Just keep the focus on the mantra

Even though your mind may be very distracted during your meditation, don’t worry about that. Just keep the focus on the mantra, keep coming back to it and you are on course. And thirdly, you could think of the mantra as a plough. Think of a farmer making a furrow in the field so that he can plant the seeds for future growth. You are creating the space in yourself for further growth. So those are simply little metaphors that may help you to understand what it is you are doing. What the meaning of the experience is.
