Guru Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar discusses the true self, which is beyond individual consciousness. This true self is referred to as God or Guru, and is objective, accurate, and universally benevolent. One's guru, Shri Gondavalekar Maharaj, taught that the way to realize and be this eternal and blissful true self is through practicing NAMASMARAN, which means remembering the true self through repetition of its name. NAMASMARAN is described as an incoming and unstoppable global spring. Those who realize this and participate by practicing and sharing the experience of NAMASMARAN are blessed and privileged.

2. When I say “I”, it refers to what is known and/or
what is encompassed by my consciousness. It does
not refer to true self.
This true self, beyond my consciousness is God or
Guru. He is objective, accurate and hence
universally benevolent! It is the same as what is
traditionally referred to as NAMA.
My guru Shri Gondavalekar Maharaj taught
throughout his life; that; the way of realizing or
actually being this true self, which is eternal,
immortal and full of ecstasy, is by orienting to it by
SMARAN (remembering) NAMA (it) i.e. by
practicing NAMASMARAN.
NAMASMARAN is an incoming and blissfully
unstoppable global spring!
Blessed and privileged are those, who realize this;
and begin to participate in welcoming this spring by
practicing and globalizing NAMASMARAN through
sharing the experience of its grandeur with others!
