What is mantra jap or recitation? It is attrition between mind and seed (बीज). Beej is the 'Causal' entity which may be called 'Atma/ आत्मा' too and mind is 'ling'. With attrition of ling and atma power of Causal arise. Without it self realization cannot take place. The attributeless atma is like 'shav/ शव or dead body'. Without arising of the shakti or power it cannot awaken. In this awakening 'mind/ मन' is the prime instigator. With the activity or kriya of mins alone it arises.
In the Upnishads it has been said that Atma + Pranav (ॐ ) is Mind(मन). Seed (बीज) or Atma (आत्मा) is enveloped in the Anatm. Mind is limited by senses (इन्द्रियां), therefore Atma = Seed/बीज part of Causal. Major senses (इन्द्रियां) are sight and hearing; Subject (विषय) is shabd (शब्द) or sound or mantra given by Guru.
By the attack of mind, Knowledge of self (atmagyaan/ आत्मज्ञान) arises in Self or atma,
By the attack of Senses, Manasgyan/ मानसज्ञान (knowledge of mind) arises in our Mind (मन),
By the attack of the subject, Outer knowledge arises in our Senses (इन्द्रियां).
Further, it can be state that
The world we perceive due to outside knoweldge is defect (विकार) of Senses,
The world we perceive in knowege of the mind is defect of mind,
and
The world we perceive in the knowledge of atma is defect of atma.
At the time of knowledge of the self, Atma or self attracts the mind towards itself, mind attracts senses towards itself and senses attract the worldly subjects towards itself. When both mind and senses are neutralized, are still, that is the state of atma.
Creation runnning towards senses and thus make them conscious (चेतन),
Sense running towards mind make it conscious (चेतन),
and
Mind running towards Self make it conscious (चेतन).
This conscious Atma is the real 'witness/ साक्षी'. When this consciousness (चेतना) increases and makes atma powerful, then it is known as 'Shiv/ शिव'. Here 'Anand(आनन्द)/ joy' of meeting of Paramshiv (परमशिव) and Shakti is 'Parmanand/ परमानन्द'. 'Anand' is called Bindu/ बिन्दु. Towards the process of creation, Bindu breaks into Visarg (विसर्ग) or two parts. (Thus to realize Anand we will have to reclaim Bindu or join two parts of Visarg again, that is called process of anihilation). Hence Anand will be achieved only during the destruction of the creation or on path of Nirvan (निर्वाण) and not on the path of creation. Bindu is the Cause, Straight line is subtle action, Triangle is also strange part of subtle and that (triangle) in two dimension is the gross action. ................... Shaktanand.
