What is Mantra "मंत्र"

Question: What is Mantra "मंत्र" ?

Mantra is a thought protection which prevents mind stray from goal. It is a combination of two words - Man 'मन' {Mind ie. logical or illogical thought in greater sense} + tra 'त्र' {To protect} . While we do something or even doing nothing , we get several thoughts, relevant or vague ones in nature. These take our inner self to hover in various known or unknown dimensions of time and imagination involving desired or unexpected actions, words, emotions and consequences. It further dilutes or destroy our focus and determination and sometimes land us in deep false trap of ego, anger, jealousy and lust hence divert us from our true nature of inner self. Here we urgently need a protection and that comes from it. The mantra is protects us from those vague emotions or guides us to focus against roaming aimlessly and motivates us to lead ourselves in focusing the true inner being. It stands as guard between the  positive self and ephemeral negative mind-design and thus brings us back to our foremost journey track. We must be careful while choosing our mantra in life. The positive generates positivity and negative  would divert to endless cycle of self- destruction.
