Stress and lack of focus on Namasmaran (remembrance of the divine) has led to degeneration and degradation, dragging us towards barbaric values from within and temptation from without. Namasmaran can help open our inner eyes to recognize true wisdom and enlightenment, overcoming pettiness and superficiality to focus on and respect the source of global harmony. Regular practice of Namasmaran is needed to open ourselves to global unity and participate in creating a harmonious global orchestra.

2. It is true that we should learn to rise
above the disturbing influences from
inner and outer environment.
But it is also true that in the process of
such rising; one gets the urge to
respond to the surroundings as well!
The misery, depression, frustration,
hopelessness, melancholy and
helplessness infect and inflict us from
inside and outside and compel us to
respond to them!
While trying to focus; on the all time
bounty of NAMASMARAN; I often
realize that the inadequacy of faith,
conviction and practice of
NAMASMARAN; has lead to our
degeneration or degradation to such
an extent that we are unable to

3. recognize, appreciate, respect and
obey the wisdom and enlightenment.
We are dragged by barbaric values!
We are swallowed by our meekness,
lethargy, dullness, selfishness,
exploitativeness, crookedness etc from
inside and we are devoured by the
pettiness, glamour, glitter,
hooliganism, temptation of quick (even
if it is fraudulent) money from outside!
We are blinded by values which take
us away from our true selves and
make us miserable! We; in our
lowered state of consciousness seem to
“enjoy” this deliriousness and spread
the stupefaction far and wide and
mislead others, including the younger
generation to the abyss.

4. NAMASMARAN can open our inner
eyes of wisdom and help us recognize,
appreciate, respect and follow the
wisdom and enlightenment so that we
can blossom together!
In absence of NAMASMARAN; we
would keep on getting dragged by
barbaric elements, basal forces,
vicious conspiracies, malevolent
transactions or suicidal acts (inside
and outside); and keep on respecting,
appreciating, promoting and
empowering them knowingly or
unknowingly!
Through the practice of
NAMASMARAN it is possible to open
our inner eyes and “see” the global
unity; overcome influences of the
pettiness and superficiality; and focus

5. on and respect the melodious source of
the global orchestra and participate in
orchestra of global harmony!
Unless such orchestration ensues,
there can not be consensus on globally
important issues and hence the agonies
and/or perversions can not be abated
or curbed.
