We need not believe (or disbelieve) in anything from all of this; blindly or even with open eyes! Instead; it is better to accept provisionally; think over, study and give Total Stress Management (the core of which is NAMASMARAN) a fair trial, if and when we feel (and we abound to feel) the urge!

2. Many of us often articulate our STRESS; as;
“I am not able to identify myself amidst own images made and
broken.
I am not able to identify you because of your camouflage of
urges and cravings.
I am not able to recognize them because of my own observing
capacity full of prejudices and presumptions.
I am not able to perceive the light amongst the weirdly moving
shadows inside and outside.
I am not able to listen to the music amongst the cacophony
inside and outside.
I am not able to even live as myself due to “my” separation
from my true self
I am under stress due to increasing chasm between my “self”
and me; due to continuous bombardment of petty pains and
pleasures
The anxiety, tension, worry, fear, indolence, inertia,
indifference, disinterestedness, lowliness, resentment,
depression, misery and helplessness also; spring from; the
combined metabolic, endocrine, autonomic and central
nervous activities.

3. In other words; the ongoing interactions between the whole
body and the brain; and the surroundings; leads to the
different moods and various actions in perspective, thoughts,
feelings, passions and body.
If we are able to govern these, then we can manage the stress
arising out of these! But who governs this whole panorama at
present?
Some call it God, some call it nature. Some call it “Self”
implying ATMAN. Some say there is no cause or governance!
But be that as it may; are we to simply get helplessly dragged
after all these interactions and the stress?
No. But mere intellectual explanations; and theoretical
discussions, arguments and deliberations and controversies on
the intricacies involved in Total Stress Management; without
actual experimentation; don’t work.
We have to reach the seeds of our being; the seeds of our
happiness! The practice and propagation of NAMASMARAN;
however; reaches and nurtures these seeds of our being and
the happiness blossoms as follows:
The random dance of the being….
The bubbling frenzy of living…
The vigorous restlessness of moving….
The haunting fragrances…

4. The tempting tastes….
The mesmerizing melodies….
The reassuring and loving words….
The hilarious jokes and fun…..
The awesome grandeur and glamour...
The stirring and stunning attraction…
The captivating bonds and memories...
The protracted incompleteness ….
The throbbing of heart ….
The inevitable union ….
The fulfillment of caring and rearing...
The queer calls of heart and soul….
The endless drag towards unknown….
The burning motivation for justice
The unending inexplicability…
The exploding turmoil…
The helplessness of impotency….
The vastness of universe ….
The versatility of human genius….
The humility of one’s frailty….
The unifying diversity
The innate yet ubiquitous orchestra…
The harmony of moments ….

5. All living within us!
If we take the analogy of disturbance in electric supply; for
stress; then Total Stress Management is like actually reaching
he powerhouse of the electricity and making all rectification
there; and not merely discussing the wiring, voltage, changing
the bulbs etc.
It is like being a king; and NOT merely discussing and
gossiping about the kings, their politics and bravery; or
enacting the role of kings in a drama or movie!
We need not believe (or disbelieve) in anything from all of
this; blindly or even with open eyes! Instead; it is better to
accept provisionally; think over, study and give Total Stress
Management (the core of which is NAMASMARAN) a fair
trial, if and when we feel (and we abound to feel) the urge!
