EGO AND STRESS-- DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
It is common place to feel sad when things, which we do not like, happen, or when things, which we like do not happen around. Usually this leads to perennial and hysterical grumbling and blame game.

But this is not all.

Ironically; the things, which we like and long for; also; when happen around; do not please us! We often see in different media many benevolent activities going on. We see great achievements. We see sublime stories of the successes of mankind. We see manifestations of nobility and magnanimity.

While we do not feel sad as such; we do not feel buoyant as well. Somewhere in the heart of heart we feel dejected, left out and sunken; because we miss the credit or accolades!

Why is this so?

This is so; because we are living superficially. We have not reached our own depths. At this superficial stratum, we are separated from the universe and hence can not relate with and handle the unpleasant as well as pleasant things appropriately.

As we are far away from our own depths; we fail to realize that the roots of these things are very much within us and we can transform, evolve and emancipate unpleasant; or promote and rejoice the pleasant processes of blossoming.
We can experience this if we reach our roots, which are no way different from the root of universe; the source of cosmic romance. This reaching itself is the panacea that ensures and ensues individual and global blossoming.

Reaching the root of universe is the same as transcending the ego. The ego is nothing else but the state of descending and being imprisoned in our sensations, passions, emotions, beliefs, convictions, concepts and ideology.

It is worth noting that; the ego is natural at developmental stages of life. Having ego is not unnatural or abnormal. But because we are merged in our ego unidentifiably; the very thought or imagination of transcending ego and realizing the self; is dreadfully painful, like death.

But as we mature; and actually transcend ego and reach the root of our own being we become truly ecstatic!

Truly; the universal practice of NAMASMARAN with top priority; without fanatic insistence on anything else; is a universal and most fulfilling superactivity that reaches us to our own core i.e. the center of universe; and engenders individual and universal blossoming.

One can also say; The center of universe, the source of cosmic romance and the core of our own selves; referred to as GURU or SACCHIDANANDA; frees us from the imprisonment in our ego; at appropriate times and absorbs us in Him (with ubiquitously benevolent side effects!); by way of prompting the NAMASMARAN.
