A mantra, as well as Benson�s neutral word one, has little or no meaning to distract us. Therefore it is an easier vehicle for going inward than prayer or verbal contemplation (in which one takes an aspect of God to think about and dwell on).


1.What does 'one' mean?
--- * Benson's neutral word 'one'?
or * 'people'?
2. What does 'takes an aspect' mean?
--- *'have a shape' ?
or * something else?

Thanks.

"one" means "a person" and I would say "takes an aspect" is "chooses a characteristic"
