meaning behind it.
This Mantra goes within our body and excites some wheels in our body and the power of
those wheels begin to rise up. The word 'Om' and its humming are meant to take energy
upwards. Not only 'Om' but the 'Amin' of the Muselmans, and the 'Amen' of the Christians
are forms of 'Om'. The English words omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotence are derived
from 'Om'. Omniscient means one who has seen the 'Om'. The 'Om' means a very huge Brahma.
Omnipresent means one who is with 'Om', Omnipotent means when one who becomes as powerful
as 'Om'. He is now full with the seed of energy like God. This word 'Om' has A, U and M,
has three fundamental sounds in it. If these sounds are systematically repeated, hummed
they seem to raise the energy upward. There are sounds opposite to these which, if they
strike, make the energy go down. So if you see the twist dance, you will find within a
short time that twisting begins within you. Some energy begins to swerve within you.
