I don't think Yogani would say that getting lost in thought and not easily favouring the mantra with your attention, is where the magic is found. I suspect he would say that getting lost in thought and not easily favouring the mantra with your attention, is a sure-fire way to make no progress.
Another word for it is "thinking". 
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it” [Jesus Christ]

Christi, I may be a radical, but I have thought since the beginning that we cannot control our mental focus while doing DM, beyond gently favoring the mantra (returning to it) when we become aware that we are not doing the mantra. It sounds like you are advocating actively terminating thought to direct a return to the mantra, effectively forcing the mantra.
Do I misunderstand? |
