No mantra is possible without a vision of the supraphysical reality. The vision need not be couched in philosophical language. The philosopher’s business is to look at a proposition, recognize its components and understand the relationship between the components, which gives force to the proposition. The poet’s business is to see the features in his vision and, excited by the vision, create a poem embodying the beauty. The Vedic poet (kavi ) makes us see the vision which he has experienced. A person who repeats the mantra with full faith will eventually have the vision of the non-physical world experienced by the poet.
