PAIN AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Student: Sir, I find NAMASMARAN quite ineffective in pain. How to reconcile this inefficacy with the so called omnipotence?
Teacher: This is because;
Firstly; when we practice NAMASMARAN, we are hardly involved in NAMA. We are still involved in body consciousness and hence we are miserable.
Secondly; NAMASMARAN is not a pain killer. It does not kill pain. It kills “I”! Hence expecting it to work as a pain killer is erroneous and illusory.
Thirdly; it is omnipotent in an indirect sense as an ultimate controller and not as an actual doer.
Lastly; NAMASMARAN relieves us from entrapment of “I”, which is a source of all miseries. But this does not happen at once or with any specific rule, pattern or a time table.
