As I said, superimposing any idea on life takes away the joy of life. The fear which has spread in your body when you see the 'snake' will not allow you to take the natural responses of 'fight or flight'. An integrated man will not perceive a rope as a snake. An authentic man will not allow the fear to spread in his body. A responsible man will not have the 'fight or flight' response. When you are in a space of enriching, you will not be beating the snake or running away.

The basic truth is - bring integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching to have the best perception! With the best perception, create your own understanding and knowledge bank about what is security, what is fear, what is good, what is bad, what is right, what is wrong, what is the goal, what is *tathaata*, 'isness'.

Listen: this is the best strategy I am teaching you for your life! I am not giving you any spiritual principles, moral science, life solution lessons. No! I am just giving you the best possible strategy for life! Best strategy for life! Best strategy for the possibility! When you understand security, understand it purely from the angle of security, not from the angle of revenge. Even if you take revenge, it is not going to bring your security back. Even if you kill all the fellows who killed others, all those who got killed are not going to come back to life. Maybe it will maintain the law and order. I accept that. But that cannot be the reason for your cognition of security.

The funniest thing is that all the basic necessary cognitions of your life are confused, messed up. If I ask you - what is disease? What is your cognition of disease? Your answer will be all about your plans to handle the disease. You do not have the cognition about the disease itself. You have the cognition only about the doctor or the medicine or what you will do after you get the disease. Look in.

*Bring integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching to have the best perception! With this, create your own understanding about what is the goal, what is *tathaata*, 'isness'!*

#### The Nature of Perception

What is your cognition about your sickness? 'I will go to Swamiji and get healed,' or 'I will go to this doctor,' or 'I will go to that doctor', or 'I will do this,' or 'I will do that'. But that is not your cognition about the disease itself. Have the right cognition about the disease, then you will not allow the disease to happen inside your body, inside your system!

Have the right cognition about security, and you will have proper security. Wherever you can't make yourself secure, you will at least know that you have to find some other solution. Then you will understand that your body can never be secure. Your mind can never be secure. What can be made secure is only you, and it can be done only by you which is Soul and Consciousness. You have to be enlightened as a basic need!

There are three levels of perception:

- No pattern, no perception this is the worst.
- Pattern with perception this is okay.
- Perception but with no pattern this is the best.

When the rope is not going to play any role in your walking in that forest, and when you don't even cognize a huge tree standing in front of you, why will you cognize the three-feet rope? The cognition coming from the correct perception keeps you completely powerful from that moment onwards.

Seeing the rope as a snake and getting frightened is *shrishti-drishti* – seeing what IS. Then realizing that the rope is a rope, not a snake, is *drishti-shrishti* – seeing what you want. The theory that none of these

possibilities exist - not being bothered about the rope, or not cognizing the rope in your inner space as a snake, or having fear for the snake – if you say that none of these possibilities exist, it is *ajaata siddhanta.* Your delusion is unborn. Your powerlessness is unborn. Your wrong perception is unborn. Your failure is unborn. When you know this, when you perceive this, you are new-born!

Dangerous perception is the only danger you have in your life, because most of the time, that is what you do!

A blind man was sitting in front of a huge fire with a burning stick in his hand. Somebody came and asked him, 'What is this? Such a huge fire! Don't you see? What are you going to do about it?'

'Yes, yes! That is why I took this burning stick and put it on my eyes. Now I am not seeing the fire!'

Can that be the solution?

You may laugh now, but all your solutions are usually of this type. And you even accept as your guru, the fool who tells 'Take the stick and put it on your eyes! You will not see the fire anymore, and the problem will be solved!' Burning your eyes is not going to give you liberation from the scenes you are seeing. It is like saying, 'Now I don't need to bother! Even if the snake is in front of me, I will

*A perception with no patterns is the best perception!*

#### The Nature of Perception

not have fear!' Look in! Shrinking from life is nothing but putting the burning stick on your eyes!

It is so unfortunate! Just because your eyes are burnt, it does not mean that the fire will not impact you or the world will not impact you! Perception of the fire is still burning from inside you, as per your experience. The innermost perception has to change. You need to realize that it is not the outside scene, but the innermost perception you carry for the outside scene, which is impacting you and giving you the experience of your reality.

I tell you, if there is a fire burning and you sit at a distance and just go on gazing at the fire, you will feel the heat in your body! If you just turn your eyes away - maintain the same distance but just turn your eyes away - you will not see the burning, and you will not experience burning in your body! How? The seeing has not reduced the distance between you and the fire! That is perception and reality!

The great news for human beings is that Maya can be crossed! Perception can be transformed! You *can* become enlightened! O humanity! I am here to give you that great news! Perception can reach perfection! When you bring perfection into the perception, a moment of perception can literally bring enlightenment!

I will give you an example. Recently we visited the cremation grounds in Varanasi. When we were watching the dead bodies burning in front of us for hours, some of us were just sleeping, some were affected and were feeling nauseated, and some were not at all affected by the same scene of the body burning part by part in front of their eyes. What is the difference? It is just the processing of the information with patterns, or the patterns with the information! The possibility of the perception!

Look in. Drill all these great truths inside you with integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching. With integrity and authenticity, drill, drill, drill! When you drill with integrity and authenticity, normal perception itself is nothing but perception of God! Because any perception will directly lead you to the space of the root of all actions, including perception!

The essence of today's satsang: bring integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching in your thinking, in your perception. You will see that the ultimate perception becomes your reality. It becomes your reality!

*Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Thank you!*

*Bring integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching in your thinking, in your perception. You will see that the ultimate perception becomes your reality!*

*Always be in a place where you will be pushed to live in authenticity. Choose friends who expose your inauthenticities to you, who constantly supply you with vitamin a authenticity! The vital vitamin for vitality is authenticity.*

## Authenticity is your Vitamin A

**Thursday, 25th April, 2013**

Today, the subject for the Nithya Satsang is perception, and the ability to go into complete perception, higher perception, and non-tolerance towards incomplete perceptions.

Listen! After the egg happens, if life still continues to happen inside the egg, only then it becomes chicken. Same way, after your body happens, if your life still continues to happen in your body, only then your perception expands. The moment your perception stops expanding, life stops happening in you. That is why I tell you - contemplating authenticity, living authenticity every day, is much more than vitamin supply for your body and mind!

Please listen: the supply of authenticity is much more important to your body and mind than vitamin supply, protein supply, glucose supply and energy supply! Knowing about your inauthenticities and getting rid of them is as important as knowing about your bad

#### Authenticity is your Vitamin A

cholesterol and getting rid of it.

Listen: always choose places and situations where your inauthenticities will be constantly exposed to you, and you will be pushed to live in authenticity. If you are in an ambience where people don't let you be inauthentic, where those around you force you to be authentic, understand that you are in heaven! You are in heaven! It is unfortunate that people choose the other way. You choose friends who never expose your inauthenticities to you, who never question you, who don't constantly supply you with Vitamin A - authenticity! The vital vitamin for vitality is Vitamin A – authenticity.

Add authenticity to your thinking in every step, every step, every step. Constantly expand, expand, and expand! Go on expanding! Don't settle down with the lower perception. What you know about human beings, what you know about the world, what you know about you – it is all imperfect perception. When you settle down with imperfect perception, it is the most horrible mistake of your life.

How to become the perfect perceiver is the next step. How to achieve that state of perfect perception is the next step. But please understand, the first decision, the major decision you need to make is, 'I will not settle down with imperfect perception!' Any conflict you have, any powerlessness you have in your life, is imperfect perception. Don't settle down with that. Allow life to happen in you.

Please listen! Inside an egg, if life is not happening, the chick won't come out. Inside your body, if authenticity is not happening, the completion, fulfillment, enlightenment, won't come out. Inside the seed, if life is not happening, the tree won't come out. Inside the seed, life has to happen, tree has to come out! Inside your body, authenticity has to happen,

enlightenment has to come out! Add authenticity to your thinking in every step.

When you have a certain perception about somebody, don't sleep with it. Don't decide that it is the ultimate. Decide you will be more authentic the next day, and you will try to understand more. Because you fought with your daughter-in-law or mother-in-law yesterday, because you fought with your husband one year ago, don't expect that it is going to be the same tomorrow also. Decide, 'Tomorrow I will expand my responsibility and my possibility, and bring new energy into life!'

When you are in conflict, suffering is naturally going to be there. It is so unfortunate that people constantly say, 'I am in conflict, I am in suffering, because of *his* inauthenticity, *her* inauthenticity, *their* inauthenticity!' Courage is the fragrance of authenticity. Cowardice is the smell of inauthenticity. Wherever you are in conflict, be very clear, *you* are in conflict, even though you point at others' inauthenticity.

If life is not continuing to happen in the seed, it is not a seed, it is dead! If authenticity is not continuously happening in you, you are not a possibility, you are dead! Constantly make authenticity happen in you, in your work, in your thinking, in your health! Constantly expand your thinking, constantly expand your perception!

*Any conflict you have, any powerlessness you have in your life, is imperfect perception. Don't settle down with that. Allow life to happen in you!*

#### Authenticity is your Vitamin A

Neither *dvaita* nor *vishishtaadvaita* nor *advaita* is wrong. All three are right at different levels. It is nothing but the ripening of authenticity; different levels of authenticity. If your authenticity has not evolved, even if you believe in *advaita,* it is inauthentic. Everything has to be based on your authenticity and experience of life.

I have seen that some people constantly experience conflict. Wherever they go, they will find some reason to be in conflict, and they will try to correct that situation! These kinds of fellows, wherever they go, will be constantly creating conflicts - in their work, in their family, in their marriage, in their relationships, in their team, everywhere because the lower perception goes on making you believe that others are responsible, and it is they who have to change.

I tell you, decide that you will become authentic. You have such a huge inner space, you can put everyone in that and process them and make them as you want! Your inner space is a huge processing unit. If you don't take responsibility, you will have only a small processing unit. You can't even process yourself and transform yourself. If you take responsibility, it will become a huge processing unit; everyone can be put in that and processed and come out as transformed beings.

If you take the responsibility and people are put in your processing unit and transformed and come out, they will all be embodiments of you, extensions of you. That is what a mystery school is all about. Mystery school is nothing but the master's inner space with his vast responsibility - whoever comes inside in whatever form is processed, transformed and released! Integrity, authenticity, responsibility, enriching – these are the huge possibility for transformation. Authenticity goes on expanding you.

If you are the head of a family, don't put the blame of any conflict or suffering on the members of the family. You take the responsibility. Then you will see, even if you put the blame on them, it will only be transforming them; boiling them only to transform them! If you are the head of a team, don't put the blame on the members of the team. The moment you put the blame on others, the responsibility on others, you renounce the power also. When you take the responsibility, you don't renounce the power. Don't settle down into the pattern of conflict and putting the blame on others. Take the responsibility to resolve your conflicts. Take the responsibility to go to the next step.

Every statement you make is very, very important! Understand, every word you utter to yourself and to others defines you to you and to others. How you define you to others can at least be changed after a few days. But how you define you to you is the most scary part, because you have to struggle so much to change that. Define yourself to you as a *siddha, mahapurusha*, incarnation, *sarvajna,* allknowing. When you define you, define yourself now itself as all-knowing, all-powerful! That is why I give spiritual names like that to devotees - *Tattvananda*, *Tattvabodhananda*, *Tripurananda*.

All the gurukul kids should know, the name I have given you is YOU! You should define yourself as that! If you are given the name of *Tripurananda*,

*Understand, it is your lower perception that makes you believe that others are responsible, and it is they who have to change!*

then you are the Lord of Tripura - all the three Universes! If you are given the name *Tattvajananda*, then you are the source from which all the spiritual principles are born! If you are given the name *Tattvabodhananda*, then you are the source where the joy of the *tattvas* resides! Define yourself now properly, because the definition you give to you is the most important thing! If your name is *Satyamayananda*, you should have *vak-siddhi*, the power to manifest your word as reality! You should be very clear, 'Whatever I utter will become reality! So I will be careful with my words! I will utter only those words which I will make into reality!'

Defining yourself to yourself should be done with life, with authenticity. If the seed defines itself to itself, 'I am a seed. I cannot do anything. Ah, my life is over!,' then it is dead! If the seed decides to be authentic, 'No, today I will at least just break my shell. Today I will sprout one small leaf. Come on! After all, now I am able to sprout one leaf. Now let me make my second leaf !' Then life is happening! Tree is happening! Our huge banyan tree's seed also would have had this dilemma when it was breaking! Because it decided to break and become a tree, today it is standing as a *kalpavriksha*, a wish-fulfilling tree!

I tell you, each one of you goes through that moment: *egg or chicken?* I am not talking about the question of whether the egg came first or the chicken came first. No, I am talking about whether you want to remain as an egg or become a chicken! Unfortunately, you cannot remain as an egg. There is no status quo in life.

Do not settle down with low-level perceptions. Live with the highest possibility! Go on expanding, expanding, expanding your possibilities. The day you decide that you are not going to settle down with your lower perceptions, your life starts expanding. You become a seeker. The

day you decide that you will settle down with your lower perceptions, you are dead. You are dead.

Go on making impossibilities into possibilities. What is life? Continuously making impossibilities into possibilities is life. When you accept that impossibility is impossibility in your life, you are dead! After that, where is life? Life is life as long as you are making all 'Impossible' into 'I-M-Possible', all 'Impossible' into 'I AM Possible'!

Listen!

*   Constantly practicing integrity brings you to the space of positivity.
*   Constantly practicing authenticity brings you to the space of possibility.
*   Constantly practicing responsibility brings you to the space of leadership.
*   Constantly bringing the space of enriching into yourself brings you to the space of enlightenment.

This is the essence of what I wanted to share with you all today.

Listen! Constantly expand your possibility.

*Continuously making impossibilities into possibilities is life!*

I tell you, your mind makes you believe that you can't expand. If your memory can work today to hold 200 pieces of information, you don't believe that tomorrow you can hold 300 pieces of information.

I tell you the truth: when you stop believing that expansion is possible, when you always refer to the past, or have an old reference for any future decision of life, you are dead! You are dead and gone! You are dead and gone.

*   I still believe my memory can expand.
*   I still believe my perception can expand.
*   I still believe my energy can expand.
*   I still believe my intuition can expand.
*   I still believe everything auspicious can expand in my life!

This is the essence of what I want to convey in today's satsang: don't settle down with small perceptions, lower-level perceptions. Go on being authentic, authentic, authentic, and expand the possibility of your perception. Expand the possibility of your perception. That is life!

*Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Thank you!*

*The space you carry inside is not the effect of the happenings of your life, it is the order you are giving to the Cosmos. Anything you decide in your inner space becomes reality in the Cosmos, reality in Existence! Have the right inner space to create your life.*

## **Your word can change the world!**

**Sunday, 28th April, 2013**

I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples, *samajis, satsangis* sitting with us around the world.

Today, I will expand on the subject, 'The space we carry inside, and how it directly affects the reality we and the people around us perceive.'

In Sanskrit we have two beautiful words, '*drishti-shrishti*' and '*shrishti-drishti*' - 'seeing what exists' and 'creating what you want to see'. Please understand, the subject I am talking about is a very subtle, very important truth. I need your complete listening. I want you to be complete.

Understand, the space we carry inside directly affects the reality which we and the people around us experience.

Internalize these two words, because I am going to use these two words, again and again: *drishti-shrishti* and *shrishti-drishti*. *drishti* means seeing.

*shrishti* means creation. *Shrishti-drishti* means that you believe what is seen by you. You see what IS. *drishti-shrishti* means that you create the reality you want!

Sometimes you believe what IS. The creation IS and you are seeing it; which most of us cognize most of the time. Most of us always feel, 'It is there. I am seeing. So I am caught! I don't know what to do!' Feeling powerless! You put all the blame on what IS. 'It is there! What can I do?'

Please understand, when you cognize, 'It is there! I am seeing!,' you already lost the game! You are fighting a losing battle! It is like you trying to conquer your wife through argument! No! It can never happen! It can never happen. You may be a great lawyer. I have seen great lawyers. You can be a great lawyer in the court, convincing any judge with any argument, but you can't win the argument at home!

The moment you cognize that what 'IS' is perceived by you, the possibility for transformation is closed. The possibility for enlightenment is closed. But the good news is, it is not true!

Please understand, the moment you cognize that what 'IS' is seen by you, the bad news is that the possibility for enlightenment is closed, the possibility for transformation is closed. The good

*Understand, the space we carry inside directly affects the reality which we and the people around us experience!*

news is, it is not true! You are not seeing what IS. You are only seeing what you want. It is always *drishti-shrishti*. You create what you want. You don't see what IS. You create what you want.

But, it so unfortunate, human beings are in such an unfortunate space, they very strongly believe that only what 'IS' is perceived by them. Especially when you cross 35-40 years, when the possibility for new ways of thinking becomes difficult and you have already built your personality with the old way of thinking, you now start feeling that if you change those basic truths, you have to change your whole existence! You have to change your whole life, which is too much!

Please understand: all your sufferings and ignorance is because of the decisions you made due to some other vested interests. Why don't you want the transformation? Because transformation now literally means that the earth on which you are standing for the last 40-50 years is going to shake!

One of the biggest delusions we create around us is that we are a success. We cannot bear the truth that we are not a success. We have to constantly reaffirm to ourselves that we are a success, and so we go on planning, looking, altering and continuously convincing ourselves to believe that the ideas with which we built our life were right. 'See, my colleagues don't have all this;. I have all this. So I am successful.' One corner of your mind laughs at you, but the other corner says 'No, no, no, I am a success!' You don't know which side to support.

You finally land up in utter confusion, thinking, 'Which part should I support? One part of me claims and consoles me that I am a success. The other part condemns me as a failure. Which part should I support?' If you are in utter confusion, be very clear, the seeking has started in

## The Science of Living Enlightenment - Revealing the four sacred principles that empower YOU!

you! If you have not yet faced the confusion, the possibility for transformation has not yet opened.

Utter confusion is the first thing any person has to face in his life for enlightenment: 'Am I a successful being or am I a failure?' As long as you are convinced that you see what exists, you will not have this confusion. And also, you don't want to enter into the confusion! You do not want to rock the boat. 'No, it is all going well! Why create problems unnecessarily?' You don't want to come to terms with reality. You do not want to take any argument rising in you to the logical conclusion!

How many of you postpone taking any logical arguments in you to their logical conclusion? Whenever an arguments arises, you postpone it, you push it aside. You don't want to take it to a logical conclusion. You suppress it. You push it under the carpet. How many of you do this in your life? It is life! Look in. Anything you push under the carpet without taking it to a logical conclusion becomes a mechanism which restrains your possibility.

Please understand, the pattern of not reaching the logical conclusion is what I call 'life imprisonment'! It is life imprisonment! Constantly pushing things under the carpet, under the carpet, under the carpet! You don't understand, a big volcano is now there under your carpet! You are sitting on

*You are not seeing what IS. You are only seeing what you want. And you create what you want!*

a volcano! How will you be able to rest? How will you be in restful awareness? That is why you are not able to sit with you. I have seen! I have seen people who are not able to sit with themselves.

See, when I started this *sannyas sampradaya* (monastic tradition), with a large number of youngsters getting trained and initiated into *sannyas*, the first and biggest problem I had to face was to teach human beings to sit with themselves. Meditation is secondary. I used to wonder – why, what happened? Have we lost trust on the *sannyas* tradition? Have we concluded that *sannyas* is not required for enlightenment or for the spiritual tradition? Have we distanced ourselves from the *sannyas* tradition?

When I started studying the situation, I realized that we have forgotten to learn and teach the basic ability to sit with ourselves. Unfortunately, we forgot to teach human beings to come to terms with reality. Why does the mainstream society not feel the need of the *sannyas* tradition? Because we have not learnt to sit with ourselves! We use religion only to the extent of makeup. Makeup is not surgery. Religion is just for a little help and a little peace and fulfilling a few desires! NO. Religion has to start from the space of restful awareness – conflict-resolution, and the ability to take our logical thinking to the logical conclusion.

We have to start with restful awareness. We have to start with carrying the right space. We have to start taking our logical questions to their logical conclusions. This should become the mainstream Hinduism. See, all religions will have both components: the knowledge component or enlightenment science, and the prayer component for consolation. *You don't have a job? Pray to God and you will have a job. You don't have health? Pray to God and he will give you health.* That is one component. And cognitive shift, spiritual knowledge, enlightenment science - that is the

other component.

All I am trying to tell you is that I am not here to judge that one is lower and the other is higher. No! I am not saying that. If you can't pray to God, where else will you go? You have to pray to Him only. But the teaching of religion has to start with the science of restful awareness, by helping human beings create the right space inside. The concept of prayer should come next. First, human beings should be taught to create the right space inside. Mainstream Hinduism should start with the teaching of creating a right space.

Please understand, the space you create inside is so powerful, it can straightaway affect the way you experience life, and others around you experience life. Let me define the term 'space'! How *you* feel things are going to be – that is what I call the 'space you create inside'. If you are very clear that your space is already in a low energy, and you have thoughts like 'Anyhow, whatever I do is not going to work out, it is not going to be successful!,' then you have already dictated it! You have already given the plan to the Cosmos - 'I want my life to be like this only, as a big failure. Please make it happen for me!' So Cosmos will stitch it and give it to you.

The space you carry inside is not the effect of the happenings of your life, it is the command you are

*The space you carry inside is not the effect of the happenings of your life, it is the command you are giving to the cosmos!*

giving to the Cosmos. You may put the blame somewhere else. You may say, 'No, no, no! I am in a low mood because of the continuous failures that have happened in my life. If you were in my shoes, you would understand why I am like this!'

You may give many reasons for the space you are in, but you need to understand the seriousness of the space you are in. Please understand, your space is the order you give to the Cosmos to prepare your future! Listen! Just like how you place an order in a restaurants after looking at the menu card, the inner space you carry is also an order you give to the Cosmos, 'I want this, this, this in my life!'

Whatever you carry in your inner space is a possibility. If you are carrying sadness, you are ordering the Cosmos to bring greater sadness into your life. If you are carrying joy, you are waiting for more joy to come in your life. If you are carrying fulfillment in you, if you are carrying completion in you, you are ordering the Cosmos to bring bigger completions in your life. If you are carrying an inability, 'Yes, I have the wrong inner space. I am depressed, but I don't know how to change it,' that is one more inner space; it means you are ordering the Cosmos to give you more powerlessness.

You are a human being! You can't afford to say, 'Yes, I have a problem, but I don't know how to transform!' No! You *have* to transform. You can't afford to say, 'Yes, yes, I am hungry, but I don't know how to get food!' Then you have to die! That is the only solution. You *can't afford* to give up on you! You can't afford to be powerless. You have to stand up. You have to find the method. You have to transform. That is the only way life is possible!

Please listen! The space you carry has to be changed. The good news about your inner space is that you can change it at this moment if you wish, because this space is not gross, it is subtle. Gross things take time to clean. Subtle things can be cleaned immediately. Please understand, if the earth is dirty, if the ground is dirty, it takes time to clean. But if the air is polluted, you can clean it easily just with a spray. Subtle things are easier to clean.

Your inner space is such a subtle thing, one right declaration is enough; you are free! One completion is enough, you are free! You are out of that low mood you were carrying! You are out of that wrong inner space you were carrying! You are out of that deep negative cognition you were carrying!

Just one thought of fear can make you unsettled. Just one thought of lust can make you excited. Just one thought of your enemy can aggravate anger in you. So, just one thought of completion can purify your inner space! If just one thought of lust can excite you, if just one thought of fear can agitate you, if just one thought of your enemy can bring anger in you, then just one thought of completion is enough to transform your space.

Somehow, we don't believe that last statement. 'No, everything else looks logical. I have experienced it. But the last statement - is it true?' Then we say,

*Your inner space is such a subtle thing, one right declaration is enough; you are free! One completion is enough, you are free!*

## Your word can change the world

'No, no, no! You are an enlightened being. Maybe it is possible for you; not for us.' See, whenever you feel you are cornered, you are forced to transform, you immediately push me aside. 'No, you are a great person! You are an enlightened being! You are an incarnation. It is possible for you; not for normal people like us.'

Sometimes people show devotion just to escape from my teaching! Please understand, if devotion is for the wrong reason, it cannot transform you. It has to be for the right reason. It has to be for the right reason. The first thing you need to know is that your inner space can be transformed. Inner space can be transformed!

I will guide you into a very simple process. Take a few moments and look in. See what kind of space you are in. Is it peaceful or sleepy or dull or agitated? What kind of a space are you in? Look in. Be sensitive. Be aware of that space for just two minutes. Close your eyes and try to be aware.

Take these few moments to bring your awareness to your inner space. Because, now I am experientially going to support you, help you, to transform your inner space.

Yes. Now please understand, can somebody else be responsible for what you feel about you? No! It is your boundary! Your inner space is your boundary. Nobody else can be responsible for it. It is only you who can be responsible for it. It is only you who can be responsible. Even if you say that somebody else is the reason, that person does not suffer. Who suffers? You! So when something is affecting you, whether you are the reason for it or not, you are only responsible for it, and for changing it if needed. It is not that the person who is the reason will always take the responsibility. Many

times, when you are the reason for something, you don't take the responsibility. Now it is time; understand that whether you are the reason for it or not, you are responsible for whatever is inside your inner space.

Whether you are the reason or not, you are responsible. The moment you decide that you are responsible for the inner space you are carrying, you know that you have to change it. Your inner space is nothing but the words you repeat, again and again, within you. Am I right? Is there anything else? So, now decide consciously that you will repeat the right words within you. Consciously repeat the right words.

You will say, 'No, no, no! I tried this, but I failed!', How many times did you try? You must have repeated the negative words ten thousand times. So, try at least ten times now to repeat the right words. You may fail ten times. Nothing wrong! You fail because of the pattern built by you. Now try ten times. Bring awareness. Decide that *you* are responsible, and *you* have to change it, because it is affecting *you*. Your wrong inner space is directly affecting *you*. So, naturally, whether you are the reason or not, whether somebody else is the reason or not, *you* have to change it. *You* are responsible. It is you who is responsible. It is you who is the reason.

*Your inner space is nothing but the words you repeat, again and again, within you!*

## Your word can change the world

The inner space you carry has to be transformed, because you take decisions based on your inner space. Please understand, if you are in a peaceful, relaxed mood, even if there are big risks, dangers, difficulties, you will take the right decision with patience, and you will expand in your life. If you are in agitated mood, feeling suffocated, you won't take even small risks.

How many of you feel that just because of the wrong inner space, you missed your business deals, your expansion in life, your growth in life; you missed many possibilities in many dimensions? So, all of you know the importance of the right inner space.

Now I want you to understand, whether you believe it or not, whether you accept it or not, and no matter how many millions of reasons you give, there are some things which can't be changed. Whether you accept it or not, believe it or not, understand it or not, you are God! Your inner space is all-powerful! It carries the DNA of *aham brahmasmi*! Your inner space carries the DNA of *aham brahmasmi*.

How many ever arguments you may give, a country's constitution cannot be changed. In the same way, you may give a million reasons, many arguments, to prove that you are not God, and you are not divine, and you are not all-powerful. You think, 'I am not even able to get a cup of coffee when I want it. Then how can I be all-powerful? I don't even know what is happening in my spouse's mind. How can I be allknowing?' You have very silly reasons to deny the possibility of your inner space. Please understand, you never tried to explore your inner space. How can you deny it before even trying?

Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi gives a very beautiful example: 'People go on saying that God is not there. He is just walking behind you!

You never look back even once! You never look in even once! You just go on denying His existence. You never tried to work on your inner space with authenticity and integrity even once!

Understand: if I am expressing the *ashta maha siddhis*, extraordinary *yogic* powers, it is not to show that I am extraordinary; it is just to show that it is possible for you! It is possible for you! Nothing more is required than carrying the space, with the understanding - 'When THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM can do it, I can do it!' That's all!

To learn swimming, all you need is to see somebody swimming, and cognize, 'When he can do it, I can do it!' That's all! Then you will simply know which leg to move first, which leg to move next; which hand to move first, which hand to move next. Even if you read encyclopedias on all types of swimming, you won't be able to learn swimming! It is just a knack. It is just a knack.

Same way, the space of possibility is just a knack. You need to see somebody playing with it and doing it. And you need to know, 'When he can, I can!' When you see somebody swimming, the first step is to understand, 'Wow! When he can, I can!' That is the first step. Second step - 'Let me jump and do what he is doing!' But you will have all possible reasons not to jump! 'No, no, no! What will happen if I drown?'

*Whether you accept it or not, believe it or not, understand it or not, you are God! Your inner space is all-powerful! It carries the DNA of aham brahmasmi!*

## Your word can change the world

## A story for you:

Once, an enlightened master and his disciple were traveling through a forest. After a long time, the master decided to rest under a tree, and the disciple went to fetch drinking water from a nearby river. Suddenly he fell into the river. He started screaming, 'Master, save me! Save me! Save me!' The master came and just stood on the bank. He said, 'You can save yourself.' The disciple was shocked. 'No, no! Teach me all your philosophy, all your *Vedanta*, at some other time! Please save me first!'

The master just said, 'Save yourself.'

The disciple started shouting, 'I have to be *alive* to practice all your *Vedanta*! Teach me all that when I am on the ground, not when I am in the water! I am drowning! I am drowning!'

The Master coolly repeated, 'Just save yourself !'

The disciple started wailing, 'Oh, save me! Save me! Save me!'

Then the Master roared, 'Fool! Just stand up and see!'

In that fear, the disciple did not know what he was doing. He just stood up - and saw that the water was only up to waist-level!

I tell you - all your problems are like this! It is just your decision to stand up in your inner space! But the fears you carry look so real that you say, 'No, I cannot stand up! I cannot stand up! I will do whatever else you say. I will worship you! But don't tell me to stand up!' But you have to do exactly what you don't want to do! You should be made

to do that forcibly - because that is where your inauthenticity is!

What you resist will persist. You don't need to do anything else; only do whatever you are resisting. Please understand, only what you resist persists in your life! It is just a pattern! You need to look in; what is the pattern you resist strongly in your life? What do you think you CAN'T do, you CAN'T manage? If you look, that will be the exact thing which stops you, binds you and keeps you in life imprisonment!

I have seen this with one of my devotees who had stage-fear. He couldn't even stand on a raised platform! I started speaking to him about why he has this fear. Through root-pattern analysis, we discovered an incident that happened when he was very young, when he was just a two-year-old baby. One day, because he was throwing a tantrum, his mother put him on the dining table, threatening, 'Keep quiet and don't move, or you will fall down!' See, for a child, a dining table is too high! So from that moment, the fear of heights started in him. And he was still carrying it..!

If you just look inside, the reason for your powerless inner space will be some root thought-pattern. Break that! Reclaim your freedom! Declare your freedom! Raise your inner space to the peak of joy, fulfillment, excitement!

*If you just look inside, the reason for your powerless inner space will be some root thoughtpattern. Break that! Reclaim your freedom!*

## Your word can change the world

In the Upanishads, it is told that when the seeker Shvetaketu was initiated by his guru, his guru said to him only nine times, '*Tat tvam asi! Tat tvam asi! Tat tvam asi!*' (You are That!) Shvetaketu became enlightened just by hearing those words! Then how come you don't become enlightened even if you listen to '*Tat tvam asi!*' nine thousand times? You have to be carrying the right inner space!

On a rock, a seed cannot sprout and become a tree. Only on the right, fertile ground, the seed can become a tree. Only in the right inner space, the teachings can become reality. The right inner space is one where all the root thought-patterns of suffering have been destroyed. When your inner space is fertile for experiencing the higher ideals and ideas, all the root thought-patterns are destroyed.

I tell you, start playing with your inner space, to gain courage, to gather courage. Start with the small things which impact your life every day. Decide to tell yourself, 'With the inner space of completion, I am declaring, I am the space for my spouse listening to me!' You will see, miracles will happen! He or she will simply listen to you! Tell yourself, 'I am the space for my boss granting me a vacation!' Go with that space and play. If you try ten times, at least eight times you will see miracles happening.

Actually, only when you play with that space and see miracles happening, you will understand the power of your inner space. Don't think, 'I will be a failure even if I go with this space!' Then, naturally, you will be a failure. That is the miracle! See, if you go thinking, 'I am going to be a failure even if I go with this space!', then the space of failure is the space you are actually carrying! Because you go with the space of failure, you attract failure.

Understand, the inner space you carry is such a powerful space! It is *hiranyagarbha*, the space where the planets get created, where whole worlds happen! Your inner space is so powerful; worlds can be created or destroyed by your inner space. You may be individual, but your inner space is not individual; it is well-connected with the whole universe. So, anything you decide in your inner space becomes reality in the cosmos, reality in life, reality in Existence.

So the essence of today's *satsang* is this: have the right inner space to create your life. That will always lead to enlightenment, inspiration and success in every level of your life, in every sphere of your life, in every dimension of your life.

I bless you all to experience this great principle of right inner space, and change the world through your word. Your word can change the world! Experience this extraordinary power in your life.

*Let you all radiate integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching with eternal bliss, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM! Thank you!*

*The right inner space is one where all the root thought-patterns of suffering have been destroyed!*

*The largest untapped natural resource lying with humanity is kundalini energy. When you awaken your kundalini energy with the right knowledge, right context, right understanding , right technique and right process, it can give you anything you want!*

## Experience Kundalini Awakening!

**Sunday, 07th April, 2013**

Today, we will work on *kundalini shakti*, experientially understanding and experiencing it.

First, I will define *kundalini shakti*. Please listen! *Kundalini* energy is your inner potential bio-energy, which is available in your being, in the form of potential. Only when you awaken it with the right method, knowledge and process, it becomes a reality in you, a realization in you.

Listen! The largest untapped natural resource lying with humanity is *kundalini* energy. When you awaken your *kundalini* energy with the right knowledge, the right context, the right understanding, the right technique and the right process, it can give you *anything* you want! *Kundalini* brings the space of 'positivity' to you, the space of 'possibility' to you, the space of 'leadership' to you and the space of 'enlightenment' itself to you!

*Kundalini* is like a *kalpataru* (wish-fulfilling tree). It gives you anything you want, and the space of not wanting anything! All the techniques like *kriyas*, *yoga*, *pranayama*, meditation, process, rituals are done only to awaken your *kundalini*, either partially or fully. Vivekananda beautifully says, 'Even during your intense prayers, it is your *kundalini* which is awakened and answers your prayers and responds to your prayers'.

All the religious traditions, spiritual traditions and mystical traditions only work on awakening the *kundalini* energy. If you remove the methods and process of *kundalini* awakening from any religion, they will just become a socio-political set-up. It is the *kundalini* awakening process which brings religiousness to any religion! It is the *kundalini* awakening process that brings religiousness to religion and spirituality to spiritual traditions. Other than the *kundalini* awakening process, everything else is just a socio-political set-up, with socio-politico rules and regulations. Just as how the essence of a sweet is sugar, the essence of a religion is the *kundalini* awakening process!

Understand, the *kundalini* energy is your inner potential energy, the inner potential bio-energy and your physiological psychic energy. Psychological physic energy is sex. Physiological psychic energy is *kundalini*. Listen! Psychological physic energy is sex. Physiological psychic energy is *kundalini*.

*Kundalini is like a kalpataru (wish-fulfilling tree). It gives you anything you want, and the space of not wanting anything!*

## Experience Kundalini Awakening

It means that if it is established in the psychological space but flows towards the physical plane, it is lust. Even though it is established in the physical plane, if it is moving towards the psychological plane, it is *kundalini*.

Science is proving again and again that we use less than thirteen percent of our brain - one-three percent! Even the top scientists like Einstein, and people who are considered as the most intelligent beings who happened on planet Earth, even they have used only thirteen percent of their brain! Then most of us must be using much less than that!

Listen! The brain has two parts. One is the mechanical part, which takes care of the mechanical functions of the body, like movement of blood, intestine, heart, lungs - just the mechanical needs, the basic survival needs and managing the mechanical parts of the body. It is like this - whenever you have a *bandh* (curfew) in India, we only allow the basic survival needs to function, like milk supply, food supply, medicine supply, etc. In the same way, you have been in *bandh* in your body, for practically your whole life! You only allow the basic survival mechanisms to function, like the lungs, heart, intestine, which are the minimum needs. These are what I call the 'mechanical parts of the brain'.

There is the other part, which are the non-mechanical parts of the brain. These are endowed with extraordinary powers. Please understand, powers like telepathy, teleporting and materialization are no longer just mystical or mythological powers. No! They are math and logical - 'mathological, they are no more mythological! There is enough of scientific research that has been done on them, and established that they are not magic! They are Math and Logic! The possibility for telepathy, teleporting, *kundalini* awakenings and extraordinary powers like materialization are all available in every one of us!

Our brains are hardwired to experience higher possibilities and higher consciousness. It is this part that I call as non-mechanical parts of your brain. Please listen! There are tons and tons of scientific research done on telepathy. I was recently reading an article on a study done, where two People are made to sit in two different rooms and asked to meditate. If a light is flashed in front of one person's eyes, the other person's brain also responds and reacts to the same light, as if the light is flashed in front of this other person's eyes (even though the light is not flashed in front of his eyes)! There are tons and tons of researches like this that have been done to prove the power of telepathy, teleporting and materialization, and to prove the possibility that human beings have!

Listen! Whether you accept it or not, understand it or not, your body carries at least seventy times more energy and power than what you use in your day-to-day life. Science has proved this through various methods and ways. Just one small alteration in your brain can make you live without food, for months! I am not giving you any fantasy theory. I am giving you the practical experience of hundreds of my devotees - my disciples who are living this through *nirahara samyama*.

The inner potential energy you have and the possibilities you have is what I call the 'nonmechanical' parts of your brain. Awakening

*Our brains are hardwired to experience higher possibilities and higher consciousness. The possibility for extraordinary powers is all available to us through kundalini awakening!*

## Experience Kundalini Awakening

your *kundalini* directly awakens these non-mechanical parts of your brain and gives you extraordinary powers like telepathy, teleporting, materialization and what not! It gives you the space of positivity, possibility, leadership and enlightenment!

The *ashtamahasiddhis* (like *anima, laghima, mahima, eeshitvam, vashitva and praapti*) are possible with this! Your brain is hardwired for all these higher possibilities. Just because the common man does not have access to this science, it does not mean that it does not exist! Just because the common man does not have access to the country's treasury, you can't say that country's treasury does not exist. In the same way, just because you do not have access to these extraordinary powers, do not think that these powers do not exist! All these great powers ARE possible. It is a simple inner science!

Listen! *kundalini shakti* can directly make you more productive, more aware, more conscious, more intuitive and ultimately, more rich! It will take away the low idea you carry about you! It will take away the lower self-image you carry about you. It will show you your possibilities. It will show you the power of your intuition. It will awaken your intuition. It will awaken your intelligence. You will forget about tiredness and boredom! You will do smart work, not just hard work but smart work. And with this smart work, you will naturally see that you are more active, alive and productive in your job, in your business and in your day-to-day life.

You see, if I speak on all the ways in which *kundalini* will be useful to you in your day-to-day life, it will look like this – 'If you win a lottery of one hundred crores (hundred million), then you can buy the best shaving blade. You can buy a good cot. You can buy a good flat. You can buy a good pair of *chappals* (slippers). You can buy a good

doormat!' How funny this statement sounds! But that is exactly how it is, if I speak on all the things you can do with *kundalini* energy. You can just do anything with it! You can do *anything*!

First, it will first bring the space of positivity and possibility in you. And it will make you a leader! People will know that you are the leader, anywhere you go! People will know that you are the owner; that you are responsible and you are the energy center!

It is because of the non-availability of the right technique and the right Gurus that people are in a way distanced from *kundalini shakti*. And once the weird ideas about *kundalini* started spreading, the fear about *kundalini* also started spreading!

Soon, very soon, I will officially start a mystery school. Of course, unofficially, I am already literally running a mystery school. The morning *satsang* every day and this whole organization are nothing but a mystery school. But soon, I will officially start the mystery school, where this science of *kundalini* awakening is taught to everyone, from a newborn child to the elderly, from having a great entry to a graceful exit! All levels people will be taught the *kundalini shakti*.

You just need the right understanding, the right method, the right process and the right Guru. Then, *kundalini* IS practical and the extraordinary IS possible!

*kundalini shakti can directly make you more productive, aware, conscious, intuitive and rich! It will take away the low idea you carry about you and show you your possibilities!*

## Experience Kundalini Awakening

When your *kundalini* is awakened, you can just program your biomemory *as you want*. When your *kundalini* is functioning, when your body is responding to the *kundalini* energy, just declare to yourself at those moments - 'I am the space of positivity and integrity, the space of authenticity and possibility, the space of responsibility and leadership and the space of enriching with enlightenment!' *Your body and mind will simply radiate it, and the universe will respond to it!*

When your *kundalini* is awakened, when your body is responding to the *kundalini* energy, you can heal others and yourself. You can enrich your mind and others' mind. You can enrich your body and others' body. You can even give energy *darshan* (initiation)!

You can catch the fire for your lamp only from a burning lamp. So, *kundalini* also can be transmitted only from a bio-memory in which the bio-energy is already awakened. The bio-memory can be awakened with concepts and ideas. But the bio-energy can be awakened only by living it, and enlightened consciousness. Only in a bio-energy in which enlightenment itself is happening, in an awakened bio-energy, only an awakened *kundalini* can transmit that into another body and awaken another person's *kundalini*!

*Kundalini* can be awakened by thousands of methods. I usually use four methods.

- First, *kundalini* can be awakened by giving the right principles about life, mind and body. When you understand the right principles, your *kundalini* can be awakened.
- Second, *kundalini* can be awakened with the right *pranayama* and *kriya*.

- Third, *kundalini* can be awakened with the initiation, through transmission of energy, by the touch given on the third-eye - *ajna chakra*.
- Fourth, *kundalini* can be awakened, just by the mere will. Just by will, the transmission of energy can be done!

Through these four methods, *kundalini* is awakened.

- In the Nithya Dhyana Yoga, I use the first method - awakening your *kundalini by* giving the right knowledge.
- In the Nithya Kriya Yoga, I use the second method - awakening your *kundalini* by giving the right process.
- In Healer's initiation, I use the third method - awakening your *kundalini* by the touch on your third-eye.
- In the *satsangs*, I use the fourth process awakening anybody's *kundalini* wherever they sit, just by the mere will.
- In the Inner Awakening program, I use all the four methods to awaken your *kundalini*, so that the awakened *kundalini* energy stays eternally and permanently in your being,

*When your kundalini is awakened, you can heal others and yourself. You can enrich your mind and others' mind!*

## Experience Kundalini Awakening

forever! It becomes part of your bio-energy and bio-memory forever!

When an enlightened being awakens your *kundalini*, you will not have any negative side effects. You will only experience all the positive things happening in you.

Now, I will enter into the process of awakening the *kundalini* energy. During the next few days, I will also teach meditations to all the viewers. Today, I am going to demonstrate with people who have already experienced *kundalini* awakening. In a few days, I will teach the process to awaken your kundalini also, to all the viewers.

*Meditation to awaken the kundalini:*

*Now, I request all the people who are sitting all over the world to just sit in upanishad. It means - be unclutched. Visualize that every thought happening in you is just the fish jumping in the ocean of consciousness.*

*Sit straight. Close your eyes. Cognize with integrity, authenticity and responsibility, on the space of unclutching. With integrity, authenticity and responsibility, be unclutched! Feel that every thought happening is just the fish jumping in the ocean of consciousness. Either sit in vajrasana or padmasana. Close your eyes and be in upanishad.*

*Let the power of kundalini be awakened! With integrity, authenticity and responsibility, I declare, let the power of the kundalini - awakened kundalini from this body - awaken the kundalini in all the bodies sitting with us all over the world! Namah Shivaya!*

## *Kundalini meditation*

*Relax! You can open your eyes. Om Shanthi! Shanthi! Shanthihi!*

In the next few days' *satsangs,* I will expand more on *kundalini*, its awakening, methods and process to awaken it and its benefits. I will expand on the details.

I invite all the viewers to participate in our twenty-one day meditation program to experience *kundalini* awakening experientially in you, and for that energy to eternally reside in you.

*Blessings to all of you! Let you all radiate with integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching with eternal bliss - 'THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM'. Thank you*

*When an enlightened being awakens your kundalini, you will not have any negative side effects. You will only experience all the positive things happening in you!*

*Integrity will clear the path. Authenticity will awaken the kundalini energy. Responsibility will send the awakened energy which is in you into the world, so that world will listen to you. With enriching , the world just follows you!*

# **Two Steps To Awaken Kundalini!**

**Monday, 08th April 2013**

Today, I will continue expanding on the unique relationship between the state of responsibility and your reality, and the *kundalini* energy's involvement in this whole.

*Kundalini* is the huge possibility residing in you, like a seed! A Seed! A small banyan tree seed is a huge tree in the form of possibility. In the same way, you are God in the form of possibility! *You are the seed for God, in the form of possibility!*

Just as how the banyan seed is a possibility for banyan tree; you are a possibility for God Himself !

Integrity means aligning your thinking with what you want. Integrity clears the path for *kundalini* to travel. Authenticity awakens it. Every time you raise yourself to the peak of your inner image, outer image and others' image, the *kundalini* is raised. That quantity which is required is raised. For example, you feel tired and you want to sleep in the *satsang* today. But, if you decide and say, 'No! I am going to listen to the *satsang*, internalize and live,' the moment you make that decision, a part of your *kundalini* is awakened! For each decision that you make with authenticity, your *kundalini* is awakened! Each time you coil, shrink and lie down, your *kundalini* falls and reduces!

 'Energy suicide' starts happening in you. Only then does any disease start. Inauthenticity is 'energy suicide'! Listen! Whenever you make a decision based on authenticity, your body and mind is immediately supplied with the *kundalini* energy required, to fulfill your authentic decision. When you take the responsibility, the *kundalini* energy is infused into the world. Then the world starts co-operating with you and listening to you. When you start enriching, the whole universe follows you!

When you start living in integrity, you continuously align your thinking. It means that the path for the *kundalini* energy to travel is getting cleaned and all the blockages are getting removed. If you bring integrity in you, your fantasies will disappear; your fears will disappear; your worries will disappear; the attention-need will disappear; the jealousy will disappear; the ego will disappear and the discontentment will disappear! Just integrity itself will open all the seven chakras for the *kundalini* energy to flow!

Listen!!

- Integrity will clear the path.
- Authenticity will awaken the *kundalini* energy.

- Responsibility will send the awakened energy which is in you into the world, so that the world will listen to you.
- With enriching, the world just follows you! It not only listens to you, it also follows you!

These four *dharmas*, the principles of integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching are the best and most amazing ways to start awakening your *kundalini* energy. It is the most-safe method to start awakening your *kundalini* energy. If you awaken your *kundalini* energy without integrity, you may become powerful but you may not be intelligent. Without authenticity but just with integrity itself, you may be intelligent but you may not be powerful. But with integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching, life is such power!

When you are integrated and authentic, your *kundalini* is awakened very safely. With responsibility, it will be sent into the world to make what you want as reality. And with enriching, whatever you are just becomes a reality!

Whether you want anything in the outer world, you want to make your dreams into reality, or you want to realize that your reality itself is a dream - for all of these, your *kundalini* needs to be awakened.

*Whether you want anything in the outer world, you want to make your dreams into reality, or you want to realize that your reality itself is a dream, your kundalini needs to be awakened!*

dreams into reality, or realize what you see as reality itself is a dream, your *kundalini* needs to be awakened for both purposes.

Sometimes, people ask me, 'Swamiji, for some people who attend your sessions and program, the *kundalini* is awakened on the first day itself ! But for some people, their body does not respond to the *kundalini* even for years. Why is this?'

It is because of this – integrity, authenticity and responsibility! People who decide to immediately enrich themselves and others will have the *kundalini* awakened immediately.

Listen! When your *kundalini* is awakened, when your bio-memory starts responding to the *kundalini* energy, you become the source of the Universe. You can send any thought current into the Cosmos, when your body is levitating through *kundalini* energy. When your body is responding through *kundalini* energy, anything you say will become part of you and will be sent into the space.

*Kundalini* is a very powerful, mystical science, to make man into Divine! Till your *kundalini* is awakened, your spiritual journey has not even started! You can sit and read libraries and libraries worth of books, close your eyes and sit in caves for ages and ages, do any *homa*, ritual or *pooja*, but until your *kundalini* is awakened, your spiritual life has not even started! After your *kundalini* is awakened, even one wrong idea you entertain can be dangerous to you and to others! When your *kundalini* is awakened, your body and mind now have to be highly integrated. Or you can misuse and abuse that power! You can bring dangers to you. It is like lying in the shadow of *kalpavriksha* (wish-fulfilling tree, boon-giving tree). Lying under the *kalpavriksha*, whatever you think will become reality!

In our ashram, we have a *kalpavriksha*, a powerful banyan tree, which has grown on the *samadhi-peeta* (living energy) of two Enlightened Masters! This is the only banyan tree radiating spiritual energy and is a very powerful tree! It showers you with *anything* you ask it!

Many of my devotees are still afraid to go under our banyan tree. Because they feel, 'We should not think or anything wrong under the banyan tree. Anything you think under the banyan tree comes true! It is better to be under the banyan tree for just a few minutes, thinking of the right things, and come away!'

Your *kundalini* is also like the *kalpavriksha*, the *kalpataru* tree. When your *kundalini* is awakened, anything you ask is immediately granted! That is why I don't awaken the *kundalini* of kids. I wait until they become mature. Until they learn to live in integrity, I don't awaken their *kundalini*. I wait, because they should not misuse it or abuse it.

The only thing that human beings need to learn in their life, to achieve *anything* they want, is to learn to 'awaken their *kundalini'*.

When you drop responsibilities, when you drop authenticity, it is 'energy suicide', your *kundalini* shrinks and goes back to sleep! Many times, I awaken the *kundalini* and send people back to their

*People who decide to immediately enrich themselves and others will have the kundalini awakened immediately!*

life. But if they don't take up responsibility and enrich, it again goes back to sleep!

It is so sad - mainstream human beings neither understand the science of *kundalini*, nor work on it. They waste their life without knowing how to raise their consciousness.

Sometime, these fools think that the science of *kundalini* is related to religion. Listen! In Vedic tradition, religion is a way of life! If you move religion out of your life, if you keep religion out of your life, you are dead!

Listen!! Religion is not separable! It is inseparable and is an everymoment-part' of your thinking, your cognition. When you drop authenticity, it is 'energy suicide'!

Yesterday, some of my *sannyasis* informed me - 'Swamiji, when I start speaking, so many words are flowing so beautifully! Even I understand these *tattvas,* these principles, deeply!' I said - 'That is the power of enriching!' When you enrich others, do not think that only 'others' are listening. Even you are listening! You are also enriched!

Every time you bring yourself to integrity, some blockage which blocks your *kundalini* flow is removed. You move further, further and further!

Every time you make decisions based on authenticity - even if it is small decision - like, 'I will not have tea! It is really not necessary now, so I will not have it!' Even these small decisions awaken your *kundalini*. If you decide - 'I will not smoke cigarettes, which is not being authentic with my body. I will not drink alcohol because it is not authentic with my physical and mental health.' If you decide, even this one-small-

authentic-decision awakens your *kundalini*!

Why do people have so much of difficulty with spirituality? Because until your *kundalini* is awakened, you cannot understand anything you read! You cannot understand anything spiritual. But when you make authentic decisions, you raise yourself to the next level of peak possibility. Every authentic decision from your peak possibility raises your *kundalini*!

I tell you - until your *kundalini* is awakened, not only has your spiritual life not started, but even your life has not started!

When you start your spiritual life, the first thing you need to do is bring in integrity and authenticity. Bring responsibility for everything that is happening around you. Whether you know it or not, want it or not, *you* are responsible for whatever is happening around you! You are responsible for whatever is happening around you! When you start feeling responsible, the *kundalini* energy overflows through your body into your actions, life and life outside! When you are enriching, life outside you simply follows you!

When the *kundalini* is awakened with the right Guru, you get healed from any disease that you carry. Your mind is healed from any problem it carries. Outside life - the outer world life moves

*When you enrich others, do not think that only 'others' are listening. You also are listening! And you are also enriched!*

as you want! Whether it is in the line of wealth, relationships, success, excellence or leadership, *anything* you name, you have it!

That is why I insist so much on authenticity and taking more and more responsibility! You do not need a separate time to practice spirituality. All you need is the cognitive shift, to practice spirituality. The ideas based on which you make decisions - only this decides whether you are growing spiritually or not. It is not the number of hours that you sit with closed eyes, or the number of *pranayamas* or *suryanamaskars* you do, or the number of times you do *japa*. It is this cognitive shift in your ideas based on which you make decisions, that decides whether you are growing spiritually or not. God is not waiting for your bank balance report! It is not that for every *japa* you do, it gets put in the bank balance and God says, 'Wow! He has done five lakh *japa*! Now let me appear in front of him!' No! It is just like your greed for money! The number of times you chanted the mantra is just like your greed! I tell you, spirituality does not need a separate time for you to practice it. It just needs the cognitive transformation, the cognitive shift, for you to practice!

*I bless you all, to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with enlightenment! Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss – 'THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM'! Thank you!*

*When your kundalini is awakened, the overflowing experience of life will be tasted by your bio-memory for the first time. For every human being , kundalini awakening is a basic need. Only then does your new life start!*

# **Experience Your Dream Life Through Kundalini Awakening!**

**Friday, 12th April, 2013**

Today, I will expand on how your *kundalini* is awakened in our Inner Awakening program. I will expand how it is established in you permanently, and how it brings health, wealth, good relationships and success in every aspect of your life, and bring you the ultimate, enlightenment itself !

If I equate your body to a mango I will equate the *kundalini* to the seed inside. A mango fruit does not achieve its ultimate, if you just eat the fruit and destroy the seed. The fruit realizes itself only when the seed is able to give more fruits. In the same way, your body has two components, the *kundalini* and your body. Just living with a little money, comfort and ending your life is like eating the mango fruit. But, that will not to lead to realization. The fruit itself realizes its purpose of existence only when the seeds start giving more fruits.

Listen! The mango does not realize itself when if just the fruit is consumed, just the pulp is consumed. Just by somebody eating the mango fruit, the mango does not realize its high potential and its highest possibility. The mango realizes its highest possibility only when its seeds start giving more fruits. Your body realizes its peak only when your *kundalini* is awakened and established in your system.

I tell you, if your *kundalini* is not awakened, you will carry continuous discontentment and lack of fulfillment. You will not even know the reason, but you will go on blaming everything, and carry discontentment.

It is so unfortunate that most of the human beings you envy suffer from this discontentment. Whether they big social leaders or big political leaders or a person with huge wealth or the rich and famous or a celebrity, whoever you envy, they all suffer with this great punishment of discontentment.

Listen, when your *kundalini* is awakened, the first thing you will experience is deep fulfillment and such contentment in every dimension of your life! You will say 'God, it is enough, it is overflowing!' The overflowing experience of life will be tasted by your bio-memory for the first time. Your muscle-memory very rarely tastes the overflowing experience of life. But unfortunately,

*If your kundalini is not awakened, you carry continuous discontentment and lack of fulfillment. When your kundalini is awakened, the first thing you will experience is deep fulfillment!*

it is immediately forgotten and so your bio-memory never experiences this. For every human being, *kundalini* awakening is a basic need. Until then, you will have deep un-fulfillment and discontentment, in some form or the other.

I tell you, somehow find the right master and awaken your *kundalini*, as only then does a new life starts. Only then does your new life start! Only then does even your life start, whether it is at the level of physical health, mental health, the clarity to do what you want to do or the clarity to experience what you want to experience. Many times, even if what you want is in front of you, you don't know what to do, you don't know how to enjoy it and instead get caught with foolish unconscious emotions!

Every individual should somehow experience *kundalini* awakening, and allow the *kundalini* experience to settle down in your muscle-memory and bio-memory. Many times, people ask me, 'Swamiji, why is your meditation program for twenty one days? If it is for just a few days, a lot of people can come; a lot of us can come.' I know that a lot of you will come. But what is the use, if I am not able to do what needs to be done, and you do not get what needs to be gained? Then what is the use even if you come? If I do a two day or three day program, that is more like giving you a glimpse of *kundalini*.

Listen! I will make sure that even your body responds to the *kundalini* awakening! I repeat my commitment once more, with integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching. I give you the word. This is the greatest gift any human being can receive in their life. *kundalini* awakening can be done just by the initiation by the right master, but only if your body is prepared by the proper *yoga* and *kriya*, and mind is prepared by the proper *dhamma* (teachings). Then, cognitive

shift that happens by the awakened *kundalini* will become permanent in your muscle-memory and bio-memory. Only then will it have a permanent impact in your life. Otherwise I have seen. Some people have so much of discontentment in their life, I feel sympathy towards them. Oh God! Poor fellows!

Your body needs to be prepared with the proper *yoga* and *kriya*. Your mind needs to be completely rewired with the new way of thinking, with this four *dharma* or principles as the base, and the cognitive shift has to happen. I tell you, with a cognitive shift, you build a new being for yourself and you radiate so much of goodness. And ultimately, you achieve the most powerful truth.

The energy gushing in your body will give you a new excitement. I tell you, it is not just about creating the health you want or the wealth you want or relationships you want, even the *darshan* of the *ishta devatas* – the Gods that you pray to or meditate on, is simply possible when the *kundalini* is awakened.

I have seen thousands of people directly having the *darshan* of their *devatas*, experiencing the extraordinary restful awareness, the *advaitha anubhoothi*. Realization of non-duality - eternal restful awareness and oneness happens. Please listen! This happens when your *kundalini* is

*kundalini awakening can be done just by the initiation by the right master. Your body should be prepared by proper yoga and kriya, and the mind prepared by the proper dhamma!*

awakened. Whatever you think as auspicious, great, right, best - they simply become a reality .It unfolds inside and outside. You just know that you are living the exact life you always wanted.

And you know how to keep this awakened *kundalini* alive in your body, in your muscle-memory, in your bio-memory. *kriyas* and *yoga* prepares your body; these four *tattvas* prepare your mind; *kundalini* awakening causes the conscious shift, the cognitive shift in your being, which leads to ultimate completion and contentment.

Completion with yourself is contentment. Completion with everyone around you is peace. Completion with the whole cosmos is bliss. You will experience all the three when your *kundalini* is awakened.

Awakening the *kundalini* and making that energy stay in you eternally, is the first step for life. Listen, it is the first step for life! Somehow without the right knowledge, the *kundalini* word has been corrupted and given the wrong meanings. Some call it voodoo, jadoo, cult, giving it that kind of a look. I tell you, *kundalini* awakening is a scientific process. The results can be scientifically verifiable, scientifically validated, it can be validated.

When your *kundalini* is awakened, your level of authenticity goes up. The level of integrity goes up, the level of responsibility goes up. The level of enriching goes up. The way you think about you, the way you think about others, the way you project yourself to others, the way you fulfill what others expect from you – all of these go up to a different plane altogether. You become a new being. When you experience *kundalini,* the internal conflicts you carry disappear. The struggle you are going through internally, 'Should I do this or do that?', 'Should I think this way or that way?", 'Should I look like this or that?', 'Should

I feel like this or that?", 'Should I go for this or that?' - *everything* just disappears!

Life and the very perception and response to it becomes totally different when your *kundalini* is awakened. For the first time in the world, we have proved *kundalini* awakening is possible, with so many medical research, scientific research and medical recordings. The effects of it are scientifically verifiable, including the extraordinary powers happening through *kundalini* awakening - like teleportation and materialization, it is possible.

Patanjali says that the highest *kundalini* awakening experience is '*jagrat sushupthi*', restful awareness, deep restfulness and peak awareness. We proved this through the QEEG research, and other medical and scientific researches. When your *kundalini* is awakened by initiation, when I was awakening people's *kundalini* by initiation, we studied their brains through QEEG. It shows very clearly that they are in the deepest restfulness and peak awareness.

The '*jagrat sushupthi*' and '*nirvikalpa samadhi*' that Patanjali talks about is medically recorded and scientifically proven by this *kundalini* awakening. Only then does *samyama* happen in you, because for any *samyama* to happen; *prathyahara*, *dharana*, *dhyana*, and *samadhi* has to happen. *dharana*, *dhyana* and *samadhi* put together is *samyama*.

*Completion with yourself is contentment. Completion with everyone around you is peace. Completion with the whole cosmos is bliss!*

*For the first time, by the God's grace and the grace of the Guru parampara, we have proved the power of kundalini awakening through medical and scientific research, and medically recording the data and scientifically validated it!*

When the *kundalini* is awakened, people start living the four *tattvas* powerfully. When they start living these four principles powerfully, *kundalini* energy is awakened.

Your body should be prepared with proper *kriyas and yoga* and your mind should be prepared with the proper *tattvas* and principles.

Then, when your *kundalini* is awakened with the proper initiation, the whole awakened energy stays inside your system eternally, as part of your muscle-memory and bio-memory. You become a new being, a '*jeevan mukta*'! You know how to carry the space of '*Nithyanandoham*', the eternal bliss, in you!

Sit listen to the *satsang* with restful awareness every day. When you are sitting in my presence for this one hour, listening authentically for this one-hour itself will awaken your *kundalini* !

The essence of today's *satsang* is this. Somehow experience *kundalini* awakening. That is the first thing you need to do, in your life!

*I bless you all, to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with enlightenment! Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss – 'Nithyananda'! Thank you!*

*Your life is nothing but seeing. If you can see something through the eyes, you can experience it with your physical body. If you can see something through your mind, you can understand it with your mental body. If you can see something with your consciousness, you can control it, as the Lord of it.*

Let us understand about the third-eye.

Please listen! Your life is nothing but seeing. Seeing is your life. If you can see something through the eyes, you can experience it with your physical body. If you can see something through your mind, you can understand it with your mental body. If you can see something with your consciousness, you can control it, as the Lord of it.

Seeing is an important aspect of life. I can say that life starts with seeing. Even blind people continue to see in their inner space. Whether you are blind or have physical eyes, you continue to see through your inner eyes.

Listen! The third-eye is nothing but 'conscious seeing'! The thirdeye is nothing but conscious seeing. The third-eye-awakening awakens the non-mechanical parts of your brain and helps you to

experience extraordinary powers, like telepathy, materialization, teleportation, etc.

The concept of the third-eye is the unique contribution of *Vedic* tradition. If you see all the Hindu gods, you will see them with three eyes. It means that only if your third-eye is awakened, you can become a God, not otherwise! Hindus have worked so much on the third-eye. Even if you are born as a Hindu, the possibility for the opening of your third-eye is already there, because our ancestors have worked on the third-eye for ages. The possibility for opening the third-eye is programmed in our very DNA, because our ancestors have been keeping the *bindi* - processed turmeric on the third-eye, continuously working to awaken it, for ages!

The third-eye is an important power which is stored in every human being. It is a possibility in every human being. We need to awaken it. We need to make it as a reality.

All the extraordinary traditions, mystical traditions and spiritual traditions continuously work on awakening the third-eye. The third-eye awakens the moment you start giving attention to it. The third-eye is awakened, the moment you start giving attention to it!

*Your life is nothing but seeing. If you can see something through the eyes, mind or consciousness, you can experience it. The third-eye is nothing but 'conscious seeing'!*

## Third-Eye Awakening

It is one of the important energy centers in your body. In Sanskrit we have a proverb, 'If you die in Varanasi, you will achieve liberation!' 'VaraNasi,' means the space between your nose and eyebrows. The very word in Sanskrit means 'third-eye If you leave your awareness on the third-eye, if you leave the body while your awareness is on the thirdeye, you will become enlightened. Of course, Varanasi, the city on the banks of the sacred Ganga in Uttar Pradesh (India) also has sanctity. It is a very powerful spiritual centre. But if your third-eye is awakened even while you are alive, you will have so much of benefits.

Please understand, the third-eye can be awakened in so many ways. One of them is right thinking. What is 'right thinking'? Aligning all your thinking based on the cognition of the *tattvas* (integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching) is 'right thinking'. Aligning all your thinking based on the cognition of the four principles is 'right thinking'.

Listen! Listen! The third-eye is not just an eye, it is the very source of your consciousness! If you align your thinking based on the four principles, all your energy will become centered on the third-eye. All your energy will become stable in your third-eye. The functioning of your third-eye will enter into the next frequency.

Please listen! The third-eye is not just your brow centre, it is also the browsing centre! It's like how you can upload or download anything through the Internet world through the Browsing Centre, in the same way through you can download and upload anything from the Cosmos through the third-eye. Any *akashic* record can be downloaded by you when you open your third-eye!

Please listen! All the *akashic* records are done by me because of the third-eye awakening! That is the process through which *akashic* records

are read out. The third-eye is like a door to the Cosmos. You can receive anything. In the same way, you can send any command to the Cosmos through the third-eye. Anything sent through the thirdeye to the Cosmos is immediately - immediately experienced!

Bring integrity in your thinking; your energy will immediately be aligned in your third-eye Bring authenticity in your feeling; the thirdeye energy will immediately be awakened. Bring responsibility into your conscience. Please listen, conscience will become consciousness the moment you bring responsibility to it. Conscience means struggling with do's and don'ts, guilt and desires. Consciousness means the pure flow of life. As long as you do not take the responsibility, you will be struggling with dos and don'ts. Understand, you will be struggling with dos and don'ts!

The moment you take responsibility for all aspects of your life in which you are struggling and feeling powerless, realize it is conscience that is struggling and take responsibility in all those fields. Suddenly, you will see that your conscience becomes consciousness. You don't struggle any more. Life becomes a smooth flow.

When you start enriching yourself and enriching others, your third-eye flows like a wild river. Listen. Whenever you enrich others, the third-eye energy

*If you leave your awareness on the third-eye, if you leave the body while your awareness is on the third-eye, you will become enlightened!*

flows like a wild river. Conscience is dos and don'ts, consciousness is flowing with life.

The third-eye is not just extraordinary power; it is an extraordinary way of life. Don't think that it is like a power, (that) you can possess it and use it for your ulterior motives. No! It is an extraordinary way of life, through which you inspire everyone for the ultimate motive. Ulterior motive is different and ultimate motive is different. When you keep something for yourself, for selfishness, it is for ulterior motive; when you share with the world, it is ultimate motive.

The third-eye is the bridge between the physical world and the psychic and cosmic space. All the extraordinary powers and psychic powers are achieved through the third-eye. All the extraordinary powers are lived when your third-eye is completely awakened.

Work on your third-eye, you will see extraordinary powers immediately. There is nothing much to talk about the third-eye other than giving you the direct technique to awaken it. Awaken it and see. You cannot talk about the power of seeing both the eyes to a man who is born blind. However much you talk, he won't understand. In the same way, I can't talk about the third-eye till your third-eye is opened!

I'll give you the method - technique to awaken the *kundalini*-*shakti*, the third-eye. Only then will you understand the power of the third-eye. The third-eye is a direct bridge to God!

*I bless you all, to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with enlightenment! Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss – 'THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM'! Thank you!*

# The Science of Living Enlightenment - Revealing the four sacred principles that empower YOU!

*Every single moment, the awareness you bring to you either awakens your kundalini or puts your kundalini to sleep. Whenever you allow your inauthenticity, you shrink the kundalini. Every time you become authentic, your kundalini gets awakened!*

# Kundalini Awakening Is Your Decision!

**Tuesday, 16th April, 2013**

I will expand on how these four *tattvas* can be lived continuously, how the *kundalini* awakening in these four principles can be strengthened.

Please listen! Your *kundalini shakti* is not disconnected from your thoughts and actions. Just one thought can trigger your *kundalini* and awaken it, or make it shrink and coil back! Just one lust thought and your body is already ready! Understand, just one lust thought and your body is already ready!

Your thoughts, your actions, your brain and your words - all these are directly connected to the bio-energy. Your bio-energy is directly connected to it. So the moment I utter the word '*kundalini* ,' don't think that it is there somewhere, somebody at some point through some method and some technique on some day may be awaken it. BUT, it may not be awakened now. Now - it has nothing to do with my dayto-day life.' NO!

You are seeing me, because of your *kundalini* energy. You perceive the breeze on your skin, through your skin, because of *kundalini* energy. You are listening to this sound because of *kundalini* energy. You are processing this sound because of *kundalini* energy!

Listen! So, when you alter the way you think, respond or speak now, your *kundalini* can be awakened!

Your *kundalini* energy can be altered. You can awaken your *kundalini* energy before the end of this *satsang*. You can experience *kundalini* awakening, before the end of this *satsang*!

Listen! Even if you sit and listen intensely, your *kundalini* can be awakened now! Even now, if you sit and listen sincerely and intensely, your *kundalini* can be awakened now! Every thought you create, maintain and cognize has a direct effect on your bio-energy. If you cognize and encourage a natural lustful thought, it will have its own effect immediately on the body and the mind. If you cognize and react to a spiritual thought, it will immediately have its own effect on the body and the mind. If you cognize and react to the thought of integrity and authenticity, your bio-energy and your *kundalini* energy will have an immediate effect on it. It will have an impact on it. Please listen!!

*Your kundalini shakti is not disconnected from your thoughts and actions. Just one thought can trigger your kundalini and awaken it, or make it shrink and coil back!*

For example, the constant tiredness and fatigue you carry! Please understand; when you start practicing authenticity, the first wall you face will be tiredness and laziness. You can either make this wall a stopping-stone or a stepping-stone. Tiredness, laziness and boredom these will the first few enemies for your authenticity. When you try to expand your experience about you and others' experience about you, these three - tiredness, boredom and fatigue will be the first things to stop you!

Listen! I will give you one example. In the office, you can leave your office by 5 o'clock in the evening, if you are not authentic. But if you want to practice authenticity, you may have to do a little more work to make everything authentic. It may take one more hour to complete your work. When you decide to be authentic, what is the first thing that is going to stop you? Boredom! You will think, 'I can't sit in office after 5 o'clock! It is too much! I am too tired! I am bored of these same sick fellows! I am bored, tired! I feel lazy!'

Listen! If you decide even once - 'No! I am going to be authentic! I will break this laziness - tiredness - boredom pattern,' then your *kundalini* opens up. For even one decision that you make in the line of authenticity, your *kundalini* opens up, your *kundalini* is awakened!

The moment I utter the word '*kundalini* , all of you think, 'We have to do something very secretly, sitting inside some dark cave, and use some *mantra* or meditation, some practice and you have to go to a remote place in the Himalayas to some Guru, and you learn some *mantra* which he will whisper in your ears, which you may understand only half of it and may not understand the other half, and you may have to collect different skulls and herbs, and sit on that and start chanting during *amavasya* (new moon day) midnight and only then will your *kundalini* be awakened!!

No! No! Your *kundalini* can be awakened through your office, through your office work!

For every single decision that you make based on authenticity, your *kundalini* IS awakened! For every single decision you take based on authenticity, to break your laziness, tiredness and boredom, your *kundalini* is awakened! See! The moment you decide to break the pattern and make the decision to do so, see in your muscle-memory and bio-memory, so much of energy will be flooded into it! You will feel a certain joy. You will feel, 'Yes, I am going to do it!'

That joy is '*ananda*' of *sat-chit-ananda*! That energy is '*chit'* of *sat-chit-ananda*! That courage is '*sat'* of *sat-chit-ananda*! Understand, *sat-chit-ananda* is not something you will experience somewhere, when you are almost about to die, or after death! No! *sat-chit-ananda* can be experienced in your everyday decisions! To make *sat-chit-ananda* as '*nithyaananda'* – eternal bliss, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has happened!!

Listen! This is the basic truth that you need to understand. Unless you start awakening your *kundalini* NOW, everyday, in your day-to-day life, the possibility does not exist! The possibility does not exist! Either it is NOW or NEVER! Because when you start believing that it will happen after some time, and after some time, and after some time, that belief itself becomes like lacquer coating

*Unless you start awakening your kundalini NOW, everyday, in your day-to-day life, the possibility does not exist! Either it is Now or Never!*

on you. You will never be able to touch the 'present' time, experience the moment 'now' or experience the zone 'now'!

Please listen! For a person who is thinking about the future, his eyes will not be seeing the present, even if his eyes are open! There will not be a connection between him and his eyes. How many of you cognize what I am saying? In the same way, in exactly the same way, if you start believing that *kundalini* awakening can happen only after some time, that belief itself will become an obstruction between you and the *kundalini* awakening! That is one of the worst dangers! You need to break that negative belief, with integrity, with the right commitments.

If you have committed with you, again and again - '*kundalini* will not awaken for me! It may happen only after twenty or thirty years of practice! It is not for me! Maybe it is for all *sannyasis*, seekers and evolved souls, but not for me! It will take years to do this - this - this - this…' If you have all these beliefs, that itself becomes a negative commitment that you have given yourself. And because of this very negative commitment, it really does not happen in you!

When I was young, I used to have this strong feeling that these miracles and powers will come to me only if I meditate, without moving from a place, for twelve long years! No, I had this strong belief ! I believed this, 'I have to sit for twelve years without moving! And my hair has to grow and enter the ground like a banyan tree root! Even then, I can't get up even if when I want to get up, because my hair has entered the ground like a root! Only then will I have *siddhis* (miracle powers)!'

This commitment had become a negative commitment to me! I delayed achieving the *ashtamahasiddhis*. It was already there, right from my birth. But I delayed expressing the *ashtamahasiddhis* because of my own

negative commitments.

You also see this in your life. You may be giving a lot of negative commitments to you. To be a leader, a *siddha*, a *mahapurusha*, a *jnani,* you may be giving a lot of negative commitments to you! You might have given a lot of negative commitments to you. 'How can I have *vak-siddhi*? Swamiji can have it, but how can I have it? I will have it, but may be after twenty years, or when I am old, or maybe in the next *janma* (lifetime)!'

Even these thoughts become negative commitments to you! How many of you are getting it? How many of you feel, 'Oh, God! I have so many negative commitments given to me!' Raise your hand!

(People raise their hands.)

Sit and complete with all of that. You have to restore your integrity and complete with all these negative commitments. Only then will *kundalini* awakening start happening now. And it is possible, NOW! You have to awaken, NOW! You CAN awaken NOW!

Every action of yours can awaken your *kundalini*. Every action of yours can become a part of *kundalini*. Please listen! Understand completely! Even now, your decision to sit straight and listen with authenticity can awaken your *kundalini* ! Or

*Every action of yours can awaken your kundalini. Even now, your decision to sit straight and listen with authenticity can awaken your kundalini !*

your decision to just fall asleep can shrink your *kundalini*!

Listen! Listen! Every time you bring an authentic decision, your *kundalini* IS awakened. Every time your *kundalini* is awakened, you are raising yourself to the next level of authenticity. You can see this in your everyday life. You can see this every day in your office, in your relationships. If your spouse is shouting at you, if your wife or husband is screaming, shouting at you, screaming at you, you decide - 'I will raise my authenticity level! Now I will not shout back or react! I will respond with integrity and responsibility!' Even this one decision awakens your *kundalini*! It awakens your *kundalini*!

Every single moment, the awareness you bring to you either awakens your *kundalini* or puts your *kundalini* to sleep. When you wake up early in the morning, the awareness you have either awakens your *kundalini* or puts it to sleep! When you listen, the awareness you bring to your ears can awaken your *kundalini* or put your *kundalini* to sleep. When you read, the awareness you bring to your reading - your eyes - it can either awaken your *kundalini* or put it to sleep. When you think, the integrity you bring to your thinking can awaken your *kundalini* or put your *kundalini* to sleep!

It is unfortunate that sometimes, you give up on you. You say, 'No! I cannot raise myself to the next level!' When you give up on you, you are dead! Dead! Giving up on you is the worst thing that can happen to you, especially due to the laziness pattern! When you decide to give up on you, you are '*patita'*, the fallen one, the dead one. If you live these principles, even if you leave the body, you continue to radiate and inspire millions. You continue to exist! If not, even while you are alive, you are dead!

Listen! Whether you practice authenticity or integrity, the moment you start practicing, the moment you start practicing itself your *kundalini* is awakened! Your *kundalini* is awakened! Listen! The moment you start practicing, your *kundalini* is awakened! It is so unfortunate, it is so unfortunate that you have the wrong beliefs about *kundalini* awakening. You should complete with all of that. Start awakening your *kundalini* NOW!

Whenever you allow your inauthenticity, you shrink the *kundalini*. Every time you become authentic, your *kundalini* gets awakened. Every time you become authentic, your *kundalini* gets awakened!

Thousands of people come and ask me, 'Swamiji, I was suffering for years with this disease, that pain. But the moment you put your hand on my head, it disappeared! How is that so? How can it be?' Just a few days ago, one of my *ashramite* was suffering with whole body pain. All I did was just send this kerchief (to bless). In ten minutes, he became alright! People ask me, 'How, how it is possible?'

Listen! When you practice integrity and authenticity, your *kundalini* energy is so alive and awakened, that it radiates and fills anything you touch!

*Every single moment, the awareness you bring to you either awakens your kundalini or puts your kundalini to sleep!*

You should know that your life is your life. You are the owner, you are responsible! You are the experience! You are everything! You are the organizer, you are the conductor, you are the owner; you are *everything* for your life! Take the responsibility for your life and bring authenticity to your life. That is the essence of my *satsang* today!

*I bless you all, to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with enlightenment! Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss – 'THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM'! Thank you!*

*Life happens to you with others. If you don't enrich others, it is stealing and life does not happen to you. I tell you, decide to enrich everyone you see with these tattvas; in just a few months you will see that you are surrounded by gods and you are living in heaven. Go on enriching people with these tattvas.*

# Life Is For Enriching Consciousness

**Friday, 01st March 2013**

I welcome all of you with my love and blessings. Let us enter into today's *satsang.* I was expanding on the four *tattvas* of integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching others. Today, I'll move to the *tattva of* enriching.

*Enriching is you taking responsibility with integrity and authenticity, that you are continuously committed to enriching, which is expanding yourself and life, in and around you.*

I am defining enriching - listen! Enriching is you taking responsibility with integrity and authenticity, that you are committed to continuously enriching, which is expanding yourself and life, in and around you. Listen! Enriching means constantly enriching you and others! Listen! Enriching is infusing all these three *tattvas* continuously in your life and others' lives.

Even in the *vedas,* the first three *vedas* are only the *tattvas*. The fourth *veda* is about making those three *tattvas* into life. It is the same way with these four *tattvas* also; the first three are the *tattvas* itself and the fourth one is about making the other three *tattvas* as life.

Listen! Not just listening, but *real* listening. Not just listening. I don't even want to use the words, 'just listen'. Not just hearing but listening!

Enriching is you taking responsibility with integrity and authenticity, that you are committed to continuously enriching, which is expanding yourself and life, in and around you. You always ask, 'Why should we enrich others?' You conveniently forget that life happens to you with others. The ego forgets, the *ahankara* forgets, that all its joy comes only when it stretches itself to *anyakara*, not when it fights with *ahankara.*

The *ahankara* thinks that by fighting with *ahankara* it can extract joy. No! Only by stretching to others' *anyakara* can it experience joy. It is very unfortunate; the *ahankara* thinks that just by fighting with *ahankara,* it can experience fulfillment. I tell you, that is the way *ahankara* survives! In these three *mamakara, ahankara*, *anyakara,* the leader, the gangleader is *ahankara.* The other two fellows are both *chota,* small, frightened fellows. By the strength of the leader, these fellows also act like rowdies,

*Enriching means constantly enriching you and others! Enriching is infusing all these three tattvas continuously in your life, and others' lives!*

but they themselves do not know anything. The *ahankara* is the most cunning strategy planner. Unfortunately, he is caught in the net that he himself created!

We very conveniently forget an important fact, and take life happening for us with others for granted. We think, 'My brother has to behave like a brother, father has to behave like a father, friend has to behave like a friend, son has to behave like a son, student has to behave like a student, teacher has to behave like a teacher,' without taking the responsibility that we ourselves should also fulfill our role!

Why should the teacher behave as a teacher, if the student is not taking the responsibility of enriching the teacher? Listen! When you don't enrich the teacher as a student, even what you receive from the teacher will not be useful for you! It will not be useful for you! *Anything you receive without enriching, is stolen*!

The Bhagavad Gita beautifully says – 'If you don't do *yagna* and give back to the divine energy, you are a thief !' Listen! Bhagavan Krishna does not mean upi just pouring some offerings into a fire; he also means doing the proper action. For example, if you are cutting a tree, you have to plant at least five trees. If you are taking water from the river, you should make sure that the recycled water is purified and added to the river. Constantly enriching the source and keeping it alive for the next generation is *yagna*. Do not touch anything which you can't replace, like sources which can be exhausted but not replenished. Do not use nonrenewable energy sources. Use only renewable energy sources. That is part of enriching, *yagna.*

Bhagavad Gita is very clear. Krishna is very clear. Listen! If you are not enriching, but only taking and enjoying, you are a thief. *Asteya* (non-stealing), one of the important vows of *sannyas*, can be maintained only by enriching. Only when you continuously enrich others will non-stealing be maintained. Listen. Enriching is where life happens to you. I can say that enriching means infusing all the three *tattvas* into *satyas*.

I have a quotation here from Bhagavad Gita, third chapter, twelfth verse:

Istan bhogān hi vo devā dāsyante yajñabhāvitāḥ
tair dattān apradāyaibhyo yo bhuṅkte stena eva saḥ

Translation: Satisfied with selfless service, the celestial beings certainly award you the desired necessities of life. He who enjoys things without offering them to the celestial beings is certainly a thief !

Listen! Life happens to us with others. I tell you, how many of you listen with integrity and authenticity? I ask all my *sannyasis,* 'How many of you think that even if you are alone in the forest, you will be able to maintain the standard of your *sannyas l*ife without the help of other *sannyasis* or the *sangha* of *sadhus*?' No! I tell you, try, try and try. I have seen hundreds of *sadhus*. As the spiritual head of the one of the oldest *sannyas sampradaya*

*Listen! Life happens to us with others!*

# Life Is For Enriching Consciousness

and member of the apex body of Hinduism, I tell you, for a common seeker, it is impossible!

I have seen these young seekers guided by the wrong idea that they can do it on their own. They go and sit in some hut, in some corner, forest or hill. They come down to the nearby village just for food. And in two years, they end up marrying some old widow! *Arrey*, when you don't see anybody, you will just fall for anybody you see! You will fall for anybody you see!

Whether it is *sannyas* or *samsar,* the joys of spirituality or the joys of the world, the joys of authenticity or the joys of inauthenticity, everything happens with company, with *sangha!* Understand, whether it is *satsanga* or *dussanga*, you need a *sangha*. Life happens to you in *sangha.* If life can happen to you without *sangha,* why will you be here? It cannot happen, it cannot. Being one of the spiritual heads of the *naga-sampradaaya*, I tell you, even to become a *naga-sadhu,* initially, until you are established, a *sangha* is required.

Life happens to you with others. Whether it's basic food or the ultimate luxury, everything happens to you with others. If you don't enrich others, it is stealing and life does not happen to you. I tell you, decide to enrich everyone you see with these *tattvas;* in just a few months you will see that you are surrounded by gods and you are living in heaven. Go on enriching people with these *tattvas.*

Even if you are in the remote forest, only with the river Ganga and the hills, your life happens. Even if you are a *naga-sadhu* in the forest, life happens to you with *Ganga* and the hills, the rivers and forest. Listen! With whoever or whatever life happens to you, you start enriching it. You start protecting it. That is why Hindus are so, so devoted to *Ganga,* *Yamuna* and Himalayas, because life happens to them with that. That is why they are so sincere in keeping them alive and enriching them.

- If life happens to you with a river and you enrich it, you are called *teertha.*
- If life happens to you with a hill and you enrich it, you are called *giri.*
- If life happens to you with people and you enrich them, you are called *puri.*
- If life happens to you with forest and you enrich it, you are called *aranya.*
- If life happens to you with kings and you enrich them, you are *Indra*.
- If life happens to you with the pandits, the educators, and you enrich them, you are called *Saraswati.*

That is the way Shankara created ten *sampraadayas* of *nagas - Giri, Puri, Teertha, Aranya, Indra, Saraswati.* Enriching life is Life! What you enrich, enriches you. What you enrich, enriches you!

Listen! Enriching is the way in which you relate with the expressed component of God, the expressed part of God. Listen! Integrity and authenticity are

*Whether it is sannyas or samsar, the joys of spirituality or the joys of the world, the joys of authenticity or the joys of inauthenticity, everything happens with company, with sangha!*

# Life Is For Enriching Consciousness

the ways in which you relate with the unexpressed, '*avyakta'* part of God. Responsibility and enriching are the ways in which you relate with '*vyakta*, the expressed part of God. Listen! Integrity and authenticity are the right ways to relate with the unexpressed part of God. Responsibility and enriching are the right ways to relate with the expressed part of God, the world. Enriching, enriching, enriching! If you do not enrich, you actively create a selfish pattern. Be very clear, either you give or you swindle. There is no middle. How many of you cognize this?

When you chant the *swasti-mantra* in the morning, it is a very powerful way of enriching the world, through our integrity and authenticity. You take the responsibility for those words, and for making the *swastimantras* into reality. Listen! When you chant those words in the morning with integrity and authenticity and bless the world, you are sending those vibrations to the world. When you take responsibility for the words you utter and start working, you enrich the world mystically and physically, metaphysically and physically.

Let us understand what is being chanted…

*Go-braahmanebhyah shubhamastu nityam*

You should take the responsibility of protecting the cows, and the people who practice these four *tattvas.*

*Kaale varshatu parjanyaha prithivee sasyashaalinee*

It means that we should make sure that the trees are not cut, and rain is showered properly, three times a month.

*Raaja dharmapatihi prajaah sucharitaaha*

It means that you should make sure that the king rules righteously. It is our responsibility now. We will all take the responsibility for the rulers to rule the world and all the countries righteously, by constantly educating them and teaching them in all possible ways. We are responsible!

Chanting is the first level of metaphysical support that we give to the world, enriching metaphysically. Start taking responsibility for it, so that we enrich physically also. So when you chant every day, remind yourself that now you have to make sure that the king rules righteously! Understand, guiding the rulers is our mission. The saint *Jnanasambandar* himself guided the *Pandya* king. So it is our right and it is our responsibility. It is our responsibility that enlightened beings and saints are protected. I think we will have to structure our whole *sangha* based on the *swasti-mantra*. That is our mission statement. Understand? The *swasti-mantra* we chant every day is our mission statement.

*Go-braahmanebhyah shubhamastu nityam*

We should plan that every ashram has a *goshaala, that p*eople take the responsibility of protecting cows, and that every state of India passes a law protecting cows (anti-cow-slaughter bill). We should constantly promote the truth of protecting

*Chanting mantras is the first level of metaphysical support that we give to the world, enriching metaphysically!*

# Life Is For Enriching Consciousness

the cows all over the world. *A brahmana* is a person who practices these *chaturvedas.* Whoever practices the *chaturvedas* must be protected!

It is time we take the responsibility for enriching all the words we utter in the morning, through *swasti-mantra*. We are responsible for the king ruling, the rulers ruling the country righteously and citizens living the life righteously. We are responsible for everything. We are responsible! We'll take the responsibility by constantly teaching these four *tattvas* to everyone. Understand? Taking responsibility and enriching make life happen to you!

With integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching, I declare today - you all make me an incarnation. It is not just me, by myself. By myself, with my integrity and authenticity, I can only become an enlightened being. Only by taking responsibility and enriching all of you, do I become an incarnation. How many of you cognize this? So, I happen because of you! My integrity and authenticity only makes me an enlightened being. Only my commitment to taking responsibility and enriching all of you makes me an incarnation!

Listen. Go on, go on, go on enriching! Go on enriching with these *tattvas*. 'En-reaching' is enriching. Enriching is 'en-reaching'!

*Integrity is the root, authenticity is the tree, responsibility is the fruit and enriching is sharing the fruit, which creates more fruit.*

I can also say that enriching is enjoying the fruit and sowing the seed for having more fruit. In enriching, you also enrich yourself. So enriching is enjoying the fruit and sowing the seed for more fruits to happen. Go on enriching. I tell you, extraordinary powers will support you.

Listen! When you start enriching, life happens. I tell you, even in profession, in business, *everywhere*, when you look beyond what you get, creativity happens in you! Listen! When Steve Jobs starts looking beyond money, he creates better and better products. When Bill Gates looks beyond the gates of bill, he creates better and better and better enriching products! Gates of bill will never make you do anything, either in the micro-level or the macro-level. I tell you, in every field, only when you look beyond what you get, great things are born. Great things are born!

All my *sannyasis* and *ashramites*, understand. If you are not able to do great things, be very clear, you have still not started looking beyond what you are going to get. Maybe what you want is just my attention, but even that is a salary. You are stuck. Only if you look beyond that and decide that you will enrich just because you want to enrich, great things will be born out of you.

*Jnana-garbha* (womb of wisdom) happens in the womb of one who is looking beyond the possible return. If the mother's womb is constantly thinking about what it will gain by giving birth to a son or a daughter, it will never conceive, produce and give birth. When the womb looks beyond what it is going to get, it gives birth. When your inner space looks beyond what is going to be returned to you or what you think as the benefit, great things are

*Integrity is the root, authenticity is the tree, responsibility is the fruit and enriching is sharing the fruit, which creates more fruit!*

# Life Is For Enriching Consciousness

contributed. Great creativity is achieved. Impossible becomes possible. Same way, when a master looks beyond what a disciple is going to contribute to him, He makes the disciple a master. When I look beyond what you are going to contribute back to me, I make you a master. Listen! In every field, when you look beyond the possible fruit of that field, great things are born!

Whatever you see as being useful in planet Earth, is from enriching consciousness. Listen! If Edison has invented the bulb, it is from enriching consciousness. If somebody else has developed it to the next level, that is from his enriching consciousness. It is never from the mind which thinks of a salary. And listen, the mind which thinks of returns is a worker, *vaishya*. From the consciousness of *vaishya*, nothing, nothing new or creative can come out. They only know how to make a number of moulds. They can make ten thousand bulbs, but they cannot do even a small change. Even the small change happens only from enriching consciousness. The same apple has fallen ten thousand times from ten thousand trees in front of ten thousand people. Why then did only Newton get the idea of the theory of gravity? When you are in enriching consciousness, even a small happening gives birth to creativity, and you enrich the world.

Of course, I also wanted all of you to know that the theory of gravity has not been uttered for the first time by Newton. It was uttered long before, and recorded in *vedic* tradition. It is recorded in modern history as defined by Newton, that's all. I read somewhere that in modern history, three apples changed the world: the apple of Adam, the apple of Newton and the apple of Steve Jobs! Understand, one represents religion, another represents science and the third represents technological revolution.

You can create anything only when you see it and experience it from the state of enriching consciousness. You can create anything only when you see everything from an enriching consciousness state. Everything, everything, everything - from the seat you're sitting on, the laptop you are using, the energy beads you are wearing, the house you are living in, to the food you are eating, anything creative comes only of enriching consciousness. Only if there is a passage in the earth, the underground water can come out, the river *Saraswati* can come out. In the same way, only if there is an enriching consciousness in you, in your inner space, creativity can come out.

Being in the state of enriching means doing actions in the enriching state, without postponing! Enriching means doing it NOW, not postponing! So I tell you, today, list all the enriching thoughts that you are postponing without making them as actions, and start acting on them. Don't postpone even this act.

This morning, I was speaking to one of my ashramites who was having mood swings. I asked him, 'Do you want to leave?' He said he doesn't want to leave, but he cannot commit to that! He said, 'I am not going to commit now. I will become clear and then follow. ' I told him that he will never become clear. Either you commit now or never, because whenever you utter a statement like that,

*You can create anything only when you see it and experience it from the state of enriching consciousness. Anything creative only comes from the state of enriching consciousness!*

'When I become clear, I will declare,' then that 'will, will, will, will…' will be there to make you postpone that commitment. Do you think that you will be able to break that 'will'? The parasites of your inner consciousness are 'if', 'but', 'will' and 'may'! Understand?

I tell you guys, postponing means not living, not beginning life. It is literally death! Your body may be breathing, but don't think that you are alive. When I see a person, I can tell very clearly, how many years he has lived. All the moments you did not postpone, you were living. All the moments you were postponing, you were breathing, but you were not alive!

And the moments when you are breathing, but not alive, form the source for sickness. Disease grows in a space where you breathe but don't live. That is why I said, when you take responsibility, you destroy the roots where disease can grow. The best medicine for your heart to function forever, beautifully and smoothly, is enriching. Postponing means that you are not alive, postponing is death!

I tell you, not taking responsibility even for the acts you committed is poverty. Taking responsibility only for the things that you are involved in is a middle-class mind, a mediocre mind. Taking responsibility for things even though you are not the reason for them is the consciousness of a leader. Whenever there is a problem, you are too busy justifying that you are not the reason for it. Listen, even if you justify to everyone around you that you are not the reason for it, the sufferings for that problem are not going to leave you until you take the responsibility for it!

As a child, if something has fallen from the table and broken, you try to justify to your parents, 'I did not do it. I did not do it. I did not do it.' Unfortunately, even after growing up, you are doing the same thing, 'I did not do it. I am not responsible. I am not responsible.' You don't understand that whether you are responsible or not, the pot is broken!

From tomorrow, you will not be able to drink tea from that cup or pot. You are affected. Take the responsibility, so that you will bring it back. You will buy one more or repair this. If you are too busy in crying, 'I did not do it. I did not do it,' are you going to think about repairing or buying one more? Are you going to sort this issue out?

I have a story for you.

*In a village, there were two naughty brothers whom nobody is able to control. The whole village experiences their presence so heavily! All of them decide that they won't be able to handle the hell anymore. They go and complain to the parents. The parents go to the village pastor. The Pastor takes the responsibility and says, 'I will try. Don't worry.'*

*He calls the younger child and slowly starts talking to him.*

*'Do you know where is God?'*

*The child starts screaming and runs away as fast as he can to his elder brother. He says, 'Hey, we are both really in trouble!'*

*The elder one asks, 'Why?'*

*Taking responsibility for things even though you are not the reason for them is the consciousness of a leader!*

*'We used to steal money, toys and clothes from every house. Now, the whole village suspects that if anything or anybody is missing, we are responsible. Just now the Pastor is asking me, "Where is God?" Did you hide him anywhere without telling me?'*

Listen, we are in the same space as both the children. First we are out to say, 'I am not, I am not, I am not, I am not'. The space which first tries to disown is the space in which the spontaneous lying pattern is rooted. How many of you cognize what I am saying? Listen! You may not be the reason for something, but when it affects your life, you have to take responsibility for it.

Living in the same space without taking responsibility, even if it affects your life, just because you are not the reason, is equivalent to living in a pigpen. With authenticity and integrity, raise your hand, how many of you are living in a pigpen? True. Because you are not the reason for the stones lying there, because you are not reason for the beautiful garden not happening, you are not ready to take the responsibility of having a beautiful ambience. Taking responsibility for something even though you are not the reason for it is the consciousness of a leader.

I tell you, enriching makes you live these *tattvas* without forgetting. Enriching others makes you realize these *satyas,* without getting buried in unconsciousness. Go on, go on, go on enriching yourself and others. I tell you, only in the actions of enriching yourself and others, these *tattvas* become the life of you, and get life from you, and become *satyas* in you. Enriching others ensures that you are not drowning in an unconscious state. I tell you, if you are in the space of enriching yourself and others, you continuously perform miracles. When you don't live these principles, the mind is occupied with suicidal tendencies, maybe slow suicidal tendencies, that's all. Bring responsibility and enriching

in your inner space and consciousness! Go on enriching others. Do not allow laziness to bury you before you are dead! Allow authenticity to grow on you even if you are buried.

If you are in the state of enriching others continuously, you will be able to create miracles! It is constantly bringing that state in you, that space in you, that strength in you – 'Thanks to these four life-saving *tattvas*! I am enriched by it, and I am going to enrich it!'

I name all the ashram gates on the basis of these four *tattvas*. The East entrance will be called as 'Integrity' entrance; the south entrance will be called as 'Authenticity' entrance; the west entrance will be called as 'Responsibility' entrance; and the north entrance will be called as 'Enriching' entrance.

The *ashram* is an extension of the *dharma* that we are living, the *Buddha* who is the embodiment of it and the *sangha* which is radiating with it. These four *tattvas* are our *dharma*. Constantly bring the state of these four *tattvas* in you. Constantly bring these four *tattvas* in you, again and again.

All the *ashram* heads should now plan for having a *goshaala for cows, n*ot only in India, but all over the world. And you should make sure you are also contributing to the rulers ruling righteously, by

*If you are in the state of continuously enriching others, you will be able to create miracles!*

voicing right opinions and reminding them about the *dharma*. Enriching is such a favorite subject! I have gone on and on, I think for almost two hours! And I have still not yet completed. I will continue tomorrow also.

*I bless you all, to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss – 'THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM'! Thank you!*

*Others' expectation about us is not out of enmity; it is not forced, it is not a suffering or a torture! When you suppress your out expectations about you in your own body and are not ready to listen, it comes out in another body, as their anyakra for you. It is your own expectation giving you another more chance!*

# **Fulfilling Others Makes You Powerf***ul!*

**Wednesday, 13th March 2013**

Yesterday, we had a *sangha* meeting, where I spoke about one important *sannyas vrata* to my *sannyasis.* I wanted to share that in the *satsang* also.

For all my *swamis* and *swaminis,* I am redefining '*aparigraha'* - responsibly possessing. Ok? It is not even possessing; the word is 'responsibly owning', responsibly owning and responsibly using. Not having anything is not the purpose of life! Have the things required to enrich people with these four *tattvas.* Ok? You can have whatever you want, if it is directly required to enrich people, only to enrich people; but it should be the minimum required. For example, you can enrich people by going in a car, and by going in an helicopter. Then, you should only be having a car. It is not that you can buy a helicopter and justify the reason that anything is ok for enriching! So, each one of you guys decide – 'responsibly owning'. But be aligned to this one *satya* – living and radiating these four *tattvas*. Live and radiate these four *tattvas.* See, when you have that tuning, you actually don't own anything; *satya*

owns everything. Now, you yourself are owned by the *satya*. Then how can you own something else? No!

And *swamis* and *swaminis* also have one more commitment. It's not just a commitment; it is a lifestyle. If anything belongs to you and anybody asks for it, it is theirs. You should continue to radiate that.

Today, I will expand on '*shraddha'*, authenticity. The word *shraddha* happens in *Katopanishad*. The earliest record available to us of the word *shraddha* happening is in *Katopanishad,* where *Nachiketa* was described as *shraddha vivecha -* owned by *shraddha.* Please listen, with *shraddha*, you should not own it, *shraddha* should own you. With integrity, you will own it, you are the owner. With *shraddha,* it should own you.

I will describe *shraddha* - authenticity. Authenticity is the state where you are established in the peak of your capability and respond to life from who you perceive yourself to be for yourself, who you project yourself to be for others and what others expect you to be for them. Listen, now what I gave is a definition. Let me expand on it. What you feel as you, what you show yourself to others as you, and what others perceive you as you - all these three put together is your personality, it is your being.

*Please listen, with shraddha - authenticity, you should not own it, shraddha should own you!*

Your being has these three components - what you show to yourself (what you believe as you), what you show as yourself as to others, and what others expect you to be. Living in your peak capability in all these three is *shraddha*. Please understand; I will expand now. The three components of your being - the identity you believe as you, the identity you project as you to others, and others' expectation about you - living in the peak capacity in all these three is *shraddha.*

*First, you* should be in your peak of what you believe as you, raising it, raising it, raising it and raising it. Second, whatever you project as you to others, take that also to its peak, raising it, raising it and raising it. Third, stretch yourself, stretch yourself and stretch yourself to the peak of fulfilling others' expectations about you.

One important problem we have is this, 'Swamiji, I am responsible for what I feel as me, and what I project as me to others. But why should I take the responsibility for others' expectation about me?' Please understand; it is you yourself who is sitting in the inner consciousness of everyone who has some expectation towards you, and making them expect these things from you! Some of your words and body language is responsible for them to have that expectation from you. So you are responsible for it!

Living to your peak responsibility is *shraddha.* I wanted all of you to understand an important truth. Some part of you which is suppressed by you, which wants to realize itself, goes and sits in another's heart and becomes their expectation about you, so that the suppressed part is realized! Listen. When you are not ready to listen to your own heart and expand, the divine helps you by creating the same expectation in others, so that you can expand!

I have seen this in my own life, from my own experience. I tell you - when I decided to fulfill others' expectations about me, when I started stretching myself, I realized that this is also what is my own expectation about me. When you fulfill others' expectations about you, and realize that this is also is your expectation about you, you reach the space of self-realization.
