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.
