Mantra,
which is a repeated phrase, is designed to keep your consciousness
centered. It’s a perspective giving device. It’s adding a third
component to every relationship you have with object in the universe.
This could be OM, this could be the sun, this could be Buddha
consciousness, this could be called the witness, it’s Self-remembering
in the Gurdjieff system. It’s a technique of adding a third component in
order to get free of the identification with either of the other two.
You can use the mantra to find a center in yourself and to keep that
third component going. Which allows you to watch your own drama all day
long. It’s all a vehicle, and it’s going to have to go. But mantra is a
useful vehicle.
