Sri Sathya Sai Baba teaches Shiva panchakshari mantra (Om Namah Shivaya)

In the discourse 19 feb 2004 Concentration of Mind on the Divine is real sadhana. Swami says:
"Do not divert your attention on physical comforts. Always chant the Panchakshari Mantra, "Om Namah Sivaya". If you merely chant with lips, it will merge into worldly sounds. On the other hand, if you chant the divine name sincerely with full concentration of your mind, it will spread all over the world. Chanting of the divine name with full concentration by the mind is real sadhana".




The greatness of man lies in the fact that by conscious effort it is possible to remove the evil in him. But in the case of other animals, however much they may be subjected to training and education, their base instincts will only lie low, ready to spring up at the slightest provocation. Shivarathri declares that by means of spending one full day in fast and one full night in vigil - as symbolic of conquering the senses by sleeplessly watching their antics and preventing them from inflicting harm - darkness can be turned into light, shavam (corpse) can be sublimated into Shivam (God)....

Strive -- this is your duty. Yearn -- this is your task. Struggle -- this is your assignment. If only you do these, sincerely and steadily, God cannot keep back for long the reward of Realisation. The river strives, yearns and struggles to merge with the sea from which it originates. It has that consummation ever alert in its consciousness. It attempts to make itself pure and pellucid so that it may be welcome by its source. It overcomes every obstacle of terrain in order to journey successfully towards its goal. Man too must utilise all the physical, mental, moral, intellectual, and material endowments that God has granted him so that he may journey to the goal of Realisation....
