why do we chant mantras?

[Rohit]

Be born again and again, miserably and use the intellect to confuse others and create fragmented views., , until one stops identifying the Ego and understand the real nature is the “Self”.

This is what is called suffering through the process of superposition. It is better to keep complete silence than to exhibit utter ignorance.

Interdependent Origination

Ignorance: This is the state in which everything is born into when entering the wheel of becoming.

Ignorance is also the root cause of the false sense of the Atman/Soul/Self, which in turn causes the desperate desire of clinging to life (immortality), which leads to:

Will to Action: Ignorance, the four aggregates giving rise to Consciousness and desires lead to will to act intentionally in a particular way (sacrifices, rituals and chanting mantras), either good or bad, which in turn leads to:

Names and Forms: A psychophysical interaction between organism and the world, which leads to:

Sense Impressions (or conducts): The information about the world derived through the five senses and the mind, which leads to the origination of feelings and emotions, which in turn, leads to:

Attachment: Attachment to things, ideas, names and forms, ideals etc. in the world trough false desires that can never be fully satisfied or fulfilled give rise to suffering, which in turn condemns it to:

Regeneration: The inevitable results of which are ageing and finally the death

And the regeneration of new generations from the past generations continues the whole cycle of being and becoming all over again.

Thanks for those links Pradeep. I started to read and find they are lengthy.

Good sense thank you. I tell my friends that to get unhealthy habits we take only few moments but to correct them we take very long time. Similarly only few instructions are only needed for unhealthy actions but for healthy actions we need lengthy lectures. Please read similar thoughts in my post in the thread DO WE CONSIDER GOD AS HUMAN?
