STRESS, DREAMS AND REALITY: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Is there any truth in the vision and dreams depicted in religious, philosophical and creative literature, poetry and movies; and the sermons given in schools, colleges and elsewhere?

Yes and No!

Yes; because; there are lot of reformist, revolutionary, philanthropic activities and scientific and technological advances, which have apparently made the life; far less helpless and far more comfortable.

No; because there is far more sophisticated and efficient exploitation of people and far more brutal and widespread destruction of the plants, animals and rest of the nature!

Yes; because we have the privilege of sharing the vision of the seers and no; because; we witness the evils; both inside and outside!

The great seers had certain vision for the universe. They succeeded in a tangible manner to some extent; may be to a very great extent; but certainly not completely; otherwise we would not have seen any evil inside and outside.

But as we continue to practice NAMASMARAN, we realize that the greatest and eternal success of the seers; is that; they �lived every vision and dream� they had; for the universe.

Thus, we can say that they have been one with the eternal bliss. They have experienced the unity of universe. They have attained the highest possible aspiration of the universe; and have become entirely objective; with a universal eye of justice.

One can say; that while teaching the others how to soar high in the sky; they themselves have become the sky! In other words; they have merged with the �field�; in which, the infinite past and future of the universe; are contingent!

In summary, if we share the dreams of the seers, and work to the best of our satisfaction; then, whether we succeed in contributing to the welfare of the universe or not; we certainly �merge� with the field; which the seers had become one with!
