The document discusses "my problem", which is a struggle within individuals between what is and what should be. This restlessness stems from sensory input not matching feelings of wants and deficiencies. "My problem" is a global issue, as it is difficult to voluntarily blossom into generous, loving characteristics. Forcing change cannot transform individuals, but creating a globally beneficial environment conducive to blossoming may help. However, even this is not possible without universally practicing remembrance of the divine name (Namasmarn). "My problem" is a universal problem that even leaders face, and tolerance born of experience is needed to address it appropriately.
2. There is always a struggle
probably within every person,
who can feel and think about
“what is” and “what should be” or
“what should have been”!
The restlessness is born out of the
tussle between the prevalent
sensory input and its
interpretation and the prevalent
feeling of wants, deficiencies or
demands (many times wrongly
interpreted and felt) of the
individual.
3. Not merely a common man is
restless because of wants and
unfulfilled desires, but even if
you are a leader in some field
including intellectual and
philosophical, you are restless and
hence intolerant about “what
should be”! You seem to be
oblivious to “my problem”!
“My problem” is a global
problem. How much ever I am
brain washed, I can not be noble
hearted. I can not be generous. I
can not be selfless. Being “better”
4. is not as simple and as instant as
“merely changing clothes or
washing make up”! Whenever I
seem to have “improved”, I come
across a situation that bares open
my meanness. “My problem” is
difficulty in voluntarily
blossoming and becoming
buoyant, generous, loving and
benevolent to all.
You can punish me, torture me or
kill me but cannot transform me
into unprejudiced and innocent
individual. Can you? You can
5. force me to pay tax but can not
motivate me to be selfless! You
can emotionally influence me to
donate but can not inspire me to
voluntarily stop exploiting! You
can force me to behave in a gentle
manner. But you can not erase the
sexual, infatuative, and other
bizarre ideas, whims and fancies
from my mind! Can you?
“My problem” is a global
problem.
6. For me to blossom, you have to
blossom yourself. You have to
create an environment of a
holistic perspective of globally
beneficial policies, plans, laws,
rules, regulations, conventions
and fashions, which in turn would
be conducive to my blossoming.
Can you do it? You would (if you
are frank) admit that you can not
do it!
That is because “my problem” is
“your problem” also! “My
problem” is universal!
7. Hence, let us be considerate to
every one including ourselves.
Tolerance is not gullible stupidity.
It is the wisdom born out of
experience and honesty. It gives
accuracy to conceptions and
expressions. It makes you
appropriate and effective. It gives
globally beneficial dimension to
every activity of yours. You can
give justice to your job, through
such considerate and tolerant
attitude!
8. But is this possible? Even this is
not possible! This is not possible
by your voluntary efforts and/or
your authoritative and apparently
intellectual rhetoric (if you are a
so called leader) in the presence
of sectarian and mean ambience,
in and out.
But this can be possible through
universally practicable practice of
NAMASMARAN.
