A mantram depends for its effect not only upon repetition (which brings about concentrated attention) but also on its sound (which brings about a subtler mental contact). The latter may be lower psychic or higher spiritual, according to the word used. This is important to remember for though any one of these effects justifies calling the word or phrase a mantram, both in combination provide it with the fullest power and the complete function.
