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)!
