2. When we observe wars, riots, crimes,
frauds, scams and so on; it becomes
difficult to devote to; apparently escapist
activity such as namasmaran. This
happens even when we go through
unpleasant situations in family or
personal life.
This is because namasmaran does not
give any satisfaction of having revolted,
fought or at least resisted the “injustice
or unpleasant issues” in life.
The idea of chanting the name of God at
best appears to help one’s own
emancipation and hence appears a
cowardly, mean and petty activity.
This can cause severe conflict and
vacillation towards and away from
namasmaran.

3. However in the course of time; we begin
to observe disintegration of our petty self
from the society. We begin to witness
that even as physical activities can be
mean and petty; namasmaran can never
be mean and petty; even if we practice it
(initially) with utterly selfish motive and
also involuntary or subconscious
sociopathic intentions; which may creep
in our mind (not that one should try to do
so!)!
We begin to realize that the chanting,
reciting or remembering of the name of
God; by us is actually manifestation of
the innate voice and articulate innate
aspirations of billions (inarticulately
eager to blossom) and we are merely
acting as mouth piece. In fact it begins to
appear that not only the human beings
but all the living and nonliving being are

4. pulsating with the name of God and we
are merely acting as the speaker!
Namasmaran takes us beyond all
subjective ideals and implicit in the
concept of humanity and takes us to the
innate core of the cosmic consciusness
(as well as humanity) that encompasses
everything!
Namasmaran enables us to blossom
along with everything; living and
nonliving in the universe. It becomes
clear to us that through namasmaran
there can not be mere individual
emancipation (of course; no question
about any harm!) without that of the
others. Namasmaran is inevitably
associated with individual and universal
blossoming!
