STRESS AND SUPERTRANSACTIONS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

The transactions go on in unconscious realm; in response to metabolic interactions, instinctual urges; and in conscious realm in response to emotional impulse or ideas.

Usually these are called fair, when they are mutually agreed upon; and unfair when they involve profit of some at the cost of others; in other words; indulgence of some and deprivation of others respectively. There is stress to both parties in terms of obstacle in blossoming; in unfair transactions.

The stress in transactions therefore can be overcome if they are selfless, objective and conducive to blossoming of all. Since every one of us is not born with such enlightenment; and we need efforts to be selfless and objective. The traditional way for such our growth into selfless and objective beings is called NAMASMARAN. It is also called JAAP, JAP, and JIKRA.

Since some people become selfless and objective earlier than others; they become the leaders of mankind. They are called saints. The saints in different fields have holistic perspective. They shape the policies, plans and programs in their respective fields so as to benefit the mankind. This activity of theirs is called supertransactions.

For the saints; the supertransactions are natural, spontaneous, urgent and inevitable! They are not arbitrary. There is no ulterior motive and there is no condescending attitude also. They are somewhat like; processes of labor pains, delivery, and breast feeding, blossoming of flowers, emanation of fragrance, and bearing of fruits.
When we follow the saints; in our respective fields; then our activity also becomes a supertransaction! This is called SWADHARMA, PUNYA or SATKARMA and gives complete fulfillment in life.

There are some people who understand and experience the ultimate phenomenon of immortality. Their teaching is applicable to everybody; from every field and every corner of the world irrespective of religion and race. Their life emanates benevolence. They are adorable to everyone, including the saints; in different fields!

One such super conscious individual was Shri Brahmachaitanya Gondavlekar Maharaj (1844 – 1913); from Maan area in Satara district in Maharashtra State. He advised throughout his life; NAMASMARAN; also called JAAP, JAP, and JIKRA. His life itself was a great example of super supertransaction!
