The document discusses reflections and creations, and how they can provide both pleasure and horror. It notes that people commonly enjoy watching their mirror image and receiving compliments, and performers enjoy audiences' applause. Creations like successful surgeries or films can also boost creators. However, reflections and creations sometimes show horrifying failures, which abstract thinkers working to help the world face through lack of or distorted feedback and creations. The document questions whether namasmāran, or remembrance of the divine name, could help such people, suggesting it is worth trying.
2. Watching in mirror is common. The
assurance and reassurance our
mirror image gives is familiar. The
comfort and sense of elation and
euphoria one gets; after listening to
words of compliments is experienced
by most of us. Watching the
expressions of appreciation in the
eyes of acquaintances is liked by
most of us. The performers enjoy
audiences’ applaud, so much that it
becomes their lifeline. The pleasure
of watching ourselves on TV or
3. listening ourselves on radio is
common.
We get boosted by our creations
also. For example, a surgeon feels
gratified to see successful results of
his surgery. A cinema producer feels
sense of achievement on seeing his or
her own successful film. A musician,
a painter, a sculptor, an architect
and most of us feel great by our
small or big successful creations! If
not all these, we feel satisfied to see
our progeny!
4. In short, it is revitalizing experience
to see ourselves in one thing or the
other.
But sometimes and more often we
see horrifying failures in our
reflections and creations. An
abstract thinker working for the
welfare of the world is faced with
lack or distortion of reflections and
creations! It is even more horrifying!
Can NAMASMARAN help such
people? Well! It is worth trying and
verifying.
