According to Osho, great mantras descend only when the will-to-power has vanished and the mind is utterly quiet—no ego, no intention, no thought; they are heard in inner silence, not manufactured by repetition. Such mantras naturally resonate with the subtle centers, bringing harmony and openness, whereas mantras used for concentration merely compress energy, create heat, and feed egoic power.
When you stop trying to gain power and rest in deep silence, the true mantra arrives by itself and gently balances your inner energy centers.
