I occasionally see people on Facebook refer to their mantra and then state it on Facebook, an example I am happy would be their mantra, but is this really a mantra? Does English have the capacity to be a mantra? Or is it more an affirmation they are referring to? Is an affirmation and mantra the same? English does not have the capacity to function as a mantra, as the language is somewhat limited and does not really convey higher spiritual principles, therefore it does not serve well as one of the worlds spiritual languages. An affirmation, while beneficial, is not the same as a mantra. A Sanskrit mantra is an encapsulation of a Divine principle or state of consciousness, one that is often beyond human expression. In some cases, mantra represents facets of the mind of Divinity. An affirmation reflects a desire and attempts to convince the subconscious layer of the mind that the desire is true in order to focus the subconscious mind on the desire, while a mantra is an expression of a Divine state and has the power to induce that state through japa. A state where the mind is elevated and transformed. Likewise, the Sanskrit sounds are associated with the astral body, so mantra has a profound effect on the astral body, opening the flow of consciousness from the causal body into the physical realm.- Yogi Baba Prem
