---

The mantram is a statement in words or a symbol in picture which declares some truth of higher being, law, attribute, and help, or reminds one of a moral quality to be practised, or acts as a useful self-help self-suggestion. The words can be taken from any inspired scripture, writer, or poet or can be quotations from a philosopher of insight and used as an invocation or affirmation. They should be timely, fitted to the immediate spiritual need of the person.
