It is said; that as we grow further; NAMASMARAN becomes so intense; that we get connected with the NAMA i.e. ISHWAR and every act of ours; or actually our mere existence as such; becomes the universally blossoming activity; the true NISHKAMA KARMA.
2. One of the questions that often disturbs us is; тАЬwhat is the
sense in praying for the welfare of all, when it is an impossible
proposition?тАЭ
Is it not true that it is impossible for every one to be happy?
Why should we pray for such unrealistic goal?
In Sanskrit there is a prayer as follows:
Sarvetrah sukhinh santu
Sarve santu niramayaah
Sarve bhadrani pashyantu
Maa kaschit dukkham aapnuyat
Grossly speaking this means:
Let every body be happy
Let every body be pure at heart
Let every body see (experience) divinity
Let every body be free from sorrow.
Is this ever possible?
Can all; around 7000 million people of world; be happy, pure,
divine and free from sorrow?
3. Is this possible in view of innumerable varieties of
psychological and physiological variations, diseases, handicaps;
besides; political, economic, cultural and other variations?
Is this possible (even if all 7000 million human beings and
other living beings are emancipated) if we consider the millions
of human beings and other living beings being born a new;
every second?
What about the other living beings such as animals and plants,
which are often brutally killed and eaten or used for leather,
fur, teeth, blood, bile etc; or exploited in other ways?
Similarly is it really ever possible to have unconditioned love,
equality, nonviolence etc, in view of our different, variable and
varying personalities, constitutions and tendencies (e.g.
cheating, exploitative, criminal)?
The answer to this question is:
In view of the nature of NATURE; we can not predict the
future of the universe in terms of detailed characteristics. It is
not desirable also to plan (because it is unnatural, absurd and
arbitrary) a detailed protocol/blue print for the whole universe
(or even an individual); and expect or impose it coercively!
But; while the prayer is for universe; it automatically helps us;
in our blossoming and transformation; from TAMOGUNA
4. and RAJOGUNA to SATVAGUNA; and finally to the state of
GUNANATEETAVASTHA i.e. from baddha (state of
bondage) to mumukshu to sadhak to siddha. Siddha is the state
of eternal freedom. It is a state of blissful, omniscient,
omnipotent, omnipresent experience; which is called
AMRUTANUBHAVA.
The prayer and its effect (attainment of AMRUTANUBHAVA)
continue through ages; to serve the ever renewing life
everywhere and in all forms; from time to time. This perfectly
concurs with the eternally valid enlightened wisdom in the
apparently simple preaching of тАЬNAMASMARAN for the sake
of only NAMASMARANтАЭ; by Shri Gondavlekar Maharaj
from Gondavle in India.
