Many of us are convinced that NAMASMARAN is an activity that takes us from subjectivity to objectivity. It takes us to the root and seed of universe. It is a panacea for individual and universal problems.However many of us question about its uniqueness, supremacy; and its insistence and generalization.
Thus; some of us maintain that we need not insist on NAMASMARAN because; there are many people who do not practice NAMASMARAN; yet serve the universe in different ways e.g. through scientific and technological research and social service.
It is true that the creative geniuses in different fields contribute to the universal blossoming without practicing NAMASMARAN. But do these people reach the root cause of the individual and universal problems or rather; the root of universe?
The hallmark of most of these people is either superficial contentment or delirium of material gains; or dissatisfaction and depression; at the end of their life.
Some of us refer to the other ways of self realization. They are doubtful about; which position to take about these ways with respect to NAMASMARAN.
It is true that many people practice many ways other than NAMASMARAN and claim the merit of these ways.
For those of us who are convinced about NAMASMARAN and its scope and potential; it is fair to practice NAMASMARAN steadfastly and share the vision, conviction and/or experiences during our practice; with others.
But this can be best done without being critical about the other ways, about which they have no experience. But suffice it to feel and express that ultimately all ways converge to the same goal of universal harmony and eternal reality.
