Hi, I meditate, with like a year break, for about 4 years. I try to focus on a mantra, but the mind uses every opportunity to disturb the silence in between the chanted mantras(i say them mentally actually).

Three years of practice with no seemingly no result, and you advocate to just go on as usual?
Not unusual, I have heard of people who do this for 30 years - with no result.
With what justification do we ask people to waste their time like that?
How is that supposed to change the world for the better?
Tai Chi, as an energy practice, traditionally claims that changes will manifest after about 100 days. Let's be generous and triple that. That means after one year one should at least get
some result of some sorts. It may not be what one expects or hopes for, but some result should manifest and the teacher should help the student to discover it.
