Sure, there is a memory of the mantra and the process, otherwise, how could you come back to the mantra? But the memory is not continously held. The whole process of the mantra getting refined is guided by bhudi, the refined intellect/intuition - who distinguishes between different levels of thought/mantra - automatically, i.e. without the involvement of our mind (manas), which would be the agency of interference or manipulation. ------------------------ Yahoo!
