This document discusses the concept of self-realization and a hypothesized "super autonomic nervous system" that may be involved in non-sequential thinking and holistic perception. It argues that the purpose of all human accomplishments and knowledge is to work towards self-realization. Instincts of racial, religious, or political supremacy obstruct individual and global blossoming. The simplest way to achieve an evolved state of living and self-realization is through the practice of NAMASMARAN, or remembering the divine name.

2. We may call it intuition, sixth sense, divine guidance,
spell of good power, divine love or anything. It is beyond
our logic and sometimes even against our logical
arguments. One is tempted to hypothesize existence of
“super autonomic nervous system” that is differently and
vaguely described as residing in the right cerebral
hemisphere of right handed people and in charge of non
sequential thinking, appreciation of poetry, holistic
perception and so on. In my view this vaguely described
functional complex which I refer to as super autonomic
nervous system resides well spread in several silent areas
such as those of prefrontal cortex.
But the purpose of this article is not merely to indicate
this possibility; but to visualize the culmination; of the
vast panorama of knowledge; in the form of various arts
(including martial arts and arsenals), sports, literature,
science, technology, religions, ethics, rituals, laws etc and
overall accomplishments of mankind. Let us visualize
and remind ourselves and reiterate repeatedly that the
purpose and the culmination of all the accomplishments
of mankind is self realization (which may be tangible in
future; in terms of evolution of super autonomic nervous
system). We, the people of world (irrespective of
religions, races, and nationalities) have to keep on

3. organizing, reorganizing, orienting and reorienting our
accomplishments in the direction of this self realization.
While the instincts of not merely survival, but racial,
religious, ideological, cultural, economic and political
supremacy are natural and understandable; they are
undoubtedly the obstacles in individual and global
blossoming. The indiscriminate violence and rabid
propaganda for one’s racial, religious, ideological,
cultural, economic and political supremacy are
counterproductive and self defeating.
Let us realize that we are blessed to participate in the
real and most urgent expedition of conquering the basal
nature of ourselves, which prevents us from self
realization (being truly nonviolent, happy and in evolved
state of living that preempts our pettiness and
superficiality)! We are really fortunate to have the
potential to acquire such a state of living! Even as there
are many ways prescribed by many for such evolved
living; the simplest and universal one is
NAMASMARAN, which need not be believed, but
verified.

4. Practicing, preaching, writing, publishing, broadcasting,
sponsoring, talking, sharing; in fact; doing whatever we
can to promote NAMASMARAN (and other activities
and programs in respective fields conducive to
NAMASMARAN and self realization) ensures and
ensues individual and global blossoming.
