Mantra

After Rupert Spira met his first teacher, Dr. Francis Roles, he learned mantra meditation and was introduced to the classical system of Advaita or Non-Duality, which formed the foundation of his interest and practice for the next 25 years. According to him, the point of mantra meditation is not the words themselves, but the silence of the mind in the gap between the words. Mantra meditation can be used as a half-way stage to move the attention away from other thoughts, feelings, and perceptions.
