BENEFIT: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Practice of NAMASMARAN is actually a training of doing an activity where we may not get any tangible or demonstrable “benefit”!
NAMASMARAN actually transforms us to our original omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient state, which is totally devoid of any desires! This is because; this is a state from where everything (including our desires) originates! This is an immortal state. But having said this; on the basis of the glimpse of this state; actual realization of it may require decades or even more!
When we are told that don’t expect anything; we think that we should not expect money, name, fame, power etc.
So we stop expecting these things and start expecting satisfaction; because we think it is assured by Guru! But this concept of “getting” itself traps us! We mistakenly take the position of a seeker! We think (erroneously) that the “satisfaction” referred to by our Guru, is some kind of gratification and/or complacence; and keep waiting for it; and are eventually disappointed.
But from time to time; Guru pulls us out of this abyss of disappointment; and shows us that the satisfaction or fulfillment is already there; though inaccessibly deep inside, and which we certainly reach imperceptibly and merge in! We have simply to go on practicing NAMASMARAN!
This empowering nurturing of us; from our innate core; amidst apparently unbearable agonies and terrifying turbulences; is the victory (VIJAY) of our Guru (NAMA)!
