END OF WORDS: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Communication evolves from nonverbal to verbal but it fails to communicate completely and accurately. This is true even in the best of speeches, drafts and literature.
As a result; words often create misunderstanding and/or conflicts, which are variably violent.
But the words obviously serve the purpose of communication and hence cannot be abandoned.
What we talk or write; may not convey exactly what we feel due to our inability and also due the differing constitutions of the people. This is because our feelings from our interior are first filtered through our subjectivity and subsequently filtered through the subjectivity of the others.
Our passions, obsessions, missions, desires, goals and aspirations are subjective and inaccurate. When we go beyond actions and words, born out of them; we reach our true desire, which is objective, selfless and hence is the same; as cosmic, divine or God’s desire.
NAMASMARAN is a process of going into syncytium of interiors; common to all; and without separating barriers! It is the controlling source of all actions, passions, feelings, thoughts, words and articulations; including the holistic concepts!
Whereas various enlightened actions, speeches and writings are useful; they are inadequate and feeble; as compared to this vibrant, vitalizing and uniting source of universe; NAMA, Guru, the true self; accessible trough NAMASMARAN. Hence NAMASMARAN is called the truest SAT KARMA (Action that takes us to the absolute truth).

EGO AND NAMASANKALP: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Should we; count while practicing NAMASMARAN; and should we have a target?
Some argue that the practice of NAMASMARAN in itself; is all that matters and counting is not necessary. Counting and keep a target is likely to bloat our ego!

Others think that without counting; disciplined, regular and consistent NAMSAMARAN would be difficult.

Now; it is true that all people don’t need counting to be consistent in NAMASMARAN. It is also true that NAMASMARAN in itself is important and counting is secondary; and if we get obsessed with the counting; then it may become a kind of imposed labor!

But how many of us are happily immersed in NAMASMARAN throughout the day; without any distraction? Is it not true; that majority of us; are on the path of; but still away from; the self realization? Are we not addicted to selfish and petty considerations, by which we repeatedly distracted, deceived and disappointed?

This is why; there has to be a target that can rejuvenate us; in the process of self realization help us; and help us overcome the deceptive distractions, which disappoint us!
Such target is none other than that of NAMASMARAN.

As regards bloating of ego; is it not true that we obediently try to accomplish the targets ordered in schools, hospitals, industries, offices and so on? We don’t complain to our teacher; doctor or our boss; that; if we complete our work in time, then our ego may get bloated!

Same is true for daily errands. We don’t complain (or even doubt) that they could bloat our ego!

Thus; we have no hesitation in accomplishing targets, (without any doubt of ego) when they serve our needs, wants or desires; and/or alleviate or cure our pains; although they don’t lead us to self realization!

Further; in absence of (or in spite of) target (in health, education, career, job, business, love life etc); we tend to develop enormous void in our life. We feel empty and dejected.
Hence; as a measure to overcome our own void that causes tremendous stress; we should come together and practice NAMASMARAN with count and with a moderate target; besides being engaged in NAMASMARAN when we are on our own.

Lastly; there is a great sense of buoyancy and celebration; when we count and complete a target of NAMASMARAN and offer it to our Guru. On everyday basis; there is nothing better and happier than this; to be achieved!

STRESS AND KINDNESS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

My conscience and reality do not concur during the course of development. This is because my conscience is blurred by my passion, feelings, thoughts, perspective based on my heredity, different surroundings.

Hence usually I am judgmental; whether I wish or not!

This is why; I am in a frame of mind to harm my adversaries; and even latter; I am obsessed to punish the “wronged” ones with punishment.

As a result of GURUKRUPA:
1. I begin to see the truth that all the sins in the world are in me; at least potentially; if not manifest.
2. I begin to see that there is hand of Almighty (Guru); behind all the appearances; including the “sins” of mine and those of others!
3. I begin to understand the nature’s justice; in the form of PRARABDHA (the apparent good and bad conditions of me and others).
4. I begin to appreciate the wisdom in the concept and practice of PRAYASHCHITTA.
5. I begin to see; the most compassionate, divine and bountiful hand of my GURU; in organizing and blossoming my life; in the process of self realization.
6. I begin to realize; that NAMA is the absolute truth; and the kindness begins to flow through my heart involuntarily; whether I wish or not! Strange it may appear; but the vengeance, vindictiveness, vendetta, rage, cruelty and callous self righteousness, releasing in my body; in the form of stress toxins; begin to disappear; thereby; making me happier!
