Bhagavadgeeta implies; “Our turning towards (in acceptance); the Absolute Truth"; by overcoming the enormous dragging by the MOHA i.e. the relative truth (from inside and outside).This is exactly implied in NAMASMARAN, which is a constant and continuous reaffirmation of the victory of Absolute Truth over the relative truth, immortality over mortality and infinite over finite. It is an act of victorious celebration (not at all easy; in face of physical pain, incapacitation, old age, poverty, failures, humiliations and all “appearances”, which disturb and destroy our harmony and instigate us; for disapproval, disgruntlement, protest and even indiscriminate violence towards self and/or others).
NAMASMARAN thus involves; the offering of everything; “good and bad” in life and its results (and total surrender) by us; the fallible, weak, humble subjectivity, relative truth (SHISHYA); to the infallible, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent objectivity, Absolute Truth (GURU); thus gratefully welcoming the cosmic objective desire to manifest (GURUKRUPA); towards universal benevolence and individual fulfillment.
Bhagavadgeeta upholds SWADHARMA i.e. doing every action as inspired by the Absolute Truth; which is exactly the case in NAMASMARAN. NAMASMARAN is therefore the choicest and supreme act of assertion.
