BEING NISHKAMA: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Being NISHKAMA appears to be painful, as we are usually under the impression that presence of KAMA and fulfillment of KAMA are the integral to life and life without KAMA and fulfillment of KAMA is actually vanity.
Knowingly or unknowingly we are repeatedly dragged in painful pessimism because of the triviality of our individuality and its utterly unnoticeable achievements in personal or social life; from the state of excitement and arrogance in our petty success! Strangely, neither we are freed from the desires nor are we satisfied by the fulfillment of the desires!
However; in the course of time; NAMASMARAN i.e. remembering NAMA is automatically associated with the fulfilling appreciation of the universal, eternal and victorious benevolence of NAMA! This fulfilling appreciation is so powerful that our desires and expectations i.e. KAMA, which are usually associated with our trivial activities, literally get dissolved in it! This is called VAIRAGYA SHRIMANTI or VAIRAGYA VAIBHAV, which means supreme richness of being NISHKAMA or being completely selflessness! This is why, the key to individual and universal blossoming, is NAMASMARAN!
