The document discusses total stress management and addresses sources of fear, anxiety, and stress that arise from an isolated individual consciousness separated from objective consciousness. Reaching the root of individual consciousness allows one to realize immortality and oneness with the cosmic objective consciousness, which alleviates restlessness and anxiety by giving humility and assurance that all people have the potential for this state. Total stress management involves going to the root of individual consciousness through remembrance and asserting oneself fearlessly.

2. Our physical existence, passions, feelings, thoughts and
perspective; are stressed, weak; diffident and insecure;
when separated from the objective consciousness; as we
are cut off from the fountainhead of power, confidence
and assurance!
The fear of losing identity, losing individual life, losing in
mission of life; is a hallmark of growing but isolated
individual consciousness. The resentment and anxiety
about prevalence of injustice (according to our
perception); also springs from growing but isolated
individual consciousness. The apprehension that
somebody else “steals” “our” credit also springs from
this isolated individual consciousness!
The progress of our individual consciousness into the
objective consciousness, which keeps “inviting” us
continuously; from within; in spite of the limitations of
our individual consciousness; is Total Stress
Management, which is not easy, but it is inevitable and
unavoidable!
When we reach the root of our individual consciousness;
our fear disappears because of the realization of the
immortality and cosmic nature of our objective

to reach this sublime state in spite of our innumerable
drawbacks (traditionally termed vices or sins)! This gives
us humility and also the assurance that everyone in the
universe has potential to reach this state; though not
necessarily as per our anticipation! This allays our
restlessness and anxiety! Moreover, our craze for credit
vanishes as we realize that; in the objective consciousness
that we have reached; the “time itself is contingent” and
rendering the worry and anxiety about “our credit”,
“our pioneering”, “ we creating”, “ we following” etc
redundant, null and void!
Total Stress Management (TSM) is going to the root of
our individual consciousness and experiencing oneness
with the cosmic or objective consciousness, through
NAMASMARAN and asserting ourselves
(SWADHARMA) fearlessly!
Total Stress Management is a universal, inevitable and
unavoidable phenomenon; even if we are timid, afraid,
indolent, lethargic, worried, anxious and diffident and
reluctant; to even verify this fact; in the beginning! In
fact, Total Stress Management is the most fulfilling
golden opportunity!
