It is very true that we dream to be somebody; in terms of a certain profession or occupation
. Sometimes we become so and sometimes we dont. Subsequently; we try to project ourselves as someone and people accept or take us as someone, the two either matching or otherwise!
The realized dream; our projection and the public appraisal however; never give complete satisfaction and fulfillment. This is what causes stress.
What is the reason for this?
The reason for such stress is that our dreams never match the majesty of our true nature or our true self, which is infinite and immortal. Our own appraisal and projections even if bloated and hyped; also do not match the grandeur of our true self. Lastly, the public opinion or what we perceive as public opinion; also do not match the sublime character of our true self.
In other words, there is underestimation in our dreams, our own appraisal, our projections and the actual or perceived public opinions. This is so; even if we are approved and branded as successful; by ourselves and the others.
This is why even if we are achievers and have achieved extraordinary success; are often hollow from within and deeply melancholic. Even if we are towering personalities having achieved enormously; often land up in various symptoms of frustration and depression in terms of addictions, crimes, perversions and/or suicides.
We have to introspect and assess our so called successes or failures in this light and reach the core of our self, which is infinite and imperishable source of bliss.
But how is this possible?
It is said by the enlightened seers; that this is possible through NAMASMARAN.
