SAKALPA AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

How can we do anything; if we don’t have purpose or mission?
In fact; can we; in day to day life; possibly do anything; without purpose and plan?
Whether we are students, teachers, administrators, farmers or policy makers; is it not true that we have purpose and plan?
How to reconcile this with the 2nd shloka in 6th chapter of Gita?
Practice of NAMASMARAN gradually lets us know that; sankalpa; is a product of individual identity.
The discrepancy between what is; or appears to be; and what ‘we” want, or don’t want; creates a sankalpa.
When we are dead as individuals; the sankalpa dies.
Just as the Sun does have sankalpa of sunrise and Rain does not have sankalpa of rainfall; when we merge with the past, present and future; i.e. God’s wish; there is nothing to wish. God’s sankalpa automatically becomes our sankalpa.
This is a very difficult, evolved and accurate state of being. It is almost indescribable and hence it is innate and very personal. But it is non-personal too; as there is no individual consideration or motive! It is a state in which practitioners of NAMASMARAN live eternally…
