QUESTIONS AND NAMASMARAN :DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

The animals don’t seem to think about what, why, how, where, when where etc. A new born baby also does not seem to think that way.
But for some reason or the other; many of us are drowned in such questions for their life time! In fact; these questions are considered to be the backbone of learning. Even the fine arts, which otherwise seem to require no questions; on keener observation; are found to be enriched through these questions.
In short; human civilization and its development would not have been what it is today; in absence of these questions.
But interestingly, in the process of getting answers to many questions; we get entangled in newer questions; in the field of technology, science, art, ethics, philosophy and son!
The when the universe originated, why it originated, till where it extends, how it functions, what its purpose is; are all unknown. Naturally there are some efforts to provide answers, but they are obviously unsatisfactory.
All questions and answers; born from our instincts, feelings and thoughts even though unavoidable; are incomplete and do not yield ultimate fulfillment.
The past, present and future of “me”, every living being and the infinite universe are not known. There is a frightening and unending dark vacuum. But NAMASMARAN takes us to a realm of questionless completeness and fulfillment viz. NAMA, our Guru. He encompasses our past, present and future and is our final destination; contingent in whom is the creation and destruction of “me” and everything else.
