1. STRESS
AND
“WIN AND WIN”

2. STRESS as such; is not produced by the natural
divisions in our universe.
Thus male and female, sun and moon, light and dark,
life and death, fusion and fission; are not contradictory
and not mutually contra posed. They do not create
conflict. They exist complementarily. In fact; they
contribute rhythm and harmony to universe and our
life.
But the divisions associated with our prejudices,
grudges, superiority and inferiority complexes; such as
those based on color, region, race, religion, language,
caste, occupation and such other trivia; spread
STRESS of every kind.
As a corollary; it is also true that our lack of
understanding and practice of Total Stress
Management (the core of which is NAMASMARAN)
leads to such inhuman divisions conducive to STRESS.
The unevolved, petty and basal elements in us are
usually strong. We are governed by them to a large
extent in our personal and social life; though these
undercurrents are occult, unconscious, subconscious,
private, secret and hence not apparent.

3. Due to lack of understanding and practice of Total
Stress Management (the core of which is
NAMASMARAN) these undercurrents thrive and we
knowingly or unknowingly; become committed, united
and dedicated to creating, precipitating and spreading
the STRESS in personal and social life. It is not
surprising that we spend money, time, and energy and
even suffer if required; to any extent; for generating
“pandemics of STRESS of divisions, discriminations,
discord, distrust and destruction!
The effects of such STRESS in turn nurture and boost
our meanness further precipitating the manifestations
of STRESS in the form of riots, wars, crimes and
violence of every kind towards our own selves or
towards others; in our personal and social life.
The natural outcome of these evils; are the situations
such as; “win and lose”, “lose and win” or “lose and
lose”!
In other words, the vicious cycle of brutal violence,
petty wars, despicable successes, pitiable failures,
stinking richness, shameless celebrations, heinous
indifference grow within us and outside us.

4. As a result; our ability to blossom; inside and outside
withers away. We are unable to even think about or
agreeing with and cooperating with those of us who are
working towards the welfare of mankind i.e. “win and
win” situation.
Since basic cause; of the divisions created by our
prejudices the STRESS and hazards resulting from
them; is the lack of understanding of Total Stress
Management (the core of which is NAMASMARAN);
the solution to reverse the situation and create “win
and win” situation i.e. simultaneous individual and
global blossoming; is also Total Stress Management
(the core of which is NAMASMARAN).
