Just as when there is a threat to oxygen content in the atmosphere, just breathing is not enough. All of us; the governments, the organizations and individuals; are required to work for increasing oxygen content in the atmosphere. Similarly; when there is paucity of awareness and insight in NAMASMARAN, which is vital for sustaining and blossoming individual and universal life; in the global ambiance, it essential and urgent to promote it.

2. Student: Sir, It is said that NAMASMARAN is exclusively a
personal issue. It is so much personal that nobody; not
even the family members and spouse; is a partner in it. If
this is so, then why should we promote it?
Teacher: It is true that NAMASMARAN is a personal issue.
It is like breathing. No one can breathe on our behalf!
Student: Then why should we promote it?
Teacher: Just as when there is a threat to oxygen content
in the atmosphere, just breathing is not enough. All of us;
the governments, the organizations and individuals; are
required to work for increasing oxygen content in the
atmosphere. Similarly; when there is paucity of
awareness and insight in NAMASMARAN, which is vital
for sustaining and blossoming individual and universal
life; in the global ambiance, it essential and urgent to
promote it.
Student: But Sir! Is it not inappropriate to promote it;
when we ourselves have so many drawbacks?
Teacher: It is inappropriate to assume authority and
preach but it is appropriate, essential and urgent to share
the importance of NAMASMARAN in sustaining and

3. blossoming individual and universal life; with maximum
people.
Student: But is it not true that this is going to happen in
any case through the comic will?
Teacher: It is true. The dark clouds of NAMAVISMARAN
will disappear; but how? It is through the promotion of
NAMASMARAN; by us, the fortunate ones. It is a great
bounty, if we could follow the cosmic i.e. our Guru’s will!
Student: But is it not true that we should try to improve
ourselves and not try to transform the world? Is it not
preposterous or mega maniacal to assume that we can
transform the world?
Teacher: It is true that we should try to improve
ourselves by maximum practice of NAMASMARAN. But
even this would be catalyzed if the ambience is
conducive; and not unfavorable or suffocating!
Student: Does it not shift our focus from NAMASMARAN?
Teacher: If we are involved in NAMASMARAN for 24
hours, then this argument is valid. But we use it as an
excuse, even as we are unnecessarily and inadvertently
involved in useless and counterproductive activities!
