FULFILLMENT: DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR

Food, clothes, shelter, health care, sports, education, job, good salary, status symbols, marriage, children, power, fame, popularity, awards….are sought after with variable priorities. We seek them as a matter of compulsions of body, instincts, emotions and intelligence.
If we are still restless, then it is because, whether we succeed or fail, we get fulfillment which is temporary.
Later; if we discover that NAMASMARAN is the panacea, then we are possessed by the mission of practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN. If we are able to articulate our views, then we get involved in writing.
We are happy by accomplishment of accurate and appropriate drafting, its impeccable proof reading, its corrections, its editing and finally its completion, printing and publication. But this is also temporary and associated with the anxiety about the feedback!
This anxiety increases; as there is no way, by which we can ascertain how many people actually read, how many of them and how much they really understand and how they respond to it from within!
Later; the anxiety multiplies as the feedback of the readers and their participation in the practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN is uncertain.
The anxiety further multiplies as we do not notice the benevolence of NAMASMARAN in the form of globally benevolent policies, plans, programs and their implementation; as envisaged by us.
The evils in our own lives and in social life; seem to be unending!
Around this time; it becomes clear that there is no way to ascertain; whether what we find in the policies, plans, programs and implementation is appropriate or not. As a result we are confronted with a question; “Is what appears to be contrary to our anticipation; actually a divine plan or it requires rectification; and we are falling short in our duty?”
Gradually it becomes clear that our ideas about the policies, plans, programs and their implementation are not constant! They keep changing! In fact; we are changing, our ideas are changing and our perceptions are changing!
The restlessness is a result of our entrapment in the inevitably changing individuality! It would not disappear by arbitrary planning; to “live in present”!
Now; we begin to understand why it is said; that; we should do our duty (i.e. what we are motivated to do while we are in NAMASMARAN); and not get involved in the anticipation (which is subjective and changing) of the results (which are fleeting and beyond our conceptual framework).
At this point we understand but do not quite experience the true fulfillment in being completely immersed in the absolute reality; deep within us!
This absolute reality, beyond space, time and individual consciousness; hidden in our core; is the same as NAMA. Brahmachaitanya Maharaj Gondavalekar, my Guru proclaimed that He is no different than NAMA and urged to practice NAMASMARAN with topmost priority.
This need to reconnect with NAMA; keeps dawning inside; from time to time; in spite our belligerence; and is the victory (VIJAY) of my Guru (NAMA), over the rest!
