Interpretation of “Ráma” and “Náráyańa” is a discourse given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti on 1978 September 25 in Patna, India. This discourse is the seventeenth chapter of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 2.[1]
Synopsis
Tathápi mama sarvasva Ráma kamalalocana.”
So, all the propensities of the mind should be guided unto a singular entity with a singular name only using one’s own Iśt́a mantra and not any second mantra. That is why Hanumána says, “I always use the word Ráma and never Náráyańa. I don’t know who Náráyańa is.”
So every sádhaka should know that the only mantra in the universe is his Iśt́a mantra. He knows no other mantra.
Anandamurti starts the discourse by explaining the concept of dharana (a dynamic force of concentration within the mind) and its importance to the practice of mind withdrawal. He then explains that the mind's propensities have to be goaded towards the "citta" (objectivated i feeling), otherwise the misguided propensities will create an adverse effect on the mind. next, the citta will be guided towards the ahaḿtattva (the doer I) and the ahaḿtattva towards the mahattattva (pure i feeling). Anandamurti goes on explaining that to achieve a complete freedom from bondage, one has to withdraw all the mental propensities together with the citta, ahaḿtattva and mahattattva and merge them in the Supreme cognition. That last stage is the ultimate goal of human longing.[1]
