GURU AND DISCIPLE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Guru: I am pleased with your prayers, NAMASMARAN and your work. You may ask for any bounty.

Disciple: My Lord, I don�t know; what to ask for. Theoretically; I agree that all �my� prayers, "my" NAMASMARAN and �my� work; belong to you; as you are the soul; of �my" whole existence!

But practically; I am always ridden in stress; emerging from some unidentified, indefinite, and unknown source! The source may be anything or many things; ranging from my genotype, phenotype, metabolic activities, hormonal interactions, neurological events and psychological phenomena, which are influenced; by the changing; external (physical, chemical, biological, psychological, political, social, religious etc) atmosphere; and fluctuate thereby!

Sometimes I feel; that my stress; is due to the pandemic of stress spread ubiquitously in the world; and can be rectified through universalization of NAMASMARAN; and hence universalization of NAMASMARAN is the remedy; for my stress!

But the next moment; I realize; that though; universalization of NAMASMARAN and propagation of its potential to usher in; the holistic renaissance; are indeed the ways for holistic renaissance; they cannot be a �remedy to my stress�! The universalization of NAMASMARAN (and its potential); as well as; the anticipated or foreseen emergence of holistic renaissance; are �unending�! The �complete rectification� of the pandemic of stress; is as illusory; as the fleeting and illusory nature of the pandemic itself!

But since �I� am inseparable from this illusion; I am in stress and I don�t know how to get rid of it! I have failed to overcome this stress!

Guru: My dear friend! This is a magic of remembrance and forgetfulness! At the moment you are; in relatively more forgetfulness than in remembrance of me (your true self)! Hence there is stress!

However; the process of practicing and promoting NAMASMARAN; and its benevolent and pivotal role; in holistic renaissance; must go on; till I wish!

At right time; your role will be over; and you will be granted a complete remembrance and zero forgetfulness of me (your true self)!
This is where there is NO stress!

Disciple: Thank you! Thank you very much!!
