Okay, nice clear explanation, although one that I don't think would
matter to 99 out of 100 people. But a real distinction nonetheless.
Yea, I think "discursive" is a nice word for it.
Except introducing the mantra is to happen after 30 seconds IF the
mantra doesn't appear on its own, spontaneously. Sheesh. Get
checked, folks. Pay attention this time.
Exactly. IOW, it's a subtle but important distinction for TMers who
know how to meditate properly. It's an important distinction because
you realize that there are some people who will simply never have the
mantra appear on it's own! Others will have intention to sit, close
the eyes and pick the mantra up a very subtle, abstract level right
off and fall in the groove. If they've repeated it enough, that
groove will become automatic, spontaneous, sahaja.
