THEME/S
Q: Is it true that the deep significance of mantras like "Om Śānti" and words like "paix" (peace in French) is lost because of too much familiarity?
A: Yes, it must be the familiarity—for I remember when I first read the Om Shanti Shanti Shanti of the Upanishads it had a powerful effect on me. In French it depends on the form or the way in which it is put.
