59.  Cosmic Cycles of the Vibrations of Mantra

The etymology of the word mantra indicates several derivations in the Sanskrit Language; as - 'Mantra  Manata'; meaning, a process or a mechanism regulated by the mind…., 'Mantri Gupta Bhasane', meaning, sublime conversation' is mantra…… etc. The Shatpath Brahmana defines - 'Vagvai Mantrah' meaning, the segments of syllables and accents enunciated by a refined vani.

In scientific terms, the entire system of a human being in this visible world revolves around two major components - the physical body and the conscious mind. The constant functioning of each of them at multiple levels generates (bio) electrical currents through the brain-system. Major activities of the body are accompanied by mutual interaction between its tiny constituent parts - from organ to cellular and molecular levels. The processes of heart-beating, blood flow through the veins and arteries, inhalation and exhalation of air by the lungs, expansion and compression of the muscles, bio-electrical signal (information) processing through the nerves, etc, all produce some kind of friction or titillation in the associated components. This generates specific kind of thermal energy and static electricity.

The thought waves continuously generated from the mind are of electromagnetic type. If we throw a stone in a pond, it will produce certain currents of water, which will flow transversely u[ to the banks of the pond. The universe also is a kind of

a gigantic pond without boundaries' and hence an infinite open 'spherical set' in hyper-geometric sense. The electromagnetic currents produced by our thoughts and emotions are expanded in the limitless domain of this etheric ocean. And, because of the end-less (hence circular) 'periphery of the latter, these waves reach back to their point of origin (i.e. our mind, in this case) upon completing a cycle.

The long journey of the thought waves is not static. A lot of their (bio)magnetic energy is dissipated while interacting with other waves of opposite characteristics (pertaining to the  counter or negative thoughts / emotions). Their confluence with the thought waves of similar qualities, however, strengthens their own power. The super-imposition of these 'matching' thought waves indeed creates a powerful region of attraction and builds up a thought layer or field that could influence other thought waves. Our righteous and saintly thoughts and emotions could this way offer benefits to us and the others as well while compounding their power manifold with each cycle. Such layers of divine thoughts are like clouds, which can enshower a nectar of virtuous inspirations on the entire world.

The Vibration of mantras  carry immense energy that is amplified by the prana and bio-electricity of the body and the sublime currents of spirituality refined thoughts and sentiments of the sadhaka(s).

The simple principle behind our speech or the pronunciation of a word by our mouth is that - the collision of air with specific (as per the movement of the associated components of the mouth) portions of the nervous system produces specific vibrations in the vocal-cord. This apparently physiological process is completely regulated by the mind. It is the unconscious mind that guides the controlling machinery of the brain and hence regulates the movements of the components that 'directly' participate in the process of speaking or singing etc. The instantaneous difference in our voice and pattern of pronunciation of the same word under different moods (mental states) clearly demonstrates this remarkable harmony between the speech-system and the mind.
