I'm so glad you chose my mantra to illustrate that, I've often
wondered where it came from. Trouble is, according to MMY if you know
the meaning of the mantra it won't work, I'll let you know later if
that's the case ;-)
I think this whole siddhi/intention debate has been interesting but
for one obvious oversite; the sidhis, at least as taught by MMY do
absolutely doodley squat. And that is my experience from ten years
practice and fifteen years observation. Sure, they deepen the trance
state but as for getting the desired results I've never seen it.
Any evidence to the contrary greatly appreciated.
Well, I'd stick to what Tat Wala Baba's successor said.
It's also interesting how different texts will sometimes hide the
explanation of mantra in symbol, thus they rely on oral instructions
to explain. The mantra shreeng is another good example of this. For
example the Triput Stotra: "recite the first of thy golden Bija Bakam
placed on Vahni accompanied by Trimurti combined with Sasanka, you
attain all prosperity." Huh?
It's almost completely unintelligible--until the symbolism is explained:
"Bakam", means "crane" actually is twilight language for the letter
"Sa". Vahni or fire is synonymous with the letter "Ra", Trimurti
means the letter "I" (ee) and Sasanka or the Moon is candra-bindu,
the terminator of the mantra (-ng). Together these make the bija
"shreeng".
There are esoteric references hidden here as well which a good
teacher would explain: another inner level.
