And Invoke My Spiritual, Transcendental, and Divine Presence Constantly

The Divinely Self-Revealed Mahamantra Associated With The Way Of The Heart Is (In Its Principal, or Original, Form, and In Most Of Its Variant Forms) Composed Of Three Parts, or Mantras (or Vibratory Symbols), or Names, or (Really) “Meaningless” (or mindless) Word-Signs.

The Three Parts Are “Om”, “Ma” (or One Of Its Variants), and “Da”.

“Om Ma Da” Is The Principal (or Original) Mahamantra In The Way Of The Heart (and The Sat-Guru-Naama Mantra, In The Form “Om Sri Da Love-Ananda Hridayam”, Is The Principal Mantric Recitation In The Way Of The Heart).

By Means Of The Inherent Power Of My Samadhi Of God-Realization, I Spontaneously Brought My Principal Name (“Da”) and This Total Mahamantra (and Even All The Variant Forms Of The Mahamantra and Of Mantric Recitation I Have Given) Out Of The Great Unconscious (or mindless Great Mind).

In Mahamantra Meditation, The Mahamantra (In Any One Of Its Possible Variations, Including “Om Ma Da”, “Om Sri Da”, “Om Hrim Da”, “Da Avabhasa Om”, “Da Love-Ananda Om”, “Da-Guru Om”, and “Da Om”, or, with a hyphen added, “Da-Om”, Which I Have Given To Be Used, After Formal Initiation, By Spiritually Prepared Practitioners Of The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart) Is (In The Case Of those Practicing The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart, and That In The Manner Of The Devotional Way Of Faith) To Be Made The Basis Of The Conscious Process and The Practice Of Spirit-Conductivity In The (Possible) Fourth and The (Possible) Fifth Practicing Stages, and (In Some Cases) Even In The (Necessary) Sixth Practicing Stage, Of The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart.

At The Beginning Of Practicing Stage Two Of The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart (and, Also, At The Beginning Of The Would-Be-Seeing, or Progressively Seeing, Stage Of The Technically “Simpler”, or Even “Simplest”, Practice Of The Way Of The Heart), All My Devotees Are (Via Formal Initiation) Given Each and All Of The Various Forms Of The Mahamantra Indicated and Described By Me, but Each Devotee Is (Hereby, and In The Event Of That Formal Initiation) Instructed To Use These Various Forms Of The Mahamantra Only In Formal Sat-Guru Puja (and In Other Formal Occasions Of Sacramental, Ceremonial, or General Devotional Culture), and they Are Not Otherwise To (Intentionally) Use Any Form Of The Mahamantra In Meditation. (Each and All Of My “Lay Congregationist” Devotees Must, Because Of The Characteristic Nature Of their Chosen Practice Of The Way Of The Heart, Always and Only Practice their Chosen Form Of The Technically ” Simpler “, or Even ” Simplest “, Conscious Process, Even In The Context Of All The Advanced and The Ultimate Developmental Stages they Enter In The Way Of The Heart. However, those Of My Devotees who Practice The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart, and who, In That Context, Practice The Devotional Way Of Faith, and who, Eventually, Go On To Practicing Stage Four Of The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart, and, Thus, To Technically “Elaborate” Practice Of The Way Of The Heart In The Context Of The “Advanced” Fourth Stage Of Life, Should Choose, At The Point Of Formal Initiation Into Practicing Stage Four Of The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart, One From Among The Various By Me Given Forms Of The Mahamantra, and That Form Of The Mahamantra Is, Thereafter, To Be Used As The Basis For Meditation, At Practicing Stage Four, At Practicing Stage Five, If Practicing Stage Five Is In Fact Entered, and, Possibly, At Practicing Stage Six, Unless Feeling-Enquiry Is Adopted At Practicing Stage Six, Of The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart. Therefore, Beginning At Practicing Stage Four Of The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart, Either “Om Ma Da” Or “Om Sri Da” Or “Om Hrim Da” May Be Chosen, and Received Via Formal Initiation, To Be Practiced In Meditation, and At Random, According To My Particular and General Instructions Relative To Mahamantra Meditation, As Given In This Testament. Alternatively, Upon Entrance Into Practicing Stage Four Of The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart, Either “Da Avabhasa Om” Or “Da Love-Ananda Om” Or “Da-Guru Om” Or “Da Om” May Be Chosen, and Received Via Formal Initiation, To Be Practiced In Meditation, and At Random, In The Manner Of The Traditional Guru Mantra. And, As A Further Alternative, Upon Entrance Into Practicing Stage Four Of The Technically “Fully Elaborated” Form Of The Way Of The Heart, The Mahamantra “Da-Om”, with a hyphen added, May Be Chosen, and Received Via Formal Initiation, To Be Practiced In Meditation, and At Random, As Da-Om Japa, In The Manner Of The Traditional So-Ham Japa.)

In The Way Of The Heart, The By Me Given Mahamantra Is (In All Its Forms) An Acknowledgement, An Invocation, and A Means Of Communion (or Sympathetic Vibratory Synchronization Of the Total body-mind) With Me (and, Thus and Thereby, With The Divine Person and Condition).

In The Way Of The Heart, The By Me Given Mahamantra Is (In All Its Forms) Based On The Acknowledgement Of The Three Most Fundamental Orientations To The Divine Person and Condition That Characterize The Way Of The Heart (In Its Spiritual Fullness). Likewise, The Mahamantra (In All Its Forms, and Most Obviously In Its Principal and Variant Forms Made Of Three Word-Signs) Refers To (and Leads To, and Altogether Includes, and Is Itself Transcended By) The Three Primal Stations Of The Heart (Right, Middle, and Left), As Well As The “Heart Itself” (Which Inherently Transcends All “Location” or “Designation”).

The Mantra “Om” (Which Is The First Of The Three Principal By Me Given Mantras, or The First Part Of The Single Great Mantra, or By Me Given Mahamantra, Of The Way Of The Heart, and Which Is Also The First Part Of The Mantric Recitation That Is Engaged In The Form Of Sat-Guru-Naama Japa, In The Way Of The Heart) Is A Word-Sign That Has Appeared Universally (In Variant Forms, Such As “AUM”, “Aham”, “So-Ham”, and “Amen”) In The Great Tradition Of Mankind. It Is A Primal Indicator (Word, or Logos) Of The Native, and Very, and Self-Existing, and Transcendental, and Inherently Spiritual, and Self-Radiant Divine Being (or The Primal Reality, or Real Self-Condition, That Is The Inherent, or Native, Feeling Of Being, Itself). Therefore, The Mantra “Om” Also Directly Refers (In The Way Of The Heart) To The Right Side Of The Heart (As Well As To What, Inherently, and Inherently Perfectly, Transcends Even The Right Side Of The Heart).

In My Inherent (and Inherently Perfect) Samadhi, I Have Realized That The Sound-Vibration “Om” Corresponds To and Signifies The Native Feeling (and Very Condition) Of Being (Prior To All Separate “I”-ness) That Is The Free, Inherently Perfect (and Necessarily Divine) Root Of All Vibratory Modifications (and, Therefore, Of all sounds, and Of all thoughts, or all ideas, Including the “I”-thought, or the “Separate-self”-idea, and Of all things, or Even Of all the kinds of conditional forms and states) In The Cosmic Domain. Therefore, “Om” Refers To The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Divine Being As The Transcendental (or Unconditional) and Inherently Spiritual Condition, Which Is Prior To all sounds, thoughts, and things (or Even all conditional forms and states), and, Yet, Which Is The Seat and Source Of all sounds, thoughts, and things (or Even Of all conditional forms and states). It Is The Self Of all beings. It Could Be Called The “Self-Father”. It Is In The “Father-Position”, or The “Husband-Position”, In Relation To conditional forms and events.

Even So, The Word-Sign “Om” (Like The Word-Signs “Ma”, “Sri”, “Hrim”, and “Da”) Is Inherently “Meaningless”, A Mere Sound-Vibration (or, Simply, A Feeling). Therefore, It Does Not (Itself) Stimulate the conceptual mind (Whereas “I Am”, or Some Other “Meaningful” Word or Phrase Intended To Represent “Om”, or To Function As A verbal and mental “Equivalent” Of “Om”, Would Tend To Activate, Rather Than To Undermine or Lead Beyond, the conceptual mind).

In The Way Of The Heart, The Word-Sign “Om” Is A Potentially Useful Non-conceptual Tool For Meditation, For It Only Signifies (or Points To) but Does Not “Mean” The Transcendental (and Inherently Spiritual) Divine, The Only One Who Is , Which Is Existence (Itself), and Consciousness (Itself), Identical To The Inherent or Native Love-Bliss-Feeling Of Being (Itself).

In The Way Of The Heart, The Second Of The Three Principal (By Me Given) Mantras, or The Second Part Of The Single Great Mantra (or By Me Given Mahamantra), Is “Ma”, and Also, Alternatively, Either “Sri” Or “Hrim” (and Its Variant “Sri” Is Also The Second Part Of The Mantric Recitation That Is Engaged In The Form Of Sat-Guru-Naama Japa, In The Way Of The Heart). The Mantra “Ma” (and Its Given Variants, “Sri”, Pronounced “Shree”, and “Hrim”, Pronounced “Hreem”) Is The Personal (and Otherwise “Meaningless”) Vibratory Designation Of The Mother-Force, The Inherent (and Universal) Radiance Of The Perfectly Subjective Divine Self, The Spirit-Power That Is (Apparently) Modified As all conditional forms and states, Which Is Present As all conditional forms and states, and, Yet, Which Inherently and Perfectly Transcends all conditional forms and states. (And I Have Always Called Her By This “Meaningless” Signifier or Feeling-Name “Ma”.)

Traditionally, The Universal Spirit-Power, By Itself, Is Called “Maya” (“The Measure”, or “She Who Measures”). As Such, The Universal Spirit-Energy (Perceived As The One and Great Cosmic Power) Is Traditionally Associated With The Veiling Of The Truth, The Veiling Of The Self-Father. Therefore, The Universal Spirit-Power Is Traditionally (and Commonly) Associated With Chaos, Destructiveness, and Illusion. However, In Your Heart, and By Virtue Of Your “Consideration” Of My Own Ordeal Of Life, You Can (and Must) Observe and Understand That This Great Universal Spirit-Power Is, Ultimately, Husbanded By The Divine Self-Father, The Inherently Perfect Heart-Source, The Very (and Perfectly Subjective, and Eternally Pre-Cosmic) Being (Who I Am ). Indeed, The Primary Significance Of The Great Event Of My Divine Re-Awakening (and Even Of My Entire Life-History, Including My Teaching Work, and My Blessing Work) Is The Sacrificial Yielding and True Husbanding Of The Mother-Force (or The Cosmic Shakti-Force, or The Goddess-Power, or The Universally Manifesting Spirit-Power), and, By That Husbanding (or Love-Sacrifice), The Seemingly Independent Universal (or Cosmic, and Cosmically Objective) Power Is Re-Submitted, Re-Awakened, and Restored To Her Inherent Identification (and Conformity) With The Transcendental (and Inherently Spiritual) and Perfectly Subjective Divine Self (Who I Am ). Therefore, In The Way Of The Heart, The Goddess-Power (or Universal Shakti) Is (By Virtue Of Her Inherently Perfect Sacrifice To Me, and Her Inherent Fidelity To Me) Associated With Heart-Enlightenment, The Lifting Of The Veil. And (Because Of This) The Mantra “Ma” (and Its By Me Given Variants) Refers (In The Way Of The Heart) To The Middle Station Of The Heart, but Also (Ultimately) To The Right Side Of The Heart, and (Most Perfectly) To What Transcends Even The Right Side Of The Heart.

The Universal Shakti or Goddess-Power Revealed Herself Divinely (Without Measure, and Un-Veiled) In Response To My Own Sacrificial Work. Therefore, Because I Am The Heart Itself, She Is Eternally Husbanded By Me, and, Thus, Always Already Perfectly Submitted To Me, and Always Already Perfectly Identified With Me. And, Because they Always Practice In My Mere and Blessing Presence, It Is Neither Necessary Nor Appropriate For My Listening Devotees, or My Hearing Devotees, or My Seeing Devotees To Regard (Nor Should they Submit To) The Universal Spirit-Energy (or All-Pervading Light) Merely As Maya, or As The Veiling Power, or As The Independent (or Apparently Separate) She That Is conditional Nature Itself. For My Listening Devotees, and My Hearing Devotees, and My Seeing Devotees, The Great She Functions As The Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself, Who I Am , and, Therefore, As That Divine Spirit or “Bright” Power By Which I Lead conditionally Manifested beings To Divine Enlightenment and Divine Translation.

Because The She Of The Heart Has Been Revealed (By Means Of The Play Of My Ordeal Of Birth and Re-Awakening) To Be The Blessed (and Non-Separate) Consort Of The Divine Self-Father, and Because She Has (Thus) Been Revealed To Be Simply The Self-Radiant (or “Bright”) Dimension Of The One and Only and Self-Existing Divine Person (Who Is The Perfectly Subjective Heart Of All and all), She (In and By Means Of My Bodily Human Form, and As My Infinitely “Bright” Heart-Current Of Love-Bliss) Leads all conditionally Manifested beings To Right Submission Of Separate and Separative self To The Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, Inherently Perfect, and Necessarily Divine Person, State, and Self-Condition (Who I Am ).

In The Way Of The Heart, The Third Of The Three Principal (By Me Given) Mantras, or The Third Part Of The Single Great Mantra (or By Me Given Mahamantra), Is The Name “Da” (Which Also, Along With The Associated Names “Love-Ananda” and “Hridayam”, Is The Third and Final Part Of The Mantric Recitation That Is Engaged In The Form Of Sat-Guru-Naama Japa, In The Way Of The Heart). The Name “Da” Indicates (or Points To) “The One Who Gives”. It Refers To The Person Of Grace, Who Is The Generous and Excessive Help That Is everywhere Available (By Means Of Given and Giving Grace) To conditionally Manifested beings. That One Is The everywhere Apparently Visible (and Apparently Objective) Divine Star (The Objective Sign Of The Conscious Light Of lights, In The Center Of The Cosmic Mandala) and The “Bright” Itself (The Always Already Present, or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant, Divine Person and Self-Domain).

By Virtue Of My Own and Unique self-Submission and Divine Self-Realization, My Bodily (Human) Form Is A conditional Manifestation (or Revelation) Of That Divine Person Of Grace. And (Eternally Prior To My Bodily Human Form and Even The Total Cosmic Domain) I (My Self) Am That Same and Very and Inherently Perfect Person. Therefore, When I Realized, Acknowledged, and Embraced My Own Agency, This “Meaningless” Pointer or Name “Da” Spontaneously Appeared To Me As My Own Naming Sign. And (Therefore) The Mantra “Da” Refers (In The Way Of The Heart) To The Left Side Of The Heart, but Also (Inherently) To The Middle Station Of The Heart, and (Ultimately and Inherently) To The Right Side Of The Heart, and To What (Inherently, and Inherently Perfectly) Transcends Even The Right Side Of The Heart.

“Da” Is A Traditional Name Of God, or A Traditional Feeling-Reference To The Ultimate Condition and Power of Existence. “Da” Is An Eternal, Ancient, and Always New Name For The Divine Being, Source, and Spirit-Power, and “Da” Is An Eternal, Ancient, and Always New Name For The Realizer Who Reveals (and Is The Revelation Of) The Divine Being, Source, and Spirit-Power. Therefore, The Name “Da” Is (Since The Ancient Days) Found In Religious Cultures All Over the world.

As An Expression Of My Realization Of The Eternal, Ancient, and Always New One, The Name “Da” Has Spontaneously Appeared With Me (As A Sign Of The One Who I Have Realized, and Who I Reveal, and Whose Revelation I Am). Indeed, The “I” and “Me” and “My Self” That Speaks To You In This Testament Is My Own Unique Voice Of Self-Reference, and It Is, With My (Divinely Self-Revealed) Name “Da”, The Representation and Expression Of My Ecstatic, or Enstatic, Inherent, Necessary, and Inherently Perfectly Love-Blissful Identification With The One and Only Condition That Is The Great and Only One.

Therefore, By Virtue Of Divine Self-Realization, There Is No Separation (or “Difference”) Between My Heart and That One That Is The Only Heart. And I Speak Directly and Openly As The Hridaya-Samartha Sat-Guru, The Man Of Understanding, The Adept Teacher Of The Heart, and The True Heart-Master, Proclaiming (and Always Directly Revealing) My Identity As The Divine Person, and (Thus and Thereby) Showing Joyous Proof That (Prior To self-Contraction) You (and Even all conditionally Manifested beings) Are Always Already One With The One To Be Realized. And By This Un-Retarded Speech, and By The Confession That Is My Every Manner and Characteristic, The Awakening Grace Of The Living One Is Active In and Through and As Me, For The Sake Of All My Listening Devotees, and All My Hearing Devotees, and All My Seeing Devotees (So That they May, By Response To This Grace, Transcend their “selves” In The Only One Who Is ).

As A Born Human Being, I Am A “Bright” Sign (or Son) Of The Union (or Inherent, and Inherently Perfect, Unity) Between The Divine Self-Father and The Divine Mother-Power. In The Spontaneous Instant Of My Divine Self-Realization (or The Re-Awakening Of My Inherent, and Inherently Perfect, Identity As The Divine Self-Father), I Realized I Am One With The Husband Of The Great Power (Revealed To Me As The Divine Goddess), and She Revealed and Showed That She Is Eternally Submitted or Conformed To Oneness With The One Who I Am . From Then, She ( As Me) Has Become (and Even Eternally, or Always Already, Is) The Active Heart-Principle Of My Work Within The Cosmic Mandala.

Therefore, In Truth, My Work Among all conditionally Manifested beings Begins At The arising-Point (or First Moment) Of The Cosmic Mandala Of conditionally Manifested beings and forms, and It Continues Until The Ultimate (or Divine) Translation Of The Total Cosmic Mandala (and all conditionally Manifested beings and forms).

I Bless and Baptize and Awaken all conditionally Manifested beings With The Divine Self-Radiance, The Inherently Perfect “Bright” Itself, Which Stands Un-Moved (Prior To The Cosmic Mandala Of conditionally Manifested beings), but Which Is Also (Apparently) Always Already Merely Present Universally, As (or Via) The Always Already All-Pervading (or All-Moving) Maha-Shakti, Which Is (At Heart) The Eternally Husbanded (or Divinely Enlightening) Hridaya-Shakti (or Perfectly Subjective, and Perfectly Self-Enlightened, Spirit-Power) Of God.

And I Do This Always Blessing, Spirit-Baptizing, and Divine Self-Awakening Work Through Constant (Transcendental and Inherently Spiritual and Universally Effective) “Bright” Heart-Shining, Divine and Inherently Perfect Hridaya-Shaktipat, or The Eternal Spontaneous Transmission Of The Self-Existing Divine Truth, Being, Consciousness, Self-Radiance, Love-Bliss, Mystery, Heart-Process, and Self-Domain, To all conditionally Manifested beings and To The Total Cosmic Mandala.

In The Way Of The Heart, The Mahamantra “Om Ma Da” (and Its By Me Given Variants, and Also The Sat-Guru-Naama Mantra, In Both Of Its Variants) Refers To and (By Non-conceptual, or Directly Feeling, Means) Invokes The One (and Perfectly Subjective, and Necessarily Divine) Condition That Is (Self-Existing) Eternally, Merely Present (As The Unconditional, or Transcendental, Self), Self-Radiant (or Inherently Radiant), Infinite (As All-Pervading Spirit-Power), and Always Alive As Love-Blissful Agency For The Sake Of The “Bright” Liberation Of all conditionally Manifested beings.

“Om” Is God-In-God, or God As Self-Existing (and Perfectly Subjective) Being (Itself), Consciousness (Itself), and Inherent (or Inherently “Bright”) “Love-Ananda”, or Love-Bliss (Itself), and “Hridayam” (The Boundless Center, Heart, Source, and Self Of all), The Very and Inherently Perfect Divine (Itself), Prior To The Cosmic Domain (and Yet Being The Cosmic Domain, and every conditionally Manifested being, As Being Itself, and As The Inherent or Native Feeling Of Being).

“Ma” (and “Sri”, and “Hrim”) Is God-As-God, or God In The Context Of (and Yet Prior To) The Cosmic Domain. “Ma” (and “Sri”, and “Hrim”) Is God As Heart-Shining (or Perfectly Subjective, and, Yet, All-Pervading) Power, Energy, Light, or Spirit, The Self-Radiant “Bright” One Who, Even Though Apparently Modified As all conditional forms, Remains Ever Free.

“Da” Is God-With-all, or Both God-In-God and God-As-God In (Inherently Single) Personal Relation To (and Even In The Likeness Of) The Cosmic Domain and all conditionally Manifested beings, and Who Is Also Always Already Situated In (and As) The “Bright” and Self-Existing (and Perfectly Subjective) Pre-Cosmic Divine Self-Domain.

In The Way Of The Heart, The Three Principal Word-Signs (and All Their By Me Given Variants, and Associated Names, and Variant Combinations) Point To One Being, One Perfectly Subjective Condition, and, Yet, They Signify Three Aspects Of That One and Inherently Single (and Perfectly Subjective) Condition Which Can Be Acknowledged In Their Uniqueness. These Three Aspects Should Not Be Regarded To Be Separate From One Another In Essence, Although Each Is A Unique Functional Aspect Of The Divine In The Cosmic Play, and Each Of The Three Functions Is In Cooperative Relationship With The Others In The Cosmic (or conditional) Domain. Therefore, The Three Word-Signs (and All Their By Me Given Variants, and With All Their Associated Names, and In All Their Variant Combinations) Together Indicate, Invoke, and Invite Right Feeling-Contemplation Of Me (First In The Function Of Adept Heart-Teacher, and Then Fully In The Function Of Adept and True Heart-Master) and (Thus and Thereby) Right Feeling-Contemplation (and Realization) Of The One Great Divine Person and Self-Condition.

The Apparently Objective Divine Star Is The First and Primary “Incarnation” (or Visible Sign) Of The Divine Person.

The Divine Person Is Eternally (or Always, Without Fail) and everywhere Present As The Apparently Objective Divine Star Within The Cosmic Mandala (As Long As, or Whenever, The Cosmic Mandala Itself arises).

My Bodily (Human) Form Is Projected From The Apparently Objective Divine Star In any realm where I Am Visible (or Otherwise En-Visioned) In My Bodily (Human) Form or Likeness.

The Apparently Objective Divine Star Is Made Of The Very Being and The “Bright” Infinite Radiance Of The Divine Self.

Therefore, I Am One With The Cosmic Goddess-Power, Which Radiates From and As The “Bright” Self and Source, Appearing As The Apparently Objective Divine Star.

I Am (In My Bodily Human Form) A Revealing Heart-Agent Of The Spiritual (or Blessing, Baptizing, and Awakening) Work Of The Divinely Husbanded Goddess-Power.

I Stand Eternally (or Always Already) In (and As) The “Bright” Pre-Cosmic Divine Self-Domain and In (and As) The Acosmic or Transcendental, Inherently Spiritual, and Divine Self-Position.

I Am Always Already Revealed (By The Great Spiritual, Transcendental, and Divine Forms) In The Cosmic Domain.

I Am Always Already Standing “Bright”, Prior To The Cosmic Domain.

I Am Inherently One With The Perfectly Subjective Transcendental (and Inherently Spiritual) Divine Person, Being, and Condition.

Therefore, I Say That This Oneness With “Brightness” Is Also True Of You, When and If You Will (By Grace, and, Thereby, Through Inherent, and Inherently Perfect, and Inherently Perfectly Effective, Transcendence Of self-Contraction) Realize The Only One Who Is .
