2. NAMA is a word used to indicate true self; inseparable
from the unifying universal self. Hence forgetting our
self or being oblivious to our self can be referred to as
NAMAVISMARAN [NAMA (self); VISMARAN
(forgetting)].
As we “forget” our true self (NAMAVISMARAN), i.e.
undergo a “descent” into our caricatures, we begin to
live as our caricatures. We then get segregated into
races, philosophies, ideologies, religions, cultures,
nations, regions, families and individuals! Latter we
descend further by the downward momentum of
individualization and into pettier and meaner life!
This universal process of NAMAVISMARAN
manifests in the form of individualistic and often
antisocial whims, fancies, idiosyncrasies, delinquencies,
perversions, family disputes, quarrels; and world wide
spate of antisocial activities leading to dissipation,
dispersion, disruption, distortion, decomposition,
disease, degeneration and destruction.

3. Since the root of the individual and universal problems
lies in the universal process of NAMAVISMARAN, the
panacea for the radical measure for the cure and
prevention of the individual and universal problems;
lies in reversal of the prevalent universal process of
NAMAVISMARAN through active practice and
promotion of universal process of NAMASMARAN.
Individual and universal blossoming would begin with
the polarization of us (the inhabitants of the world);
into those who dedicate themselves to practice and
promote NAMASMARAN; and those who ignore,
neglect, avoid, doubt, suspect, resist, condemn,
ridicule, suppress and oppose NAMASMARAN either
actively or passively (by remaining inert and idle).
The latter also would get the chance to practice and
promote NAMASMARAN and individual and
universal blossoming because of global momentum;
though after varying trials and tribulations.
