62. HOLY SPIRITUAL NAME DISTINGUISHED FROM SO-CALLED MANTRAS

            99. In a purely spiritual region, the names or mantras which merely act as instruments of destruction or control and authority have no value, and the holy name which effects liberation of spirit from the thraldom of matter and mind is alone used. We are not, therefore, advocating in any sense the practice of the repetition of the mantras already referred to. They have been mentioned by way of illustration to establish a principle : they do not, however, form part of the practical course of training prescribed in the religion of Saints.
