The mantram is a means of awakening the power of concentration. But all mantrams differ from one another and thus introduce a secondary effect or influence. The meditation is the primary work, the concentration being intended to develop power for it: the form of the mantram is shaped by its object--communion with God, cultivation of a virtue, and so on.
