Total stress management is difficult to articulate and share effectively due to its complexity. It addresses stress and tensions in a holistic way rather than through reductionist or escapist approaches. Sharing concepts related to total stress management, such as NAMASMARAN, provides less instant gratification compared to sharing other topics. One must persist patiently in sharing total stress management while remembering that it presents a holistic solution to stress but takes continuous effort to understand and implement.

2. As and when one gets the intense urge to
share one’s desires, passions, needs,
feelings, thoughts, imaginations,
intuitions, dreams and convictions; one is
motivated; to talk, sing, dance, write,
paint etc.
The activity of sharing becomes a
pleasurable lifeline! This activity of
sharing gives immense pleasure, when it
is easy. Thus sharing of passions of food,
sexual gratification, traveling; sentiments
of love, care etc; and aspirations such as
money, power, publicity etc; are easily
shared. The feelings of anger, revenge,
insecurity, fear etc are also easily shared.
One can get gratification from such
sharing, though it fades through time and
one is left to bask in the glory of bygone
past, or get depressed!
But sharing the aspirations of welfare of
universe is very difficult to articulate and

3. share effectively. This is because such
aspirations have a relatively weak
physiological substrate or template in the
brain, in the form of cerebral cortex; as
against the other aspirations which are
strongly supported by subcortical
structures in the brain.
The TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT
(not merely the individual stress, tensions
etc and their ad hoc, reductionist and
escapist stress management or stress
relaxation) is therefore; very difficult to
articulate and share! The concept, scope
and potentials of NAMASMARAN are
also difficult to articulate and share
smoothly and pleasurably!
In as much as the sharing (studying,
practicing, talking, reading, writing etc)
the TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT
form part of TOTAL STRESS
MANAGEMENT, it does not produce

4. instant results and hence is not as
gratifying as the sharing of other things
is! One has to keep on sharing while
constantly and continuously remembering
that; even though the TOTAL STRESS
MANAGEMENT is the holistic and most
urgent solution to universal stress, it is
very difficult to comprehend, appreciate
and practice! This remembrance makes
one; patient, buoyant and strong enough;
to victoriously pursue the practice and
sharing of TOTAL STRESS
MANAGEMENT without getting
depressed and frustrated.
