No great effort:
the misconception is that the mantra is endlessly chanted, deployed as a means to drive our every thought away - yet this isn't at all what's actually occurring, this isn't about concentration, nor is the mantra being continuously repeated in a forceful way. It's much more subtle than that, joyful, simply thinking a personal vibration in a gentle manner, softly, allowing it take us deep within a silent place of being.
no great effort is required.
really, the mantra is just a faint impression, playing easily through the mind, not forcing our attention but allowing it to come to the mind completely on its own. We think the mantra and the subtle quality of its vibration carries us within. Our purpose is only to remember and there's no qualifying factors here. We're not asked to repeat the mantra any set amount of times and there's no requirements on how often it must be recalled.
we think the mantra in a comfortable, easy fashion.
coming back to it when it's forgotten.
no great effort is required.
and with this -
we find ourselves in meditation.
