SLAVERY TO FREEDOM: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKARThe preaching of prayers and worships can appear to be the advice of impotency; to young mind.
The decrees to worship imaginary and yet unimaginable God can appear absurd and slavish; to buoyant and bubbling youth.
The concept of “Be good and do good”; can appear gullible, baseless and irrational; to pragmatic rationality.
The condemnation of sensual pleasures can appear ridiculous, and sensual pleasures can seem last word in pleasure!
This is because; we live at different levels of consciousness. We are trapped in different degrees of pettiness and superficiality. Hence; irrespective of our level of consciousness; it is wiser and healthier to accept the others; with their levels of consciousness; and endeavor for common blossoming!
It is said that the practice of NAMASMARAN can gradually emancipate all of us; from the suffocating slavery of being petty self into the freedom of being universal self! But; since the slavery is global; the present practice by billions; is not still not adequate! It has to be truly global; and at least optimum in intensity and number; to be effective!
