If I am not the mind and I have no control over it how can I make it repeat a mantra?

[MM1988]

How?

[How to be wise]

@MM1988 what’s the point in having a written answer to your question. It won’t help you.

[cirkussmile]

Of course you have control over it. If you hadn't you wouldn't be able to repeat the mantra. 

The problem is not to see things as real. The problem is to see things as not real.

@cirkussmile It seems like "you" have control over it but there is no you thats why its called illusion

The same way you do everything else in life.

@MM1988 You can't. But so long as you believe you are real and in control of things, you might as well also apply that delusion to the speaking of mantras.

If you're gonna be delusional, at least be consistent about it.

Otherwise you'll be even more deluded than you already are

Repeating of mantra JUST happens. There is no one thats doing them, only an after thought that says “Oh I’m saying these mantras.” You’re an afterthought. Actions just happen. Haha!

[Joseph Maynor]

Why assume that something has to be caused by you?  Maybe things happen without your willing them to.  Why do we say "that's me" when we're aware of something?  That thing in reality is connected to me!  It can affect me!  I've gotta control it!  I've gotta strategize how to control it!  That little you in the Dream does all kinds of stuff.

All you're aware of is certain sounds, right?

From the neuroscience perspective fluids come together in the brain a few micromiliseconds after an action takes place and says it’s “I.”

Start at 9:15

Both guys are physicists and self realized.

Where are you aiming at ?

In the end, it doesn't even matter!!

Reality is groundless.

@MM1988 good luck repeating the mantra without failing

[MiracleMan]

When you begin the mantra, where did it come from? 

Before you started the mantra, where was it, then when you finished the mantra where did it go?  Who is the one who is repeating a mantra?!  Bahahaha.

I like this question a bit too much.

[Guest Quanty]

You are everything, but in a different setting of perspectives. 

 

Namaste, Mfks!

If I am not the mind and I have no control over it how can I make it repeat a mantra?

 

You are your mind which is why you are compelled to repeat mantras.

 

The controller is the controlled
