Whatever you wish does not get fulfilled because there is no space in your life where new creation can happen.

Again and again repeating the word 'not me' – namaha - directly hits at the root of the ego, which is the sole culprit responsible for all our problems. Repeating the word namaha in your inner space breaks the unconscious part of our mind where the root cause of all the health problems resides.
