sometimes we experience healing through the mantras it flushed out and healers come out so how exactly is this related or understandable in terms of the chanting of the mantras the bhagavatam bhagavatam is an ancient Buddhist text I’ll use the example of how spiritual sound cleanses the consciousness and say blotu shamala vimakrishna shalilas chetha sharad so blotu means cleansing washing shamala vimakrishna all dirt is washed away by divine sound just as a dirty river is flushed away by the autumnal rains when a river because of pollution or whatever sedimentation, rains fall and the rain water just flushes away the earlier water and the river becomes clean so like that similarly when we live in the world and try to get things done often things go wrong, things don’t work out and these various ways in which things may not work out, things may work out partially right, things may go completely wrong so these cause frustrations and these frustrations become emotional blockages and sometimes that frustration may not even come out immediately it may not even be we may not even be conscious, sometimes we are irritable and we if we are not very introspective we may not even understand what made me irritable but may be something happened earlier and then that was when the pressure was there like in a pressure cooker, suddenly it bursts out, the pressure is building continuously, so when it comes back it bursts out so there are various things in life which can cause frustrations now you see there are problems in the outside world, we have to deal with them in a practical way but often when we feel there are emotional blockages then those become a bigger problem than the problem the inner problem, the inner emotional blocking that happens, that becomes a bigger problem than the outer problem because the emotional blockage it blocks our ability to effectively deal with the problem that’s why life determines our problems, we determine their size life determines our problems but we determine their size if we let the problems cause emotional blockages in us then the problems become much much bigger than what they used to be so now these emotional blockages because of that our consciousness becomes sunny, becomes dirty and when we recite the mantra, that is like the autumn rain fall there is a fly of divine love that comes along with the chanting and that flood of divine love just cleanses away whatever is being blocked this does not necessarily mean the problems will magically solve but the problems will not burden us so much so a simple example is if there is a skyscraper and if a person is at the bottom of the skyscraper the skyscraper is huge if the same person is flying an airplane about the skyscraper the same skyscraper is there but the skyscraper is smaller so like that the absorption of the mantra it raises our consciousness up and therefore the problems that appear very big they no longer overwhelm us because we understand that we have a connection with a higher reality and that is how the healing and the tears the healing happens because we experience higher reality higher happiness that is beyond whatever emotional blockages and emotional choking that might have happened because of various frustrations now with respect to the tears tears are broadly two kinds one is the tears of negative emotions the other is the tears of joy so though we may not be able to verbalize the specific reason for the tears but the chanting of the mantras enables the soul to reunite with its eternal beloved the soul’s call for love that is manifest through the mantra it’s fulfilled also through the mantra so although we may not realize it at a conscious level, just like when we meet a friend after many many years, a very cherished childhood friend we meet after 20 years say I feel great joy like the soul is united with the infinite experiences great joy and that joy comes out as tears so those tears are tears of joy and they are very positive at the same time the important thing is that the tears in themselves are not the goal they are the symptoms that we are going towards and tears or no tears if we continue building our consciousness in the mantras contact and connection will keep getting stronger and the experience over time will become sweeter and sweeter tremendous healing will be experienced through the tantric mantras any other questions?
