STRESS, WRITING AND READING: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

As and when one gets the intense urge to share one’s desires, passions, needs, feelings, thoughts, imaginations, intuitions, dreams and convictions; one is motivated; to talk, sing, dance, write, paint etc.

The activity of sharing becomes a pleasurable lifeline!

It gives immense pleasure, when it is easy to share; such as experiences of food, romance, sightseeing, traveling; or sentiments and aspirations of; love, care, money, power, publicity etc. The feelings of anger, revenge, insecurity, fear etc are also easily shared.

The gratification from such sharing, however; fades through time and one is left to bask in the glory of bygone past, or get depressed!

But sharing the aspirations of welfare of universe is very difficult to articulate and share effectively. This is because such aspirations have a relatively weak physiological substrate or template in the brain, in the form of cerebral cortex; as against the other aspirations which are strongly supported by subcortical structures in the brain.

Hence; the TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT (not merely the individual stress, tensions etc and their ad hoc, reductionist and escapist stress management or stress relaxation) and the concept, scope and potentials of NAMASMARAN; are difficult to articulate and share! Moreover; they do not produce instant results!

We have to keep reminding ourselves; that; “even though the TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT is the holistic and most urgent solution to the universal stress, it is very difficult to comprehend, appreciate and practice”! This makes us; patient and strong enough; to practice and share TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT without getting depressed and frustrated.
