Trimantra
That is why you have been told to recite the Trimantra five times in the morning and five times at night.
Dadashri: There is tremendous benefit in reciting it loudly. Unless it is recited loudly, the mechanical process within a person does not stop. This applies to everyone. For me the machinery (mind, intellect, chit and ego) within is shut off, but for others, unless they speak loudly, the machinery within keeps working. Unless a unity between the mind, speech and body (ekatva) is achieved within the benefits of the mantra will not be realized. That is why I tell you to speak loudly, because when you speak loudly, your mind and your intellect will come to a halt. If you speak softly then your mind will bother you from within. Does that not happen to you?
Questioner: Yes it does.
After Gnan you become the pure Soul (shuddhatma), and Chandubhai, your relative self, remains as your neighbor. So when Chandubhai encounters any difficulties in life, you should say, 'Chandubhai, recite the Trimantra at least once. It will lessen your oncoming difficulties.' Chandubhai has to interact in the worldly life and he will encounter obstacles but reciting the Trimantra will reduce the difficulties for him. When the difficulties come, their impact will be reduced. This is why the Trimantra has been placed here.
When you encounter difficulties in your business, you should recite the mantra for half an hour or an hour at a time. You should complete the whole forty eight minutes if possible. Otherwise recite this mantra five times daily. But say all the mantras together and also say Sat Chit Anand along with it. All other mantras of any religion are included in Sat Chit Anand.
The significance of this Trimantra is that it will destroy all your worldly obstacles. If you recite it every morning, all your worldly difficulties will be destroyed. If you need a book to follow, I will give you one. This mantra is written in there. Please take the book from here.
Dadashri: Even the intellect will interfere from within. That is why you are told to speak loudly. And when you are alone by yourself, then say it out loud, loud enough to blow the sky away, because everything within stops when you speak out loud.
Atma Gnan Is Not Attained By Any Mantra
Questioner: Can one speed up the process of SelfRealization by reciting a mantra given by a Guru?
Dadashri: No. The difficulties in your life will be reduced, but only if you say all these three mantras together.
Questioner: Are these mantras not for removing ignorance?
Dadashri: No. The Trimantra is for the purpose of removing the obstacles that come your way in life. The Gnan that I give you is for getting rid of ignorance.
Obstacles Minimized with Trimantra A Gnani Purush will never lead you on a path where your work is futile. He will show you the path of minimum effort.
Reciting the mantras simply prevents you from binding sins or deviating to a wrong path. Even past karmas will be minimized. You only need to recite them repeatedly when you encounter obstacles, otherwise say it five times everyday in the morning and at night.
The Trimantra is such that it benefits those who recite it, whether they understand it or not. But those who understand its meaning will reap a greater benefit. Those who recite it without the understanding will gain limited benefits for having just spoken it verbally. A tape record does not benefit when it plays the
