The aspirations, duties and missions; no more remain “his” or “her”! The mission thus gets freed from the subjective attachment (often resulting fanaticism), infatuations and frustrations; and blossoms; into the aspirations of the entire universe (cosmic will); in true sense.

2. One of the moot questions; is; how do billions of people live
throughout with their spouse, till they die? What is the nature
of bond between them?
Another moot question is; why and how are millions of people
devotees of some body or else and practice some or other kind
of religious rituals every day and throughout their life? What
is it that motivates the people to devote their lives; for their
guru, their deity or their leader? What is it that bonds them
with their idol?
The rationalists try to analyze life. But beyond a point; the core
of the life viz. the human bonds; cannot be analyzed. We can
only experience and appreciate them!
Up to a certain stage of development; romance is a
physiological need and hence an unwritten, yet inbuilt goal of
life. There is definitely a sense of fulfillment and achievement
in life, as and when one falls in love that culminates in a family
and later a pedigree! In human beings; this fulfillment has
physiological as well as social, religious, and ideological
ingredients!
This fulfillment is however; insufficient after a certain stage of
development (not necessarily age). Hence the people of various
ages and different backgrounds; turn to some one whom they
instinctively identify as their own leader, guru or deity; and
follow, devote to; or worship him or her; respectively! This is a

3. transition from jismani (physiological) to ruhani (spiritual or
divine) mohabbat (romance).
Thus the natural leaders with different intellectual and
spiritual stature; are gifted with; an inbuilt “concern” for the
people of their race, religion, nation and at a highest stage of
their development; for the whole mankind or universe! They
and their followers have matching and fitting points in their
personalities. They get bonded like the antigen – antibody or
receptor – ligand; which bind with high specificity and high
affinity.
It is not possible to prove this, but can be appreciated.
What is the role of rationality?
Rationality is important for us; to understand that the
stupidity, ignorance and pettiness ditch us into the abyss of
individual and global disagreement, discord, degeneration,
derangement, disease, decay and destruction; and to reach
divine romance, we have to first overcome these basal,
barbaric and beastly elements inside us and also outside us!
But since the same rationality often laden with ego; may justify
our pettiness; we need to purify it by measures such as
NAMASMARAN and ascend from the pettiness to
physiological and human romance and there from the divine or
universal romance! This is Total Stress Management!
