Hello,
Is it possible to have repetition of the mantra and thoughts at the same time? Sometimes during DM it feels like I am doing both at the same time.
Thanks,
nirmal |

| Yes, it is possible and it is normal. When you realize you are doing so, just go back to the mantra. |

Hello Nirmal,
Yes.It is possible but the mantra should take precedence over the thoughts,in terms of the attention we give it(not the thoughts).It is our main focus. The word used (in the lessons) is 'favour'.One favours the mantra over anything else that occurs or is occuring..Doing both is okay,thinking is okay.Just return to favouring the mantra when your attention is won over somewher else or the thought returns ' hey.. i'm somewhere else and i was repeating that mantra and i am off it, mmmm...better go back to it'.
When one's train of thought goes off in new & novel directions,or strange tangents ,such as when thoughts deep in the subconscious begin to percolate ,;this is probably symptomatic of the ' house-cleaning' processs, evidence of karmic obstructions being continually released.
It's alright ,you just let it happen--Thoughts or no thoughts But all the while you just favor the mantra.
