________________
letter or a spell word, a person is completely identified with it, he, at that time, becomes inseparable from the activity he is engaged in, and no different from it. The whole of this process constitutes the consummation of feeling. In this, the recitation and the reciter, the practice of japa and the practitioner, are not two separate things but together constitute a single activity. One may practise the recitation of 'Arham' or some other spell word, but the full measure of its power manifests itself only in combination with bhavana and single-mindedness.
