NAMASMARAN AND THE GERMS OF STRESS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

It is true that NAMASMARAN is a means of salvation, liberation, moksha, self realization and/or immortality.

But “Practicing NAMASMARAN” without some essential stages of development given below; and waiting for salvation; is like a child expecting Ph D, without going in a school; and leads to gullibility, frustration or hypocrisy.

One example that highlights this; in spite of “practicing NAMASMARAN”; is our advertisements of disinfectants, washing powders, washing bars, toilet soaps, tooth powders, tooth pastes and water filters/ mineral water bottles; spreading the “stress of germs” and “germs of stress”!

Actually germ is a NOT a singular cause of infective and infectious diseases. If it were to be true; then in the mass of germs (approximately 100 times the mass of us); we would have been extinct long back. Moreover; the germs are not always harmful. Often they are symbiotic (beneficially dependent on each other), commensals (harmlessly coexisting together) and saprophytes (living on dead tissues), which are harmless and/or useful germs. Even those germs, which can infect and harm us (referred to as virulent or pathogenic); do so; only when our immune system i.e. body resistance is relatively inefficient (usually due to malnutrition); and/or their number is suddenly increased to defeat the body mechanism of resistance.

We would live far more healthily and happily, as; our hitherto closed door to swadharma, true self and God, would be open; if in the process of practicing NAMASMARAN; we pass through the stages of; SADICCHHAA, SADVASANA, SADBHAVANA, SADPRERANA, SADPRAVRUTTI, SADVICHAR and SADSANKALP (instincts, emotions, thoughts, perspective (policies, plans and programs) of individual and global blossoming) and desist from cheating or getting cheated.
