This document discusses stress, fear, and anxiety as arising from an isolated individual consciousness separated from an objective consciousness. Reaching the root of one's individual consciousness allows one to realize the immortality and cosmic nature of the objective consciousness, which allays restlessness and anxiety. Total Stress Management involves going to the root of the individual consciousness and experiencing oneness with the cosmic 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!

3. 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 consciousness! Further, we realize that we have been able 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!

4. 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!
