Reciting without thought is a practice closer to the truth.
A good practice is to practice without practice.
So, how can one achieve this?
Efforts must be put in.
On the conditioned front, diligence is key,
from the conditioned phenomena of mantra recital
to the manifestation of the unconditioned.
As efforts reach a certain level,
one enters the state of practicing without practice.
Following the familiarity with the recitation of a mantra,
during moments of stillness,
the mantra will naturally arise.
When such proficiency turns into a habit,
becoming one’s ingrained resource,
one can recite without thoughts.
Reciting without thought
is hence a practice closer to the truth.
