PRACTICAL BENEFIT OF NAMASMARAN DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
PRACTICAL BENEFIT OF NAMASMARAN DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Student: Sir, what is the practical benefit of NAMASMARAN for a person and society?

Teacher: Through NAMASMARAN we gradually overcome our petty selfishness and become happy in victory (e.g. in election). We know that it is a win-win situation and begin to work for common welfare.

In absence of this; we tend to get hysterically excited with victory and get lost in the frenzy of accomplishing vested interests; at the cost of others.

Passing blood in stools
Mr. B______, a 50 year old patient from Saudi Arabia came to me with bleeding while passing stools (also read this interesting case ) since childhood. He was often treated for piles in his country but there was no relief. Ultimately being frustrated with his disease, he came to India. He was skinny and pale. I examined his anal canal but did not see any plies. There appeared some mass in rectum. I posted him for colonoscopy. Almost whole of his colon from rectum to cecum was involved with multiple small grape like growths called polyps. I biopsied few of them and they came benign. The diagnosis of Multiple colonic polyposis was established.

PROTECTION OF NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
PROTECTION OF NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Student: Sir, it is often said that NAMASMARAN protects us. There are stories about this; in mythology also. But is it not true that people suffer and die whether they practice NAMASMARAN or not?
Teacher: Protection does not mean the protection of body. It means protection of restful awareness in remembrance of NAMA even as body falls sick, gives pain and dies. However initially this is difficult to appreciate because of the rigid involvement in bodily pains and pleasures.

PAIN AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
PAIN AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Student: Sir, I find NAMASMARAN quite ineffective in pain. How to reconcile this inefficacy with the so called omnipotence?
Teacher: This is because;
Firstly; when we practice NAMASMARAN, we are hardly involved in NAMA. We are still involved in body consciousness and hence we are miserable.
Secondly; NAMASMARAN is not a pain killer. It does not kill pain. It kills “I”! Hence expecting it to work as a pain killer is erroneous and illusory.
Thirdly; it is omnipotent in an indirect sense as an ultimate controller and not as an actual doer.
Lastly; NAMASMARAN relieves us from entrapment of “I”, which is a source of all miseries. But this does not happen at once or with any specific rule, pattern or a time table.

SPIRITUAL INFRASTRUCTURE: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Student: What is spiritual infrastructure?
Teacher: It is the essential foundation of economic and social infrastructure.
Student: Can you explain?
Teacher: Roads, bridges, railway, electricity, telecommunication; etc. constitute economic infrastructure; and play an important role in progress.
But healthcare facilities, housing, drinking water, schools i.e. social infrastructure is equally important.
Student: Is this not enough?
Teacher: No! If the perspective, ideology, thinking, feeling, motivation and behavior; are conducive to fanatic sectarian development; then social and economic infrastructures become destructive to us; as well as to the others; as evident in so called developed countries. Hence it is essential to work; on the spiritual infrastructure; simultaneously.
Student: How can we develop spiritual infrastructure?
Teacher: The spiritual infrastructure can be developed if there is a simple and inexpensive common minimum program that can be acceptable to different ideologies and religions.
Student: Such as?
Teacher: One such program is; remembering the name of God and reorienting to one’s true self; called JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN i.e. NAMASMARAN. It can be introduced in every nook and corner of the world; to everyone irrespective of age, sex, occupation, religion, race, nationality etc.

RAW AND RIPE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
RAW AND RIPE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Student: How to reconcile the restlessness for completeness; with the fulfillment?

Teacher: This is akin to a mango. It is sour when raw. In the course of ripening by virtue of warmth; it becomes sweet.

Similarly, in the beginning, we are full of immature passions, feelings, thoughts, ambitions and aspirations. But deep inside there is a longing for completeness. Hence in spite of gratification our immature passions, feelings, thoughts, ambitions and aspirations, we still remain "sour" i.e. restless.

Just as warmth causes ripening of the mango, the NAMASMARAN, causes our "ripening" i.e. maturation. This leads to enrichment of our life with "sweetness" or fulfillment of innate aspiration of completeness and manifests in every activity of our life.

Health, Unemployment, Mal-employment and Employment: Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar

Student: Can you explain?
Teacher: In other words policies, which oppose development lead to unemployment, policies, which favor development at the cost environment and well being of majority of people; leads to mal-employment; and policies, which lead to development conducive to individual and global blossoming lead to proper employment. This leads to wellness cycle in society.
