I recently noticed that, when I'm off the mantra with thoughts, going back to it (or mantra coming back to me) is happening kind of automatically. I don't have the effort which is "I lost the mantra come back to it". It is more like the thoughts which keep me away from mantra are automatically ended and so there is mantra again. I hope I was able to explain it with my English:) So I know the game is going back to mantra, but is it still ok this way? Anyone else experiencing the same?
It doesn't matter whether the mantra returns voluntarily or automatically. So long as you are going back to the mantra you are doing the practice properly.
