The mind is "many-pointed," like the spikes of a porcupine's coat. Your job is to focus the mind, to make it one-pointed, and to eliminate obtrusive thoughts. When you repeat the mantra watch your reactions. There will be a never-ending flow of thoughts and feelings. Watch them, and keep repeating the mantra. Purchase the book Happy For No Good Reason at The Ashram Book Shop.
