Mantra Feels Foreign.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Firstly, I want to thank you for your works, which have resonated with me for some time now and given me as sense of validation. Your gift is my reward.
It has been some time since I received my mantra through a PSM instruction here in Sydney. The date of my birth is correct (my mother even chased it down to make sure she was right), but it does not feel like it belongs to me? Why would this be and how may I go into and remain in the gap with ease?
Response:
The mantra is working fine, just as it should. Occasionally, it happens that someone has an uncomfortable association with the mantra that is given to them, or it feels odd or somehow not right. These are just temporary responses due to some past personal experience and if you simply continue with your practice the way you were instructed, it invariably goes away. The mantras work on the principle of resonance at primal levels of nature, beyond our personal likes and dislikes. So your mantra can easily facilitate you going into the gap regardless of whatever your conscious dialogue may be. After all, the gap lies between these thoughts, not in the content of the thoughts.
Love,
Deepak
