BOREDOM AND NAMASMARAN DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Student: Sir! When I get up there is a lousy feeling. I don’t feel fresh! There is a strange kind of boredom, in which I drowned!
Teacher: This is a common complaint.
Student: What is the cause; and what is the cure?
Teacher: Neither the animals nor the emancipated individuals are bored! But majority of us are overwhelmingly dragged by our basal instincts; and we are crippled due to being starved of our innate nectar - the ambrosia.
Hence the cause of the boredom is the deprivation from our ambrosia and the cure is to drink the ambrosia incessantly through the practice of NAMASMARAN!
If we try to practice NAMASMARAN continuously, then the days, nights and the mornings would be increasingly (not completely and suddenly right from the outset!) vibrantly buoyant, dynamic; and the boredom would gradually disappear.
Student: Would this free us from the feeling of vanity?
Teacher: Yes! NAMASMARAN would free us from the feeling of vanity, which arises due to the repeated experience of hollowness inbuilt in mere gratification the basal instincts.
Student: But aren’t the basal instincts inbuilt in life? How and why should we hate and try to escape from them?
Teacher: Is it not true that along with the basal instincts; the innate ocean of the ambrosia is also inbuilt in life?
Student: Yes; it appears to be true.
Teacher: It is; cent per cent true. Therefore at least those of us; who ascertain the vanity of gratification of mere basal instincts time and again; should practice NAMASMARAN i.e. imbibe the innate ambrosia and share our fulfillment with others! Don’t you agree?
Student: I tend to agree; but I don’t know how to convince myself to get rid of the temptations which we come across every now and then! Abstinence is painful and indulgence is hollow!
Teacher: I don’t get into the dilemma of abstinence and indulgence! All these are peripheral things and fall apart in the course of time if we remain stuck to the central and crucial point; of trying steadfastly to be in NAMASMARAN and sharing it with others!
