TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT AND NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN; i.e. remembering God or true SELF) 14: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Patient: Last time you said; “I may not use the word "must"! But if you are convinced, then you certainly would NAMASMARAN and Total Stress Management; joyously, victoriously and on war footing!” But don’t you think; the paintings, sculptures, music, dramatics, dances, sports, cuisines etc; make life wonderful; even without NAMASMARAN and Total Stress Management?
Doctor: They do make it wonderful! But it becomes far more wonderful noble and benevolent; in the enlivening, rejuvenating, harmonizing and unifying influence of NAMASMARAN and Total Stress Management!
Patient: I understand! Life would remain petty and mean; and devoid of the unifying cosmic consciousness; in absence of NAMSMARAN and Total Stress Management.
Doctor: Now you get it!
Patient: Really; there is no sense in wasting time; in merely hoping for the already stressed and helpless leaders; to include the study, research, practice and training of NAMASMARAN and Total Stress Management in curriculums!
Doctor: It is interesting to note that stress has become even greater killer because of:
A) Inadequate research,
B) Inadequate understanding
C) Lack of awareness
D) Misconceptions and dogmas about the nature, gravity and management of stress; amongst the experts
E) Wide spread apathy
F) Lack of readiness to recognize, concede, accept and manage stress; due to shame and shyness,
G) Prevalence of quackery, which complicates the problem of stress and its management!
H) Non-availability of Total Stress Management experts
Patient: Sir! You have made the picture clear and opened a new way! But why do you say that stress cannot be cured or eradicated; and it can only be managed?
Doctor: This is because; stress is inseparable from our physiological, social, economic, cultural and political life! It is like MAYA! But it is wonderful and marvelous if we “manage” it and it is ghastly if we fail!
Patient: Isn’t the stress; if we manage, like a shadow, which follows us harmlessly; and like a ghost that persecutes us, if mismanaged?
Doctor: To some extent; yes! But we will discuss it in depth; next time!

Doctor: Stress influences every cell of the body; to a greater or lesser extent. As a result; it predisposes an individual to a variety of problems! Besides predisposing to many diseases, it can actually cause many diseases. Lastly; it can aggravate already existing diseases; thereby increasing the morbidity and mortality.
Patient: Can you please give an example?
Doctor: Stress can actually cause as well as aggravate diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus in turn; makes an individual susceptible to infections e.g. tuberculosis. Because of this all the family members, neighbors and colleagues of the patient are at a risk! In addition, diabetes is many times associated with a number of complications such as retinopathy, cataract, (complications of eye), neuropathy, (complications of nerves), nephropathy, (complications of kidney), gangrene (Gangrene means death and putrefaction of a part of body necessitating removal of that part (amputation) for survival) etc. All this suffering leads to weakness and fickleness of mind! We lose the capacity to meet and fight the challenges!
Patient: Why don’t we find all this about Total Stress Management; in the mainstream educational curriculums?
Doctor: The policy makers and the leaders in educational field also are stressed! Thus their perception, feelings and behavior is also distorted and deranged; leading; to development of individualistic education with petty pursuits!
Patient: I see! Now I understand why you insist on practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN!
Doctor: NAMASMARAN entails the associated measures embodied in Total Stress Management.
Patient: So we must practice and promote, practice and promote and practice and promote!!!
Doctor: I may use the word "must"! But if you are convinced, then you certainly would do so, joyously, victoriously and on war footing!
Patient: Can we conquer the ignorance and apathy and NAMASMARAN and Total Stress Management?
Doctor: Of course! We can and we will! It is writing on the wall!
Patient: Next time; will you please inspire and enlighten me further?
Doctor: I will try my best!

TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT AND NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN; i.e. remembering God or true SELF) 12: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Patient: You had mentioned that forgetfulness of our true SELF is the root cause and hence nothing else but the process of reaching our true SELF is the remedy!
Doctor: Yes! NAMASMARAN is the remedy. This is because it is associated with transcendental perspective, thinking, feelings and behavior. In other words, it is associated with global vision, policy making, plans, programs and their implementation.
Patient; This may be called SADDHARANA, SADVICHAR, SADBHAVANA, SATPRAVRUTI, SADVASANA, SATSANKALP AND SATKARMA or SADACHAR. Right?
Doctor: Yes! Absolutely!
Patient: How does disorientation from true SELF leas to all this?
Doctor: As a result of being caricatures of ourselves we go berserk, trying to seek happiness and fulfilment in every kind of indulgence! But all our efforts go in vain and we keep slogging in turbulent emptiness! We become chaotic ourselves and multiply the chaos around! We get frustration and spread the same! We become cynical and spread cynicism!
Patient: So we ourselves multiply stress and make it the greatest killer! Can you explain how it ruins our health?
Doctor: Yes! Next time we will see how stress harms the body and how diseased body adds to stress!

Patient: Sir! Last time you explained; why stress does not get noticed. Moreover; is it not true that the extent of stress is variable?
Doctor: Yes. The effects of stress vary in accordance with the individual’s perceptions, his/her homeostatic machinery (Homeostatic machinery exists right from the time of fertilization of ovum and sperm. It develops into several organs & tissues which work in a coordinated manner to keep the internal environment constant [within normal range] and the nature, intensity, frequency, duration and number of stressors acting at a time and the complexity of the stressors.
Patient: Do you mean to say that the extent of energy, passions, sensitivity, intelligence and perspective of an individual would determine the extent of stress?
Doctor: Yes! But besides all these; the actual physiological constitution (genotype and phenotype) also determine the effects of stress. All these are referred to as SANCHIT!
Patient: What is genotype and phenotype?
Doctor: Genotype is like seed, where the life is not expressed and phenotype is like a tree, where life is expressed.
Patient: Because of TV and internet the stimuli bombarding on our mind have multiplied in rapidity and complexity!
Doctor: Yes! As we have forgotten our true SELF, we have become disoriented caricatures of ourselves! We have become desperate to “achieve” petty personal gains!
Patient: So we ourselves add to the stressors in the form of spreading lies! Am I right?
Doctor: You said it! Hence NAMASMARAN is the reversal of the forgetfulness and disorientation of true SELF! It is the process of reversal of the root cause of stress!
Patient: So, do all these factors determine; the extent of stress and its effects on the life of an individual and the environment?
Doctor: Yes! Environment includes physical e.g. global warming, chemical e.g. pollution, biological e.g. mosquitoes, the family e.g. domestic violence, working place e.g. nepotism, society e.g. riots!
Patient: Sir! Now I am eager and keen to learn more about all this!
Doctor: Surely!
Patient; Sir! Please explain to me elaborately the root of cause of stress, why and how it is the greatest killer and also the greatest destroyer; and how to begin Total Stress Management!
Doctor: Surely! In fact this process of understanding is the first step in Total Stress Management; helping me also!

DIVINE WISDOM DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
NAMASMARAN is a process of promotion from a position of helpless engagement; in compulsions, activities and duties; of primitive nature; to the positions of being increasingly closer to and in tune with; the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent superpower; our Guru! This is also called the phenomenon of self realization and is the greatest of all achievements; as there is nothing else to achieve!
But this does not appear to be true; till we are engrossed and entangled in consciousness; associated with body metabolism, endocrine system, autonomic nervous system and central nervous system; and its interactions with the internal and external environments (KARMA).
The environments (including the educational, occupational, political, cultural, economic, social, religious etc); keep stimulating and arousing us; to act in one way or another! But we find that in spite of our efforts; life (individual as well as universal life) “leaves us behind” and continues to shape itself beyond our imagination!
In the process; our passions, desires, love, hatred, ambitions, missions and so on; appear to be defeated! The world moves ahead and we get dragged after it; helplessly; even if we are physically and financially sound!
As and when; our Guru blesses us; we realize that ‘we’ do not fully understand the nature of universe and the myriads of good or bad entities and desirable and undesirable events; inside and outside; and that; our Guru fully “knows and governs appropriately”; everything!
As a result; we begin to “see” our Guru’s eternal divine wisdom at work; in everything and in every event; and the merit of surrendering Him!
Thus we stop considering the practice of NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, and SIMARAN i.e. remembering God or true self); a defeatist, escapist, helpless, unproductive, ineffective expression of an aging or ailing person; but a solemn and pleasant duty of a person promoted to a top position of governance and benevolence!
