2. Emotional impotence is inability to love! I have
begun to understand that impotence is not merely
erectile (sexual) but more importantly it is
emotional. I have started realizing that my
greatest success or failure; i.e. potency or
impotency; lies in my ability or inability to love!
Thus what ever I do in life, the question I address
is; “Whether that activity can ensure me the
greatest success; in terms of enabling and
empowering me to love or not?” (Earlier I used
ask; “Whether it can give maximum satisfaction
that can be shared with maximum people and be
relished for maximum time?”! But I found that
this question is rather impractical.)
Without elaborating much, suffice it to say that I
am born to blossom, love and get ultimate
fulfillment. But somewhere on the way, I got lost
in petty pursuits, which crippled my ability to
love; and defeated the very purpose of life!
3. I have begun to understand that if I ask this
question to myself; then whether I believe in God
(theist) or not (atheist) and irrespective of my
ideology or religion; I would blossom and love; to
my heart’s content and ultimate fulfillment of
life!
Just as I shared this question; I would share the
answer to the question as well!
Thus amongst various options, NAMASMARAN
stood out as an activity of top priority in terms of
enabling me to love to my heart’s content and
ultimate fulfillment!
Irrespective of age; from nursery onwards up to
the old age; and irrespective of profession; from
blacksmith to prime minister; everybody can
practice NAMAMSRAN and get this fulfillment.
I think this is how it was in India at some point in
4. time, when people could love; to their heart’s
content and ultimate fulfillment!!
