1. Pralhada argues that most saints and sages renounce the world and seek their own salvation/liberation in seclusion and silence. 2. However, Pralhada does not want to seek only his own liberation since he is the savior for billions of others who cannot achieve salvation anywhere else if he does not seek it for them. 3. Stress is a universal phenomenon but is not well understood by all, and it is the duty of the fortunate few who understand stress to help others manage it, as individual liberation or stress management is no longer possible and is intertwined with the liberation and stress management of billions of others.

Oh Lord, in general, most of the great saints,
sages, yogis and rishis renounce the world, live
in seclusion and observe silence in search of
salvation/liberation for themselves.
Since you are the only savior for my billions of
brothers and since they can not get salvation
from anywhere else [in case I do not seek it
from you for them],

3. I do not want to be a mean person to seek
liberation for myself alone.
So says the great Pralhada as is articulated in
SHRIMAT BHAGAVATAM.
This is especially important in view of the
fact that though stress [and hence
conceptual stress also] is a universal
phenomenon, it is not understood by all!
Only a few fortunate ones would be able to
understand and manage it. It is their
privilege and DHARMA to help others in
managing stress. In this regard it is
interesting to note that in these days neither
individual liberation nor individual stress
management are possible! They are
intricately and inseparably bound with the
liberation and stress management of billions
others!

4. Bhagiratha [who is said to have brought the
river Ganga from heaven to the earth] and
Prometheus [who is said to have stolen fire
from the gods] to save the mankind and
many others have set examples for us to
follow.
