GURU AND DISCIPLE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Guru: You may ask your question.

Disciple: My Lord, 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! It may be one or many things; ranging from my genotype, phenotype, metabolic activities, hormonal interactions, neurological events and psychological phenomena, including the changing; external (physical, chemical, biological, psychological, political, social, religious etc) atmosphere!

Sometimes I feel; that my stress; is a part of the pandemic of stress spread ubiquitously in the world; and hence; can be rectified through universalization of NAMASMARAN! But universalization of NAMASMARAN (and its potential); as well as; the anticipated or foreseen emergence of holistic renaissance; are “unending and never complete”! Hence; the idea of “complete rectification” of the pandemic of stress; is as illusory; as the pandemic of stress itself!

Being inseparable from this illusion; I am in stress and want to know whether stress management is a reality or illusion!

Guru: Indeed; your stress; is a part of the pandemic of stress spread ubiquitously in the world; and hence; you have to go through the practice and universalization of NAMASMARAN (and its potential); to usher in holistic renaissance, even if they are “never ending and ever incomplete” and hence appear illusory!
My dear friend! Stress is a magic of remembrance (NAMASMARAN) and forgetfulness (NAMAVISMARAN)! Being totally involved in NAMASMARAN; is total stress management; and being in NAMAVISMARAN to a variable extent; is being in stress! Through the process of practicing and promoting NAMASMARAN; and its benevolent and pivotal role; in holistic renaissance; at appropriate time; you will be totally involved; in NAMASMARAN (state of total stress management) and hence; zero NAMAVISMARAN (zero stress)!
Disciple: Thank you Master! Thank you very much!!
