Sure sounds that way. There's a level of mantra where--even if your 
mantra is a long chain of sounds--they are experienced as just a mass 
of energy without any separation between word one, word two, etc. As a 
great sage said 'no syllables in a word, no parts in a letter, nor any 
distinguishable words in sentences of sound...'

follow the path of Swami Brahmananda Saravati then one wants to 
experience the universal vision of devata. In that case form follows 
name...
