And on counting - I am not a big fan of counting. The mind is engaged in counting and not in relaxing and going inward. Now if one wishes to do japa & count , that is fine. Yet if one wishes to go within, to experience Silence, how can that occur with counting.
This approach is for one with a restless mind , with much activity there ( rajas) that it must being doing , doing all the time. So one is lead to counting. Yet if the individual is more serene , a bit more steady in discipline, then one can graduate¹ from this counting.
