BLISS AND DEATH
Posted by on Monday, 18th March 2013
It is said that there is worry in anticipation of anxiety, which is in anticipation fear, which is in anticipation of pain (and unpleasantness), which is in anticipation of difficulty in survival (such as monetary loss, loss of job, physical handicap, threat to physical life and risk to instinctual, emotional, intellectual and social life).
There can be differences in the details, with respect to this concept.
The point is worry, anxiety, fear, pain or unpleasantness and survival; are intricately integrated and hence the cascade; works automatically; irrespective of our religion, race, region, nation, continent, culture and ideology; and irrespective of our monetary status, political power, social reputation, market (brand) value, professional popularity, physical strength, academic stature and our appearance! Most importantly it happens involuntarily; irrespective of wish!
The practice of NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, and SIMARAN i.e. remembering; God, our true self, NAMA; the eternal and objective reality) involves transcending this cascade (the root cause of our subjective perceptions, thinking, feelings, passions and behavior); and returning to our absolute, immortal and blissful state, in spite of the aging, ailing and death of our body.

DIVINE WISDOM DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Monday, 18th March 2013
NAMASMARAN is a process of promotion from a position of helpless engagement; in compulsions, activities and duties; of primitive and basic 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 “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 expression of an aging or ailing person; but a promotion to a top position of governance and benevolence!

SANKALP DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Monday, 18th March 2013
Sankalp means; a kind of combination; of motivation, purpose, plan, aspiration, desire, ambition, determination; which leads to a variety of activities in life.
Whether we wish or not; our sankalp goes on evolving from being the innate property of surviving and sustaining inside the uterus and after birth an instinct of breast feeding; to ultimately the urge to be free of sankalp!
The state of being free of sankalp is thus; being beyond the physical, metabolic, endocrine, autonomic nervous, central nervous, psychological and social existence.
Through some study and practice of NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN i.e. remembering true self or God); and other means; we may be able to overcome our superficial sankalp (e.g. likes and dislikes, our prejudices and our preferences; or our friendship and enmity).
But it is the ultimate state of living beyond every kind of sankalp; even the sankalp of survival; which is where the sincere, intense and consistent practice of NAMASMARAN can take us! This is sacchidananda; the eternal abode of saints!
This is why; the saints are free from every kind of anxiety, worry, disgruntlement, depression, frustration, fear and so on; whereas; we; the students (or masters) of physiology, sociology, philosophy, stress management, counseling, psychology, clinical psychology, psychiatry and so on; are miserably drowned in them!
Even a little bit of introspection can validate this point and inspire us to practice NAMASMARAN; instead of continuing to harbor; condescending attitude and arrogance (of our positions, qualifications and jargons, by which we pitiably try to cover our weakness)!

राम कर्ता
या विश्वामध्ये आपण सर्व (मानव, प्राणी, वनस्पती, इतर सजीव आणि निर्जीव), विशिष्ट ऊर्जा, क्षमता, विविध गुण आणि सृजनाशीलता यानी परिपूर्ण असतो. पण आपल्याला याची यथार्थ जाणीव, कल्पना नसते.एका टप्प्यावर आपल्यामध्ये वासना, भावना, विचार आणि दृष्टिकोन; प्रगट होऊ लागतात. अश्या तर्हेने आपल्यातला "मी" जागृत होतो; आणि आपण; वस्तू, पैसा, जोडीदार, घर, नोकरी; किंवा सत्ता, समाजकार्य, लोकसेवा वगैरे मध्ये गुंतून जातो. हे सर्व आपल्या अंतर्मनात आणि जागृत मनामध्ये चालू असते. अश्या तर्हेने आपल्या हातून बर्या. वाईट गोष्टी घडत जातात आणि त्यातून येणार्या" सुख दु:खातून आणि यश-अपयशातून आपले आणि संपूर्ण विश्वाचे स्वरूप घडत आणि बिघडत जाते! गुरू म्हणजेच राम. तो काळ, अवकाश आणि आपल्या सर्व जाणीवांच्या अतीत आहे. त्याच्याच कृपेने आपल्याला नामाची संजीवनी प्राप्त होते. त्याच्याच कृपेने तोच सर्वाच्या अन्तर्यामी असल्याचे कळू लागते. त्याच्याच कृपेने आपले संकुचित शहाणपण, क्षुद्र गर्व, अनाठायी हट्ट, अवाजवी आग्रह आणि हीन अहंकार गळून पडू लागतात. त्याच्याच कृपेने आपल्या सवांच्या अन्तर्यामी असलेल्या त्याच्या सच्चिदानंद स्वरूपाची अनुभूती आणि अम्रुतमयी सान्निध्याची प्रचीती येऊ लागते. त्याच्याच कृपेने बाकी सर्व ध्येये बाजूला पडत जातात आणि त्याचीच काय ती ओढ तीव्र होत जाते. त्याच्याच कृपेने नामस्मरणातील गोडी आणि सातत्य वाढत जाते. त्याच्याच कृपेने अश्या रीतीने जीवन कृतज्ञता आणि सार्थकता यानी भरून जाते. हेच जीवनाचे सर्वोच्च साफल्य!
श्रीराम समर्थ!!!

QUOTIENT OF SATISFACTION (QOS)

QUOTIENT OF SATISFACTION (QOS)
DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Quotient of satisfaction (QOS) is a ratio of; the extent of satisfaction to the amount of efforts put in.
It is true that both; the amount of our satisfaction and the amount of efforts put in by us; can be (though not exactly or precisely) ‘measured’ by physiological symptoms and signs (such as those due to autonomic nervous system stimulation) or by time, energy and money spent by us; respectively.
This is because the evaluation of the satisfaction and the efforts; is more a matter of subjective perception; than laboratory investigation or assessment.
Nevertheless; both our satisfaction and our efforts; are a concrete reality and not ambiguous or illusory phenomena. Hence; they can certainly be ‘quantified’ by us!
Thus besides the symptoms and signs of satisfaction; the subjective perception of intensity and duration of satisfaction; and the people involved in it can be considered; and besides the time, energy and money; the perception subjective labor, difficulty or actual pain; can be considered; to assess the amount of satisfaction and the amount of efforts respectively.
This understanding although in different semantics; is a universal legacy passed on from generation to generation; with very high QOS!
Thus generations after generations; world over; have observed and experienced that NAMASMARAN, JAP, JAAP, SIMARAN, SUMIRAN i.e. remembering one’s self (for atheists) and God (for the theists) is an activity that is like a precious stone that multiplies the QOS; in every moment and in every activity of life. Whether this holds true for us or not; can be and has to be verified; and not merely believed or disbelieved!
