If and as we “see” this subtle reality; we would “see” the universal benevolence of NAMASMARAN (the state of self remembrance) and rise from our slumber, lethargy, indolence, irresponsibility on the one hand and meanness, insecurity, agitation and petty selfish obsessions (the state of NAMAVISMARAN i.e. self forgetfulness). We would then; not only practice NAMASMARAN with topmost priority; but try to share its holistic benevolence with maximum people.
2. I checked out of a hotel room and left for air port.
Just on the way I realized that I had forgotten a wrist watch
gifted by my daughter.
I became extremely restless and immediately rushed back.
What would have I done, if I had forgotten just a handkerchief
or a small pack of pea nuts? I certainly would not have been so
restless and would not have rushed back. Handkerchief and
peanuts give me comfort and/or pleasure and are useful. But
they are not; the nearest and the dearest things; to my heart.
My body is the “hotel room” and the NAMASMARAN is the
powerful and efficient reminder of the nearest and dearest
things to my heart (even if I may not be aware of it today).
NAMASMARAN ensures; remembering, carrying and
accomplishing the nearest and dearest things to my heart and
empowers me to enjoy ecstatic freedom from restlessness and
anxiety!
