Is there a scientific proof that mantras work? If no then how does it work? How is such large belief created?
If yes, then how does it work?
First the No: Mantra works by self influencing the mind towards positivity of whatever you are intending with the mantra
The Yes: Mantra has a frequency which aligns with universe and it makes mantra work.
My vote was for No as there is no scientific proof of wether the mantra works or not. So Mantra works but not the way it is proclaimed to work.
One thing lead to another and we started pondering why are we given the life that we are living? Everyone answered differently:
- To find the purpose of life and fulfil the purpose of life.
- To be happy, enjoy life to the fullest and make everyone around us happy
- To do good deeds.
- To Evolve in life.
The 4th answer was mine and Just went on the elaborate it. You wake up every day, eat, perform your duties and go to sleep. There are several interactions and events that happen during your life time. These events help you evolve if you introspect. Your lessons continue till you have learnt it. Then the lessons change as you evolve. They become subtle but still exist. You have to dig deep to be able to uncover the lessons behind incidents.
Universe functions in macrocosm, we exist in microcosm. Macrocosm is well defined, microcosm is left to us.
We evolve within this microcosm and lessons within the microcosm. So life is not about eating, sleeping etc. That everyone does till we are forced or self evolved to learn our lessons. Sometimes its bitter and sometime its sweet. When you can respond to either with a neutral response knowing your hidden emotions is the point where you start your upward movement in life.
For example — something hurts you mentally and there is pain. You accept your pain knowing that there is pain is the point of your next lesson.
Even with the deepest understanding of life, some events will just turn you upside down and lay before you — now deal with it. Your response brings out your evolution.
Everything is part of a plan, just that you don’t know it. If you had known, the life would not be worth living.
I have a very critical view here of sanyas of any form here. If sanyaas is taken at a very young age (unless you had a great evolution in your last life, assuming there is past life) defies the whole purpose of sanyaas. Because your life as sanyaasi (in the current age) is very well defined with all rituals in place. And thus it slows down your evolution. This does not mean that we as non sanyaasis are doing anything great till an understanding or awareness develops within one’s self.
Everyone’s clock is different and ticking, so Introspect. Life is the best teacher if you let it be.
