## Food, Love, Energy - Three Kinds Of Bondage

When you have become integrated, but not yet become authentic, that is the zone where you will have powers. There is a possibility you can become inauthentic. Only when you take responsibility for the powers that came out of integrity, do you become authentic. Only when the danger of inauthenticity leaves you, are you safe. When you start enriching others with all the powers you have without allowing the inauthenticity of self-pride or self-importance, you cross the danger of inauthenticity. Until then, you still carry the danger of inauthenticity.

When you are incomplete, the job you do will also be incomplete. Listen. Go on infusing integrity into every emotion, feeling, thinking and experience you have in your life. Go on, go on and go on bringing integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching.

I tell you, any of our centers, temples or ashrams which take up the higher-level projects to grow spiritually and become successful. Whenever a center, temple, ashram or a group takes up big projects, they become so authentic, responsible and integrated and enriching; they become successful in all three, their personal life, professional life and *sangha* life. Go on infusing integrity into every emotion, feeling, thinking, experience you have in your life.

When you all gather as a *sangha* and do the *sangha* work, so much of energy happens in you, because others are happening in your life, and that energy will make you do the *sangha* work and your housework, both together. You will be successful in profession and in *sangha*, both together. When you know how to deliver, inspire and make others as part of you and become part of others; you are creating a success formula wherever you stand and breathe. Your family and your extended family, your job and your part-time job, you will be successful everywhere.

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

I tell you, whoever takes the lead role in the *sangha*, you will see that he will also be a leader in his life. When you sit together as a *sangha*, take up a common project to enrich yourself and others, how you behave to that project is exactly the way you behave with life, and that is the way life is going to behave with you. Whenever you are in *upayanam* and take up more and more responsibility, you are in a state of expansion. I am constantly expanding, because I take more and more responsibility.

If you want to be successful in your life or in your business or profession, or in your relationship, or in your spirituality, your fulfillment, gather as a *sangha* keeping these four *tattvas* as the center; take up some huge responsibilities, projects that expand you and enrich others. How you behave with the *sangha* is exactly the same way you behave with life and life behaves with you. Just listening to these four *tattvas* is not enough; start living them by taking up higher responsibilities. Only then you pull the *tattvas* into your life, and the *tattvas* pull you into their life. You are pulling the *tattvas* into your life and *tattvas* are pulling you into their life. That is the only way any growth is possible.

Inner Awakening is nothing more than a vacation for you, if you are not taking up any responsibility. Only when you take up any responsibility, will Inner Awakening be a real awakening for you. Otherwise it is a good vacation - not bad, but a

*Only when you take responsibility for the powers that came out of integrity, do you become authentic.*

good vacation, spiritual vacation. Find out whether Inner Awakening was a spiritual vacation for you or a spiritual beginning for you. Is it a spiritual life or a spiritual vacation - find out what you got out of Inner Awakening.

Continuously express the four truths in your life; only then will you have the possibility of any kind of growth in your life. Only when you continuously express the four truths in your life, will you have the possibility of any kind of growth in your life. Take up the responsibility as a *sangha*. If you can inspire a volunteer team and make them deliver something, I tell you, I am a hundred percent sure you can inspire anybody and be successful in leading a team, whether in your company or in your home. Home is also nothing but a team. You need integrity, authenticity, responsibility. If you complete all these three Ts integrity, authenticity and responsibility, then it becomes a team. You become team. In Tamil, 'M' is the completion of any statement. Team is completion of all these three Ts.

Whenever you use your energy for the expansion of others, only then will you yourself be able to walk on the path of expansion. Only then will your own energy will be accessible to you, you yourself get to access your energy. Only then will your energy is awakened. Only then is it possible that your energy is awakened!

Constantly give life to this four *dharmas* of AIRE! I tell you, *dharmo rakshathi rakshitaha*! When you protect *dharma*, it protects you. When you excite *dharma*, it excites you. When you enrich *dharma*, it enriches you. When you are integrated to it, it is integrated into you. When you are authentic with it, it is authentic with you. When you take responsibility for it, it takes responsibility for you. Only when you enrich it, will it enrich you. *dharma* means the natural law of the cosmos. It

is an independent intelligence. Whenever you are integrated with it, it is integrated with you. Only then is it possible that your energy is awakened. Only then is your energy is awakened.

*I bless you all to achieve success in the completion process. I bless you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, 'THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM'!*

*Whenever you use your energy for the expansion of others, only then will you yourself be able to walk on the path of expansion.*

*When you are in inauthenticity, you will be afraid to look into my eyes. Because I am looking at you with the 'thirdeye'! You are not ready to look at it; you are afraid. Your inauthenticity runs away from me. The state of fear can be born in you only when you are inauthentic. Only a man in authenticity, living authenticity, is a liberated one!*

### **A Life Without Fear Is Possible**

**Monday, 25 th February 2013**

Listen! Every time an inauthenticity is allowed to live in you, it leaves a powerful fear in you! Inauthenticity makes postponing and procrastination a pattern in you.

How many of you can cognize that when inauthenticity starts in you, the first symptom of is that you postpone everything? Continuously bring authenticity to you. It is possible, because inauthenticity cannot really take root in you. All your inauthenticities are only a roof garden, not a rooted garden! Only a rooted garden is difficult to uproot, but a roof garden has no roots. Roof gardens are only to the depth of a few inches of sand!

Inauthenticity constantly puts you in a state of postponement. Inauthenticity can put you in a mental state of postponing life. I tell you, *postponing life is nothing less than death*! If you are not living, what is the use even if you are breathing? Not living even when you breathe

- what is the use!! Live along with breathing. Live along with breathing. Don't postpone, live along with your breathing!

When this pattern of postponing settles in you, it eats away your breathing period; it kills your breathing period and puts you in death. It keeps you in temporary death even while you are alive. If you decide to do something, if you decide to express your life in some way, don't postpone it. If you postpone it, it is temporary death. You are dead! To postpone is death. Unfortunately, the word 'postpone' does not convey the meaning and the seriousness of postponement. Postponement is death as long as the pattern exists. Postponement is death as long as the pattern exists! With integrity and authenticity, I tell you, only when you take the risk of stretching to others' *anyakara*, will you know the miraculous powers you carry. If you have not tasted the miraculous powers you are carry, life is boredom for you!

Go on drilling yourself. Go on drilling yourself. Go on drilling yourself with integrity and authenticity. I tell you, only when you take the risk of stretching to others' *anyakara*, will you know your power, your inner power, the miraculous power you are carry. If you have not tasted the miraculous powers you are carry, life is boredom for you. You will experience life only as boredom.

I tell you, if you see me having any miraculous power, it came to me only when I decided to stretch myself to all your *anyakaras*. If you say that others have no right to have any *anyakara* about you, that may be a fact, but it is not authentic. When I am ready to stretch to your *anyakaras,* I see the extraordinary powers expressing through me. Continuously practice authenticity and integrity. You will experience miracles. You will continuously see miracles happening in your life. I am continuously seeing miracles happening in my life.

Today, I wanted all of you to do the homework of finding out how *dhamma* happens in your life, reminding you of your inauthenticities, and how you are afraid of *dhamma* and avoid it. *dhamma* is the power that radiates in my eyes, which you are afraid to look into, when you have done something that is in *adharma.* When you are in inauthenticity, you will be afraid to look into my eyes. You are afraid of the *dhamma that* radiates in my eyes. Whenever you are afraid to look at my eyes, because you know that they will be burning, be very clear - my third-eye is also open at that time! Because I am looking at you with the third-eye, you are not ready to look at it. You are afraid. Your inauthenticity runs away from me!

The ability to stare into your inauthenticities is the ability to look into the eyes of Kalabhairava. Why do you think Kalabhairava and Mahakali are depicted with big-big eyes? Because they constantly expose your inauthenticities to you, and you are afraid to look into their eyes! If you see Kalabhairava, you see nothing other than eyes! If you see Kashi Kalabhairava, *it is* as if the eyes have a mouth, nose, eyes, ears, hands and legs! It is not as if the body has eyes; the eyes are having hands, legs, lips and nose!

The state of fear can be born in you only when you are inauthentic. Only a man in authenticity, living authenticity, is a liberated one. The courage

*Inauthenticity makes postponing and procrastination a pattern in you.*

of authenticity is the ornament of a *sannyasi*. It is the grace of a *sannyasi*. The courage of authenticity should be the *rudraksha* for *sannyasi*. The courage which comes out of authenticity is the only true ornament around the neck of the *sannyasi*. With authenticity, even the *halahala* poison cannot do anything to you. With inauthenticity, even if you drink nectar, you will be cut into pieces!

Rahu drank the nectar with inauthenticity. He did not live, he did not achieve the result of the nectar; he did not achieve what he should achieve by the nectar. Instead, he became piece-piece! He is still hiding without identity. Rahu is called the shadow planet, do you know that?

With authenticity, even if you drinkthe *halahala* poison, it will not have any effect, because enrichment protects you. Devi protects you. *Halahala* cannot cross the power of enrichment - the heart. That is why it could not cross from Shiva's throat to *anahata,* where Devi is sitting and enriching. If enrichment is sitting in the heart, even poison cannot cross your throat!

Authenticity is the ornament of a *sannyasi*. Only with authenticity does love starts flowing. Two days ago, a *brahmachari* came to me with a problem he was facing. There was a discussion between him and me. I did not utter a single loving word to him, but he has realized that I love him. I have not uttered even a single word like 'I love you, you are my child; I will help you'*.* Mine is Kalabhairava's love; I have not uttered a single loving word or made a loving gesture, but he realized I love him. I tell you, with authenticity comes real love, care and concern. Only with authenticity comes not giving up on people, not giving up on people and not giving up on people. Only with authenticity, can you express true love.

Drill yourself again and again with authenticity and integrity. Again and again, let your thinking become integrity and authenticity. Only with authenticity, can you enrich others and yourself. Whether you or others, you can enrich only by authenticity. Go on enriching in every possible way and enrich people. It will happen only with authenticity. Inauthenticity is the pus. Until it leaves your system, neither will you be healthy nor will you make others healthy. Remove the pus from your system; you will be healthy and you will make others healthy. Inauthenticity is the unnecessary fat in your body; push it out, there is no other shortcut. You can't put everything under the carpet. Bring integrity and authenticity, in every step, in every line, in every thought. Enrich people in all possible ways. That is possible only with authenticity. Listen! Enrich people in all possible ways. That is possible only with authenticity!

*I bless you all to achieve success in the completion process. I bless you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, 'THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM'!*

*Only with authenticity, can you enrich others and yourself.*

*Wake up to your responsibilities. When you take up responsibility, you begin living life. I tell you, when you sit with this responsibility in your ananda gandha, you will see that your kundalini awakens and sends a strong wave to the cosmos, and your word changes the world!*

# **Wake Up To Your Highest Possibility**

**Tuesday, February 26th 2013**

Today, I will explain about responsibility.

One of my *sannyasis* has a question, *'Swamiji, you had earlier said that if we are in depression, we should just close our doors and not come out, and we will see that the depression will just go off."*

No! That is in a different context, for a different reason. Okay? I thought you will have good company within you, but that is not happening. So you have to at least have good company outside of you.


# Wake Up To Your Highest Possibility

Wake up to responsibility; you wake up to life. I tell you, each petal in your *ānanda gandha chakra* opens up with new powers, when you take up responsibility. *ānanda gandha* is visualized as an eight-petal lotus. Each petal opens up, when you enrich others and yourself. Go on enriching, go on taking responsibility, go on enriching, go on taking responsibility. Even when you are fighting with your enemy, if you are

fighting out of completion, you are only enriching him with the right lessons.

Listen! When you fight with your enemy out of completion, you are only enriching him with the lesson he needs to learn. Out of incompletion, even if you are teaching, you are only creating some more mental slaves for you, ideological slaves for you. How many of cognize this?

Even the most sacred thing like teaching should not be done out of incompletion. Out of completion, even the scariest things like fighting will only be teaching the right lesson to the enemy. Even fighting can become teaching, if you are in completion. If you are in incompletion, even the teaching will become fighting.

All of you start. This is the first instruction - *Guruvak*. From today, declare that you are complete, and do completion from all your old patterns, the self-fulfilling negative prophecies and complete all of them. I can see each one of you guys shining. I can see you guys doing it! Wake up to your responsibilities. When you take up responsibility, you begin living life. I tell you, when you sit with this responsibility in your *ānanda gandha*, you will see that your *kundalini* awakens and sends a strong wave to the cosmos, and your word changes the world.

I tell you guys, responsibility is the energy in which your life flowers and blooms. Responsibility is the lotus on which this *peetha* is sitting. Only if you learn to think with the four *tattvas*, you will learn to be in no-mind space, you will experience non-thinking space, not before that. First learn to think with these four *tattvas* as reality. Responsibility is the energy on which your life flowers. Responsibility is the energy on which your life flowers!

I tell you, sit with the space of impossible possibility, which I call responsibility. Responsibility means, the space where the impossibility becomes possibility. Miracle powers are at your disposal; they start expressing. I tell you, now each one of you who are vibrating with responsibility in your heart, you will start expressing these miracle powers like *vak-siddhi,* materialising, awakening your *kundalini* and others' *kundalini and* enriching yourself and others with these *tattvas.*

Responsibility is the space where the impossible becomes possible. Wake up! Wake up to the call of your heart's responsibility. How many of you have felt authentically, the joy of taking a huge responsibility in your life? I tell you, that is 'THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM'. Make that in your heart as THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

Listen to the call of responsibility of your heart. Remember, this season is the *poornatva* season, the season of completion. Continuously do completion, so that your irresponsible patterns die down, wither away and responsibility starts happening. Wake up to the responsibility. Every *sangha* should have this collective responsibility meeting within this *poornatva ritu*, until *Guru Poornima*. Before the *Guru Poornima,* you should all have the collective responsibility meeting, after completion. Or if you have done the collective responsibility meeting, you should even then continue the completion. All

*Responsibility is the energy on which your life flowers.*

the *sanghas* should do completion and collective responsibility meetings. Remember, this is the season of *poornatva*.

Continuously awaken the state of completion in you. I tell you, by this declaration and completion, you guys have already become Kali, *Durga (symbols of courage).* Now *Lakshmi (wealth) and Saraswati (wisdom)* will simply support you. It'll simply happen, because whenever *Durga* happens, *Lakshmi and Saraswati* rush there to support *Durga's* mission, *Kali's* mission. You guys have now shown the power, now *Lakshmi* and *Saraswati* will simply be there to support you guys.

Even I feel that something which I can't even grasp, is happening! I can see very clearly - the *sangha* has made all these declarations with integrity, authenticity, responsibility, and enriching. They have not said it with lack of integrity or authenticity, thinking, 'Let us just say it for now, what is there!' No! No inauthenticity! They did it with authenticity and that is why I see that I am also responding with so much of power of authenticity. That is why it is provoking and awakening so much power of authenticity in me. I tell you guys. Now, even your lack of integrity, inauthenticity - whatever is there now - *everything* will be imbibed and absorbed into your authenticity and integrity. It is like all the unnecessary things will become manure for the banyan tree that you guys are growing!

One of my *ashramites* is sending me a reminder, that I said I will talk on *viraja homa* today. I tell you, I am not just talking on *viraja homa, I am doing viraja homa now! Because, burning each one of your incompletions and irresponsibility I S the *viraja homa*.

*virajā vipaapmā bhūyāt svāhā* Let all the unnecessary dirt which is in me be burnt away.

*antaratmā me śuddhyantām* Let my inner space become pure.

*bahirātmā me śuddhyantām*

Let the life happening outside of me also become pure.

Understand, you don't have only *antaratma*; life is not happening to you only on the inside. It is happening to you outside also. That is why the *Upanishad rishi* is using two words; otherwise he could have just said, *'antaratma me śudyantām'.* No! He says, '*antaratma me śuddhyantām, bahirātmā me śuddhyantām, jyotiraham, virajāvipāpmā bhūyāt svāhā.'*

Because life is happening to you inside and outside, both. If life is not happening to you inside, it is depression; if life is not happening to you outside, it is inefficiency. If life is happening to you inside, it is responsibility, if life is happening to you outside, it is success. Understand? You cannot say life happens to me inside, but not outside. No! Be very clear: if life is happening outside, then life is happening inside also. Whoever is saying, *life is happening to me inside but not outside,* are called pseudo-*vedantis*. Whoever says, *life is happening to*

*If life is not happening to you inside, it is depression; if life is not happening to you outside, it is inefficiency.*

*me inside and outside also*, you belong to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM *sampradaya*. Some teachings say that life happens only outside, there is nothing called 'inside'. I completely differ. Life happens to you inside and outside; if you think it is only inside and not outside, you don't know outside. If you think it is only outside and not inside, you don't know inside. Life happens inside and outside ,both.

Every conflict inside you and outside you should be solved only with these four *tattvas*. These four *tattvas* are the fire in which the *viraja* happens to you*. Vi-raja* means *viraja* - free of impurities. Only when you offer yourself into the fire of these four *tattvas, this vedaagni, this jnanaagni - the fire of knowledge,* you become '*viraja' -* free of impurities.

I always wanted to initiate a hundred people into *sannyas,* in one batch. Now my dream is going to be fulfilled, my vision is going to be fulfilled. This *Shivaratri,* we will be initiating a hundred people into *krama brahmacharya*, *naishthika brahmacharya and sannyas*. At least a hundred people will be going through the *viraja homa, and I will be initiating them.*

Stand up with the courage of authenticity as your bone marrow, with the sweetness of enriching as your skin glow, with integrity as your inner software, with responsibility as your muscles, with completion as your blood flow, with commitment to the *Guru* and *sangha* as your breathing energy, with this one declaration that whatever may be the conflicts inside and outside, you will only resolve them with these four *tattvas.* And you will not give up on you; you will never give up on you. Live these four *tattvas*! There is nothing which can't be solved with these four *tattvas*. We will use nothing else to solve any conflict, other than these four *tattvas*.

Life means continuously practicing these four *tattvas* with excitement; not allowing you to settle down with the 'it's okay' pattern. You should settle down only with the four *tattvas.* Sometimes you may think, 'No, I need a vacation!' Your vacation IS settling with the four *tattvas!* When you don't settle with the four *tattvas*, you are at work. When you settle with the four *tattvas,* you have vacation. That is the truth. Live these four *tattvas* and enrich the whole universe!

When you live these four *tattvas,* your job is also enriching, your breathing is also enriching, *everything* is enriching! Whatever you do should be directly enriching. If you're maintaining an ashram, it should be enriching. If you're working in an IT company, it should be enriching people. You may get paid to take care of your family and your responsibilities, but you should only be aiming at enriching. Living life means continuously living these four *tattvas.*

*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 you don't settle with the four tattvas, you are at work. When you settle with the four tattvas, you have vacation. That is the truth.*

*The word that you give you and others is the bone structure of your life. That is the bone structure of your life! If you continuously break the bones of your life, how will your life be? The word you give to others is the inner structure of your success in life!*

# Four Truths Of Life

**Wed, 27 February 2013**

I am going to define the four *tattvas* – integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching yourself and others. Today, I am going to redefine these four, for all of you to imbibe them clearly.

*Integrity is fulfilling the word and thought you give to yourself and to others, and experiencing a state of completion – poornatva – with yourself, and with Life.*

Listen, the word that you give you and others is the bone structure of your life. That is the bone structure of your life! If you continuously break the bones of your life, how will your life be? Full of pain, distorted, '*vakra'*, perverted. The word you give yourself is the bone structure of your inner personality, the word you give to others is the inner structure of your success in life. If you are constantly breaking your bones, then life will be painful, a suffering and a torture!

Life is based on the word you give yourself and others. How many of you cognize what I am saying? It is based on the words that everything starts. So, the word you give yourself and to others is your life. It is literally your LIFE!

You have to fulfill the word you give yourself and others as your very life. If you are really sure that you can't do it, then you should at least do the bone transplantation, but not fracture the bone. Do bone transplantation. It means you should complete the word by declaring that you will not be able to fulfill that word. Finally, complete it.

For example, you have given a word that you will give a million dollars to somebody. It is your life! You *have to* fulfill that word now. But if you are very sure that you will not be able to fulfill that word, at least complete with them saying, 'I will not be able to fulfill it. I am taking my word back. Please look for some other source.' Even this is a completion.

But the second choice should be used like a bone surgery. Will you do bone surgery to yourself every day? No! You will rarely do bone surgery. It cannot be done every day. In the same way, you cannot just complete by taking back your word every day. While giving the word itself, you should be aware enough that you are going to fulfill it. Only rarely is surgery allowed. But there should be nothing incomplete without fulfilling or completing it. Experience a state of *poornatva*, completion with you and with life.

How many of you do more completion and less fulfilling? Raise your hand. Giving a word and then taking it back; completing it, instead of fulfilling it. Raise your hands. You are all living in unconsciousness. You are living in utter unconsciousness! You give your word, but you are not aware of what you are doing.

Integrity is you fulfilling the word and thought you give to yourself and to others and experiencing a state of *poornatva*, completion with yourself and life.

If you give a word, be very clear that your life has already started building. You have started building your life. You have to fulfill it. It is your LIFE! Dropping the word and completing is like pulling down the structure and rebuilding it. How many times do you pull down the structure and rebuild?

If you build a hundred buildings, maybe one will be pulled down and rebuilt. But what do you do in your life? If you give hundred words, ninety-nine are pulled down and rebuilt. What does it mean? You still have no respect for life. You are not aware of what you are doing. You need to become sincere. You need to have the courage of authenticity before you give a word. You should ensure that your authenticity is kept alive. I tell you, *authenticity is death for your boredom, and excitement for your life*. Because authenticity kills the old way of living, it is a death for you and it is an intense excitement to live.

Applying the sacred ash on your forehead means that you declare and commit, 'All my decisions will be based just on this one truth of authenticity, because nothing else (other than authenticity)

*Authenticity is death for your boredom and excitement for your life.*

should interfere in my decision-making. Everything else is only ash. It will only become ash. So, all these things, which will become ash, should not be a part of my strategy planning! My strategy for life, my strategy for success, *everything* should only be from authenticity.'

I have a question from a participant, '*Sometimes, we commit to something when we are in the mood, and in some days we don't feel that we need to fulfill it. Should we do it, just because we gave the word, without the spirit behind the words? Can we drop that commitment in this case?*'


# Success Is The Space Of 'Possibility'

In eleven days, he declared and decided to build the temple and cover it in gold. He allotted enough number of people and villages to keep this alive. He allotted four hundred dancers, five hundred and seventy priests and ten thousand people, who maintained and settled around the temple, just to take care of it. Can you imagine the houses of the people, who belong to the temple? It is the space of making things which you can't even grasp through your eyes but which you can grasp only through your visualisation! That space is *life* oozing in your muscles! Come on, let us live it!

We have sixty days to make the space of possibility as a part of our bio-memory. Let this be used by you and by your muscle-memory to taste the space of possibility! It is not only divorcing tiredness and boredom, but also imbibing ecstasy! Your heart and being should continuously tell you that it is possible. I can see it happening. There is no question of struggling and no question of visualizing failure, because *there is no failure*! If you are visualizing failure and failing, even that is success. So there is no such thing as failure. There is only success in life! You get what you visualize!

You will all only cognize success, and the space of possibility, like Hanuman, he is the space of possibility, as is Nandi. Your chest will expand when you carry that space of possibility. Be constantly in the space of success. When you go to a person to enrich him, know that he is getting enriched. Go in that space. Don't think, 'Oh! His logic may not match with my logic. I have to prepare myself, argue with him and convince him. No! Enriching people will be your breath from today. All of you understand, no matter how much you do, if the thought 'It is impossible' has interfered, it is impossible!

Just imagine how much Rajaraja would have suffered, internally and externally. The Tanjore temple was built in five years – three days less than five years! He completed it and the *kumbhabhishekam*

*Ecstasy is the space where anything impossible looks possible, because you are in the space of possibility.*

was done. The gold plating was done later, but the *kumbhabhishekam* of the temple was done! The gold was donated for his birthday. Then, the sheets were made, carved and fixed on the temple.

*Taking up the responsibility is the space of possibility*! You may say, 'He said it, and so everyone listened.' Please understand, his regime was almost like a democracy. He was like a president that's all. All the local bodies agreed to it and took it up.

He made this possible, just by inspiring people with his charisma! It's not like the whole country worked for this project. His son recorded all the sculptors and craftsmen. And just so that they don't go out of a job, he created a *second* temple! He also thought that he should not be taller than his father. So he reduced the height of the second temple by six or seven feet, just to respect his father. He created a second temple just to engage the sculptors and craftsmen. This means that only one section of the people worked on the first temple, and not the whole country.

Can you imagine the spirit and inspiration of the space of possibility? Life starts with the space of possibility!!

I tell you, bliss or *ananda* means 'the space of possibility, where life oozes out of you'. *Everything* should create a space of possibility in you. This temple structure was also the first time on planet earth when a structure was fully built with granite. For this, Raja Raja's heart would have said it, and his inner space too would have said 'It is possible'.

See, all I am trying to tell you guys is to taking the jump of 'possible'. When you see the space of possibility that Raja Raja lived and radiated, enriching a thousand human beings and inspiring them seems too small.

We are not taking any risk here, of trial-and-error, or gambling. But Raja Raja literally gambled his whole name, prestige & credibility. If something had happened while building it or the structure did not stand or collapsed, Raja Raja would have collapsed. Because his gambled his prestige, credibility and the trust that people had on him. *He did everything from the space of possibility and he did it*! In those eleven days when he declared and laid the foundation stone, he was in the peak of possibility and he made it happen!

I assure and commit with you guys, I will put you guys in the peak of possibility within the next few days. I am already pushing the whole collective consciousness of the *sangha* to the peak of possibility! Use this enriching celebration to experience the peak of possibility. The peak of possibility should be realized in every human being so that you become empty. You are nothing but a 'NO'. When the 'NO's disappear, you disappear and the *satyas* start living through you. Your personality is made of 'NO's and your identity is made of 'YES'. Let your personality be dropped and identity be awakened. Your personality is given by society but identity is natural. Start enriching others in the best way, you will see that you are getting enriched!

I can see that since yesterday the *sangha* has entered into a new phase. Listen! Listen! Listen! Through

*Taking up the responsibility is the space of possibility. Life starts with the space of possibility.*

# Success Is The Space Of 'Possibility'

this May-2013 IA celebration, let us all make authenticity as our lifestyle. Let us make living to our peak possibility as our lifestyle. We have to earn it and build it. It will not happen tomorrow, it will happen NOW! When you are in the space of possibility every person is a possibility. Constantly be in the space of integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching others. Enrich, enrich & enrich, you will make it and do it. The moment you remember the *tattvas*, the space is ecstasy. When you go with the space of possibility, you will engulf whoever you speak to with your ecstasy and inspiration. They are taken along with your Tsunami and Tornado! The *garbha* of each woman carries the space of possibility and that is why it can create a body. Let all of you carry the space of possibility in your *ananda gandha*.

The space of possibility is ecstasy, the space of positivity is joy, the space of leadership is *ananda* and the space of Enlightenment is *THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM*.

*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.*

*Whenever you look at any destruction as a reminder of your inauthenticity and irresponsibility, it is no more a destruction in your life. You have learnt how to make anything negative into something positive, to strengthen your life. If you are able to make anything negative into positive the moment it enters into your life, you are S HIVA - Causeless Auspiciousness.*

# Transforming Your Negativity Is Shiva-Power

**Sunday, 10th March 2013**

Today is *Shivaratri* - the day when timelessness – formlessness -namelessness appeared into the space of time, form and name, as Arunachaleshwara, for conflict-resolution and giving enlightenment to the gods Brahma and Vishnu. So the appearance itself happened for the sake of conflict-resolution.

Once, there was a conflict between *Brahma* and *Vishnu*. Conflict happens only when there is an ego. Both sides are responsible for the conflict. Even if one side does not have ego, the conflict will not happen. For any conflict, two egos are required, both of which are not ready to resolve the conflict, be authentic or take responsibility for the other's inauthenticity. For a conflict to happen, there must be lack of integrity, lack of authenticity and lack of responsibility to take responsibility for the other's irresponsibility and selfishness, and lack of the *tattva* of enriching. Only when all four are lacking, conflict is possible. When anybody who is in space, time and form forgets to take responsibility for other's irresponsibility, there will be conflict.

Between Brahma and Vishnu, a conflict happened about who among them is greater. Both of them were exposing each other, but were not ready to take responsibility for the other's inauthenticity.

The conflict started between Brahma and Vishnu. In a way, it's a fight between the father and the son; just the generation gap! The son is trying to teach a lesson to the father, 'You may be older, but I know much more about computers than you know. I can use this gadget much better than you!'

Listen! People who don't feel responsible even for their own actions are living in poverty. When I say poverty, I don't mean physical wealth alone; they also live a low-level existence, animallevel existence. People who take responsibility only for their own actions are human beings. People who take responsibility even for others' actions, others' irresponsibility, are leaders. Even though you or your action are not responsible, taking responsibility for others' inauthenticity and others' irresponsibility makes you leader, makes you divine. Unfortunately, here neither Vishnu nor Brahma was ready to realize their own inauthenticity and take responsibility for the other's inauthenticity.

Realize one truth: the moment you have conflict, you have lost the space of the ultimate in you! In

*Conflict happens only when there is an ego.*

# Transforming Your Negativity Is Shiva-Power

the space of the ultimate, there is no conflict. If there is conflict, the space of the ultimate is lost.

Brahma and Vishnu both lost the space of the ultimate in them. Now the universe is at stake! So Shiva (Mahadeva), the guy who is responsible for everything, who has to come and rescue everybody, who has to take responsibility for everybody's irresponsibility and inauthenticity, enters into the realm of space and time. As *Arunachaleshwara*, as a pillar of light, a *jyoti sthambha*, *Mahadeva* appears to teach them the truth. Anybody who is bound by space, time, name and form has to take responsibility for their existence. Mahadeva appears to do the conflict resolution, to remind Vishnu and Brahma to take responsibility for their way of existence.

*srishti* (creation) and *sthiti* (sustenance) think that they are the ultimate until destruction enters their life. Only when destruction enters their life, do they realize that they are not the ultimate! That is why Mahadeva has to happen in their life in the form of *Rudra,* destruction. You should realize that whenever *Rudra* has happened in your life, it is to remind you of your inauthenticity. All forms of *Rudra* happening in your life is to remind you to take up responsibility for your inauthenticity and irresponsibility.

Mahadeva appears to Brahma and Vishnu to expose their inauthenticity to them, and make them responsible for their inauthenticity and others' inauthenticity.

Today is the day Mahadeva appeared to resolve the conflict between *Brahma* and *Vishnu*, to remind them of their inauthenticity and ultimately enrich them with enlightenment. *Mahashivaratri* is the day to celebrate timelessness entering into time. I can say that in a way,

today is the day the Hindu calendar starts. The calculation of time starts from today. So naturally, *Shivaratri* is the oldest celebration, because the calendar starts today, the calculation of time starts today. Mahadeva has to appear again and again in your life to remind you that you are in state of inauthenticity and make you take responsibility to restore authenticity.

Whenever you look at any destruction as a reminder of your inauthenticity and irresponsibility, it is no more a destruction in your life. You have learnt how to make anything negative into something positive, to strengthen your life. If you are able to make anything negative into positive the moment it enters into your life, you are SHIVA - Causeless Auspiciousness. I am grateful and thank and congratulate my *sangha* for being and continually becoming Shiva. It is so beautiful. They are fulfilling my vision of one hundred *sannyasis* today, so refreshing, so alive, so joyful; feel like just born today, to live forever!

There are some things that have birth and death, such as your body. There are some things that have no birth but death, like illusion and delusion - *maya*. It has no beginning but it has death, it has anend. There are some things which only have a beginning, no end. That is the *sangha* of the Master. It only has birth and no death.

*If you are able to make anything negative into positive the moment it enters into your life, you are SHIVA - Causeless Auspiciousness.*

# Transforming Your Negativity Is Shiva-Power

*The river Ganga* only has birth but no death. It never dies. It becomes an ocean, but never dies. It may become an ocean, but it is still alive. It has no death. So listen! When any destruction comes in front of our face, we should know that *Rudra* is coming to remind us to take more responsibility and become more authentic. We are doing it; we will convert everything into the space of positivity and possibility!

Listen! Intense integrity brings you into the space of positivity, because if you are integrated, you will constantly be looking at the words you utter to you and to others. You will weed out all the negative processes, all the negative commitments you are giving to you and to others. This will leave you with the *prasad*, the gift of positively positive space, real positive space. And authenticity gives you the *prasad* of space of possibility, just a space of possibility.

When Rudra comes, face him with possibility and authenticity, and he becomes Shiva. Rudra becomes Shiva, causeless auspiciousness. He becomes the space of rejuvenation, not just destruction. When he becomes the space of rejuvenation, he is no more the space of destruction. The space of possibility makes Shiva happen in you. Shiva happens in you. Whenever you view any destruction happening in your life as happening only to expand you, you are in the state of *Shiva*. *Rudra* becomes *Shiva.*

Brahma should have been established in the state of integrity, because he represents the word. Vishnu should have been established in authenticity, because he is all-pervading, *sarva vyaapi*. When Brahma fell from integrity, Vishnu fell from authenticity. The conflict happened, and responsibility has to appear in the form of Mahadeva, taking responsibility for both, the lack of integrity and the lack of authenticity; reminding them and putting them back into the space of integrity and

authenticity. This action is enriching. *Mahadeva*, the embodiment of responsibility, appears to enrich Vishnu and Brahma, and to remind them about their inauthenticity and lack of integrity.


The four principles are the essence of all spiritual scriptures! Any problem of your life, any conflict in your life can be handled very practically, very efficiently, very skillfully, with these four principles. I can say with my entire experience that these four principles are the essence of all spiritual scriptures!

Listen! The first principle is integrity. Let me define integrity. *Integrity means you fulfilling the word and thoughts you give to yourself and to others, and experiencing the state of poornatva, completion, with yourself and with life.*

We all know honesty. Honesty is more like ethics, morality. But with the *tattva* of integrity, I am taking you a step deeper than honesty. With honesty, you only have to honor the words that you give to others. In integrity, you have to honor even the words that you give to yourself. Honesty is not integrity. Integrity is *also* honesty.

Listen! It is very unfortunate that society teaches you that you have to honor the words that you give to others, but forgets to teach you that you also have to honor the words that you give to yourself. The society treats you more like a utility. That is why it teaches you to honor the words that you give to society, but not the words that you give to yourself !

*The society only teaches you to honor the words that you give to society, but not the words you give to yourself.*

The words you give to yourself are as important as, or more important than, the words you give to others. Because the flow of your life - the amount of contentment that you feel in your life, the degree of fulfillment that you feel in your life and the experience of fulfillment that you feel in your life, *everything* depends on the words that you have given to you and the words which you have given to you.

Listen! The words you give to yourself form the bone structure of your life. If you commit with you that you will become a doctor, and if you don't honor that word, and you don't even bother to complete that word inside your heart, that word hangs inside you as a broken commitment given by you. When you break the commitments you give, you lose selfconfidence.

The more commitments you give and break, the more your selfconfidence is lost. You lose confidence in *you*. When you break the words given to others, it takes away their confidence in you, when you break the words you give to yourself, you lose confidence in yourself. When you don't honor the words you gave to yourself, and don't even bother to complete with them, the broken commitments that hang in your heart take away your self-confidence in life.

Listen! I will give you an example. If you give your word to somebody that you will give them ten lakh rupees, you have to honor that word as if it is your *life*! Do whatever it takes and get that money to them as per your commitment. If you know that even if you give your life, you will not be able to give them that money, at least tell them ahead of time that you will not be able to do what you said. Tell them that you are taking the word back, and you are completing with them about it. Even completion is integrity. Completion is also integrity.

Listen. Honoring is integrity. If you know that you cannot honor your commitment even if you give your life, only then can you go for completion. When you don't honor the commitments, the broken commitments take away the life happening to you. Life doesn't happen to you when you break the words you give to yourself and to others. When you break the words given to others, they lose confidence in you. When you break the words you give to yourself, you lose confidence in *you*!

In my life, I have seen, thousands of people who suffer with some form of addiction. Addiction does not mean addicted to alcohol or drugs or smoking. There are millions of addictions. There are some people who are addicted to talking. Some people are addicted to sleeping. Understand, those with addictions suffer more due to their low selfconfidence than due to their addiction. A drug addict suffers more because of his broken selfconfidence than his drug addiction. Again and again, he gives a word to himself that he will break the addiction pattern and come out of it, and again he falls into it!

Every time you honor the word you give yourself, self-confidence starts oozing in your musclememory and your bio-memory. When you honor the word you give to others, confidence oozes in your relationships. Others losing confidence in you takes away all the wealth of your life! You

*When you honour the word you give to others, confidence oozes in your relationships.*

losing confidence in you take away *life* itself from you! Please listen! Others losing confidence in you takes away the wealth of life from you! You losing confidence in you takes away life itself from you. How many of you are cognizing it?

When you break the words you give to others, they lose confidence in you. When you break the words you give yourself, you lose confidence in you. If you do not honor the words you give to yourself again and again, then the habit of not honoring the words you give yourself becomes part of your muscle-memory. Losing confidence over yourself becomes part of your muscle-memory. That is why even your willpower cannot heal your body.

I see this many times in my experience with people. Some people come out of even cancer with their will-power. Some people can't get out of their simple cough or headache, even with all their meditation and everything. It is because of the power of completion, integrity. If you are in integrity with you, any word you give yourself, even your muscles will listen to it.

The word you give yourself is the bone structure you form for your life. You *have* to honor it. If you are not able to honor it even by giving your life, at least you have to complete it. The words you utter towards yourself, the words you give to yourself, can be nectar or poison. The words you constantly repeat to yourself, the words you constantly tell yourself, have to be enriching you, inspiring you, exciting you and enlightening you. The words you give to you are *aahara,* what you consume to create life in you.

The first principle of life is integrity. When you start thinking and speaking with integrity, the ultimate possible inner cleaning happens.

Your inside becomes clean. Your *antaryami*, inner Presence, starts shining. Listen! As of now, your inner space is like an unattended, spoilt land with so many thorny bushes and weeds. That is why, whenever you make any decision in your business or any plan about your future, a corner of your mind always laughs at you and makes fun of you. It looks at you like a comedian. How much ever you try to be a hero, you judge yourself only as a comedian. You perceive yourself only as a comedian. You may struggle, struggle and struggle to be a hero, but you perceive yourself only as a comedian - because you constantly broke the words you gave yourself ! When you plan now for your future, or you try to give any word to you, you yourself don't have confidence in you because breaking the word you give yourself has already become your muscle memory. When you start thinking and speaking with integrity, the ultimate possibility and positivity happen in you!

Listen! You can run your life just in the level of mom- shop or pop-shop; that does not need great integrity. Because your whole investment is just a few hundred rupees, just a few dollars. Your whole income is just a few dollars or rupees. Then you may not need integrity. But if you want to live life - when I say life I mean LIFE - if you want to live life in a real way, then integrity, especially with yourself, is the first principle you need to start living.

*The words you constantly repeat to yourself have to be enriching you, inspiring you, exciting you and enlightening you.*

Today, I will expand completely on this one principle, integrity.

Whether you are happening to life, or life is happening to you, is the question here. You can happen to life in your scale, or life can happen to you in its scale. When you try to take over life, when you try to take over the *vishva,* it is more like trying to possess life. When *vishva* tries to take your *roopa,* it is *vishvaroopa, the experience of universal Life.* When you try to take over *vishva,* you try to possess, politically manipulate and control. But when *vishva* tries to take your *roopa*, *vishvaroopa* happens. The word you give yourself should be honored as the very life, life, life!

Integrity with yourself is the first thing you need to do in your life. Now, sit and list out all the words you gave yourself which you did not honor. At least now, complete with them. Tell yourself that you will not be able to fulfill them or honor them. Free yourself from the word you gave yourself. When you complete or honor the word you gave to you, you experience tremendous self-confidence, which is the base of the life that happens in you. With integrity, your relationship with you and your relationship with *sangha*, your relationship with others, starts. Your family is also your *sangha*; your place of work is your *sangha,* your place of profession is your *sangha*. Your circle of friends is your *sangha.* Your Facebook friends are your Facebook *sangha*. Whatever you do with people becomes *sangha*. That is why *satsanga* becomes very important in your life.

If you are not in *satsanga*, be very clear that you are in *dussanga (bad company).* Either you are in *satsangha* or in *dussanga*. You can never be in *nissanga* until you are enlightened.

I want to repeat the essence of today's satsang. Identify wherever you are in integrity with the words you gave to others and to yourself. I

repeat again and again, because you don't listen! Until you listen, I will repeat, I will continue to repeat!

*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 you complete or honor the word you gave to you, you experience tremendous self-confidence.*

*Every one of us is greedy for powers that leaders have, the powers that gods and higher souls have, but unfortunately no one wants to take the responsibility for it. I tell you: the world has abundance. Neither wealth nor extraordinary powers are restricted when you take responsibility. When you start becoming responsible, powers, wealth, spiritual powers, all the auspicious things, start expressing through you intensely.*

# Responsibility Means Expanding Your Possibilities

**Thursday, 14th March 2013**

Today, I will expand on the concept of Responsibility.

*Responsibility means living, thinking, speaking, acting and responding to life from the truth that you are the source of everything happening inside and around you, and therefore you are responsible for all happenings inside and outside you!*

Let me repeat. Responsibility means living, responding, thinking, speaking, acting and reacting to life from the truth that you are the source of everything happening in and around you, and therefore you are responsible for all the happenings in and around you.

The biggest question we now have in our mind is, 'How can I be responsible for everything happening around me? I can be held responsible for what is happening inside me. How can I be held responsible for what is happening outside me? For example, if an accident happens in my life,

how can I be responsible?'

Everybody asks this question. Let me answer you.

- A person who does not feel responsible even for his own actions is an animal. He lives in a very low-level consciousness!
- A person who feels responsible for his own actions is a human being. He lives in a middle-level consciousness.
- A person who takes responsibility even for others' actions is divine. He lives in leadership consciousness, *ishvaratva*.

Sometimes, you may not be the reason for some happenings. But if it is affecting your life, you ARE responsible for those happenings. Just because you are not the reason as per your logic, you can't say that you are not responsible in truth. You may wonder, *how can I be responsible?* You need to know that unless you take responsibility, you are neither going to improve the situation, nor expand in inner space.

Vivek*ananda* says very beautifully, 'Take more and more responsibility; your shoulders will become stronger and stronger.'

In any field, freedom is the basic condition for growth. Responsibility brings the experience of freedom. With responsibility, your consciousness expands. Every one of us is greedy for powers that leaders have, the powers that gods and higher souls have. But unfortunately, no one wants to take the responsibility for it. I tell you: the world has abundance. Neither the wealth nor the extraordinary powers are restricted when you take responsibility. When you start becoming responsible, powers, wealth, spiritual powers, all the auspicious things, start expressing

# through you intensely!

Listen! Let me define responsibility. *Responding to you and the world from the best possibility is responsibility.* Responsibility not only awakens leadership qualities in you but also awakens leadership consciousness in you. Qualities are different, consciousness is different. In the corporate life, in the outer world, if you are taking responsibility for some position or post, you may express leadership qualities. But only when you take responsibility for everything happening in and around you do you express leadership consciousness.

When you expand, expand and expand, the commitments and responsibilities you hold in your being for yourself go on expanding and expressing all the possibilities. You either react or respond. You only have two ways of relating with the world. If you feel that you are not responsible, you react. If you feel that you are responsible, you respond. When all your actions are responses and not reactions, you are a *karma yogi*; no *karma* binds you, you are living in completion and expressing completion. When you feel that you are not responsible, you react. *Reacting puts you in bondage. Responding keeps you in completion!*

Only when you express all the possibilities out of liberation cognition, are you living your life. Life is

*A person who takes responsibility even for others' actions is divine.*


Lived when *jeevanmukta sambhaavana,* the space of possibility, the space of leadership becomes your lifestyle! I tell you, nothing else is required for you to be a leader; just leadership consciousness is enough. When Vivekananda walked the length and breadth of India, he did not have anything other than leadership consciousness in his life. But wherever he went, kings washed his feet, gave their own thrones for him to sit, received his blessings and guidance and requested his spiritual support.

It is responsibility which makes you realize all possibility. It is leadership consciousness which brings not just success, but fulfillment in you. I tell you, I have seen thousands of politicians who have power without having the state of leadership consciousness. Sometimes, people sit on the throne or get the power and become power centers, without having the state of a leader. I have seen them dying in depression or suffering in suffocation, due to the power! They never enjoy the power. Unless you achieve the state, the status is a liability! If you have not achieved the state, the status binds you and also brings suffering to others. The state of responsibility, the state of the leader, *īśvaratva* - leadership consciousness has to be achieved first.

When you do not carry the consciousness of leader, even if you get the powers of the leader, you are bound by it. You will also bind the people who come under you, accepting you as leader. This is one of the biggest diseases with which India is suffering. There are many seats which are occupied by people who are not responsible enough for the seat they occupy. From the individual house, to official power, political power and media power - in every field, many people who have not achieved the state get the status. They become a liability!

Leadership consciousness is an independent intelligence; it cannot be hidden from others. Once you have it, the whole world will know that you have it; the world simply listens to you! You do not need any power, political strength or infrastructure for the world to know that you are a leader. Even if you walk on the street, you will stand tall - as a MAN among men. And the world will respect you!

I want all my *swamis* and *swaminis* to create their resume with a photograph! You can all post the way in which you want to express your unique character or energy. It should be published on the website. See, each one of you represent one ray of my energy. Somebody represents my intellect, somebody represents my devotion and somebody represents my being. Each one of you represents one ray of me.

Listen! If I am the sun, each one of you are the rays; each one of you represents a ray. So present yourself as the ray you represent - what you are offering to the world, what are the ways in which you are contributing and enriching the world. This is the statement you want to make to the world about yourself, the *ahaṁkāra* you are projecting. So, the *anyakara* of the world will start evolving around this. So be very clear on what you are!

And I tell you - you have the full freedom to declare that you are enlightened. You have complete freedom to declare this. Because when you declare, you are responsible, and you will have

*It is leadership consciousness which brings not just success, but fulfillment in you.*

# Responsibility Means Expanding Your Possibilities

to live it. You will have to demonstrate it. When you declare that you are enlightened, you should be able to stretch yourself to the *anyakaras* you create. Declaring enlightenment is not more power, it is more responsibility! Clear? So it is your individual choice. You can declare any day that you are enlightened. You are after all a *swami* now. You are an independent entity by existence. You can move the cosmos as you want. If the cosmos is not moving as you want, just create another one, that's all!

The space of positivity, possibility, *īśvaratva* and enlightenment is your space. So from there, you can declare anything you want, and make it into reality, in any way you want. And anybody who wants to be part of this order can start applying and preparing yourself to be part of this order. Great!

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

## The Science of Living Enlightenment - Revealing the four sacred principles that empower YOU!_English_part_6.md

*Do not think that if you only enrich yourself, you will experience completion and fulfillment in life. No! Enriching others is a basic necessity of your life, for experiencing fulfillment. When you enrich those with whom life is happening to you, only then will life be complete and enriched for you. Enriching others making others life alive!*

# **Life is All About Relationships**

**Friday, 15th March 2013**

Today, I will expand on the fourth principle of life, enriching. Please listen!

*Enriching means you taking the responsibility with integrity and authenticity that you are committed to continuously enriching, which is expanding yourself and life in and around you.* Enriching means continuously expanding you with these four principles, and continuously enriching others to expand with these four principles.

Listen! This is the first question that will usually come in peoples' minds, especially, if you are a spiritual seeker. 'Why should I enrich others with these principles? If I live these principles, is that not enough? Why do I need to enrich others with these principles?' Most of you must be having this question!

You should understand. *life happens to us outside us*! Consciousness may be inside, but life is happening outside! If you are just sitting inside a cave in a deep jungle, you eat some forest fruits and drink the *Ganga* water and sleep and you don't see people at all, then you may not need to enrich others. But even then, you need to enrich the tree which gives you fruit and the river which gives you water! In our life, in practical life, life is happening to us outside us!

Let's analyze this, internalize this and understand. *manana* - let us do *manana* - contemplation, and understand this. Who are you? You are just a collection of all your identities. I can take any one example. Any one of you would like to volunteer? Come to the mike. Let me analyze your life and give you the right way of enriching.

Swamiji: Let us see. What are the identities which put together, make you who you are?

Devotee: *Daughter, mother, wife, daughter-inlaw, friend, teacher, student, devotee, disciple, entrepreneur… that's all.*

Swamiji: Now, I will take her example and tell you. See, if your personality is one hundred percent, each one of these identities has some percentage in your personality. Maybe, the identity that you are a daughter occupies twenty percent; the identity that you are a wife occupies twenty to thirty percent; the identity that you are a disciple may occupy some twenty to thirty percent and the

*If you give up on you, you fall into depression. If you give up on others, you fall into loneliness. Don't give up on you and others.*

# Life is All About Relationships

identity that you are a teacher may occupy ten percent. These different identities occupy certain percentages of your being. Am I right?

So now, your identity as a daughter can get fulfilled only if your father is enriched! Life can happen to you in the ultimate form as a daughter, only if your father is enriched. Life can happen to you completely as a wife, only if your husband is enriched. So if your personality is one hundred percent, each person has a share. Only if each person involved in your personality, in your relationships, with whom life is happening to you, only if all of them are enriched, will *your* life be complete and enriched.

Do not think that if you only enrich yourself, you will experience completion and fulfillment in life. No! Enriching others is a basic necessity of your life, for experiencing fulfillment. You can never be complete or fulfilled if all the people who are involved in your life are not complete or fulfilled. Only when they are all enriched with these four principles, you will experience enrichment with these four principles. When you enrich those with whom life is happening to you, only then will life be complete and enriched for you. Enriching others making others life alive!

Swami Vivekananda says beautifully, when he defines the ideal for his organization, '*ātmano mokṣārtham jagat hitāya ca' -* for the sake of the world's well-being and for the sake of one's own liberation. Please listen! He is not just saying 'for one's own liberation'; he says, 'for the sake of the well-being of the world also – '*jagat hitāya ca'*.

Again and again, seekers have this problem, 'Why should I enrich others' life?' This is one of the biggest problems we have. 'I should live, I understand that, but why I should bother about others? After all, the world is an illusion!' You can realize the truth that the world is an illusion only when you are in completion; only when the *pūrṇa* is experienced! *pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṁ -* only out of *pūrṇa*, is *pūrṇa* experienced! Only out of completion does completion happen. Listen, only when you enrich others are you enriched! I can tell you one thing from my experience. Only when you start teaching others do you realize the truth completely.

There is a proverb in Sanskrit: 'When you listen to the truth from the master, you only understand twenty five percent. When you clarify your doubts, you understand fifty percent. When you discuss among your friends, you understand seventy five percent. Only when you start teaching and sharing with others do you understand one hundred percent!

Vivekananda says that unless you enrich those with whom life is happening to you, you can never experience fulfillment. Especially the people who are involved in your life, like your employees, boss, father, mother, whoever is involved in your life. If they are not radiating these principles, you are not going to be experiencing fulfillment, you are not going to be experiencing the truth, you are not going to be experiencing completion, enriching does not happen to you. Unless you enrich others, you will never be complete, because life is happening to you outside you!

*You can realize the truth that the world is an illusion only when you are in completion.*

# Life is All About Relationships

Please listen, only consciousness is happening to you inside; life itself is happening to you outside. Because consciousness is inside, you think that life happens to you inside. The source may be inside, but the happening is outside!

Enriching is taking responsibility with integrity and authenticity, that you are committed to continuously enriching yourself and enriching others. Not giving upon you and people - this is the *mūla mantra*. Not giving up on you and people! I tell you, if you give up on others without enriching them, you will give up on yourself. You will give up on yourself ! If you don't have the patience to continuously enrich others, without giving up on them, you will N O T have the patience to enrich you without giving up on you!

*When you give up on you, what happens to you physically is disease, what happens to you mentally is depression, and what happens to you consciously is bondage*! When you give up on yourself physically, your health will be broken. When you give up on yourself mentally, you will fall into depression. When you give up on yourself spiritually, you will fall into bondage. When you don't give up on yourself, you build the *yogic* body, *Vedic* mind and enlightened consciousness. When you don't give up on others, you also create the same for others. I tell you, if you have the pattern of giving up on others, you will give up on you. Each person that you have not given up on in your life is one extra pair of hands that you have Each person you gave up on in your life is one broken hand!

Listen! Enriching happens to you only when you are also enriching others. Don't give up on others. If you give up on you, you fall into depression. If you give up on others, you fall into loneliness. Don't give up on you and don't give up on others. This is the essence of what I wanted to share with you all today.

From tomorrow, I will continue to expand on how to create a beautiful relationship with these four principles and how to apply these four principles and create fulfillment in the areas of health, wealth, life - in *every* line!

Please listen! Expansion in your consciousness happens only when enriching happens to the people around you. Without enriching others, completion and fulfillment will never be experienced inside you, however much you may try. With this understanding, even the business you do will be a great fulfillment. Until you experience fulfillment in others who are living around you, your inner space can never settle in completion.

*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 you give up on you, what happens to you physically is disease, mentally is depression, and consciously is bondage.*

*With integrity, you will experience the relationship with yourself, for the first time. Until you align yourself to integrity, even you do not know what you really want in your life! Until you align yourself to integrity, even you do not know what you want in your life. You want something and you are doing something else!*

# **What is integrity in Relationships?**

**Saturday, 16th March 2013**

Today, I will expand on how these four principles of life can enrich you in your relationships.

The first principle of life is integrity. Just take a few minutes and visualize - if everyone around you talks to you with integrity and speaks only the truth to you and relates with you with integrity, how nice your life will be! Just take a few seconds and visualize this.

How many of you suffered in your life because people around you lied to you or did not have integrity towards you? Raise your hand.

Then, when you have suffered, why do you want to give the same suffering to others? We expect sympathy and integrity from others. But unfortunately, we ourselves don't live it. You expect integrity from others, but you do not feel the need to practice integrity in your own life.

# What is integrity in Relationships

Listen! I want all of you to know that integrity is not being promoted by me, as a morality or ethics. I am not promoting integrity as a morality or ethics. Integrity is much more than morality and ethics. I am offering integrity to you as a cosmic principle, as a cosmic law! When you are integrated, so many resources which are only there in you as a potential suddenly becomes a reality in you!

With integrity, you will experience a relationship with yourself for the first time! Until you align yourself to integrity, even you do not know what you really want in your life! Until you align yourself to integrity, even you do not know what you want in your life. You want something and you are doing something else.

Yesterday one of my *ananda yogam* students sent me a question about freedom. He was asking, *'Swamiji, you said freedom means aligning the possibilities you are creating with your free will. Is this freedom?'*

You are right, but your question needs to have a little more integrity! If you start living integrity, you will have the question itself from a deeper angle. Let me explain.

Please listen! When you give a word to yourself and you honor it, three things happen. First, your bio-memory will be aware while you give words to yourself; second, it will decide to remember whenever you give words to yourself; third, it will have tremendous self-confidence about the words you give to you.

Sometime people come and tell me, 'Swamiji, I forget the words that I give to me.' It is like you when you were a kid - when your kids give you words but you don't take them seriously. Why? Because you know that they won't fulfill them! They will say, 'I will wake up in the morning.' But, you know that they will not do it, because they have failed many times. So you don't take them seriously. In the same way, when you have not honored the words you gave to you many times, not only do you not take them seriously, you don't even bother to remember them. How many of you cognize what I am saying?

Many times, many times, because you built the pattern of not honoring the words you give to yourself, not only do you not bother to fulfill them, but you also do not bother to execute or remember them. Every word you talk to yourself is a commitment that you are giving yourself. With this understanding, you should think. It means, that you have so much of awareness, it needs to be infused while you think, while you give words to you.

Listen! It is unfortunate that society constantly reminds you to fulfill the words you give to society, but it does not teach you the basic truth that you need to fulfill and honor the words you give to yourself. Many times, you don't honor the words you give yourself. You don't even bother to remember the words you give yourself, because you built the pattern of not honoring the words you give yourself !

In *Spandakarika* and *Vignana Bhairava Tantra, when Mahadeva (Bhairava) teaches Bhairavi,* he brings in

*With integrity, you will experience a relationship with yourself for the first time!*

# What is integrity in Relationships

this point again and again. In almost twenty meditation techniques he says, 'By self-remembrance, enlightenment is achieved!'

Please listen! The first step towards self-remembrance is being integrated with yourself ! You should honor every word you give yourself, you should remember it. Only then will you have a beautiful relationship with yourself.

I tell you, if you are not complete with yourself, you can never have a vacation in your life. You may go to any beach and lie down, you may go to any resort and lie down, you may go to any tourist spot, you may go to any spa and try to have a vacation, but I guarantee you - if you are not complete with you, you cannot have a vacation! You simply cannot have a vacation if you are not complete with you!

Even if you lie down in a beach or sit in a park trying to enjoy the evening sunset, you are carrying an incomplete being. So, you will constantly be haunted by you, harassed by you. You carry the incomplete part of you, in you. You cannot leave that guy anywhere, no matter where you try to escape. Escaping from *you* is a race you will always lose!

So, the first step you need to do to have a vacation, is not booking your resort or flight ticket or golf course. No! Do completion with you. Do completion with you! That is the first step you need to do, if you want a vacation in your life.

It is so unfortunate that human beings don't do first things first. First, have a beautiful relationship with you. The best relationships start with you having a great relationship with you. How many of you cognize this truth?

Listen! Listen! LISTEN! I still have not asked the question. Listen! You prepared yourself for a great vacation; you booked your tickets, you booked your resort, and the whole family is ready. You go there for your vacation, but because your incompletions are haunting you, you are only more depressed, more disturbed and you come back to your work more tired. How many of you have experienced this? Raise your hand.

Now, first make a list of all the commitments you gave yourself and did not fulfill. Sit and write them down. Complete them first. If you have already honored them, great! If you are going to honor it, commit to honor it within a clear time-frame. If you are not able to honor, if you feel that you will not be able to honor it even by giving your life, then at least complete with yourself ! Relieve yourself from that commitment; consciously fulfill it. It is so unfortunate that you care so much about the words you give to others due to your fear or greed, but you don't care for the words you give yourself. Only if you complete with you, only if you are complete with you, you will be able to even be in the space of self-remembrance, restful awareness*, atma smarana*.

When I teach people techniques about selfremembrance, they come back and complain to me, 'Swamiji, I am not able to constantly be in remembrance of myself, of my *atman.* I drift off

*The first step towards selfremembrance is being integrated with yourself!*

### What is integrity in Relationships

into other ideas and subjects. Why?'

Listen! It is because of your incompletions that you are not in restful awareness when you remember yourself. The first thing you need to do is complete with you, build a relationship of restful awareness with you, a relationship of completion with you. The words you give to you and to others have to be integrated. You need to bring integrity within you. Only then, the technique of *atma vichaara* given by *vedanta*, the technique of self-remembrance given by Buddha, the self-remembrance techniques given by Mahadeva in *Vijnana Bhairava Tantra*, everything will produce the result of *atma jnaana* in you, enlightenment in you. If you do not have completion with you, how can you remember yourself beyond the incomplete identities? Your incomplete identities are responsible for the constant inauthenticity, the lack of integrity and irresponsible thoughts happening in you.

When I was young, I used to sit in *samadhi* for hours together. At first, my classmates used to make fun of me. After a few years, they started asking me, 'We do not know what you think when you are sitting quietly, but we are really shocked that you are able to sit for hours together, silently.' I said 'What is there in this? It is my body and my mind. I just tell myself to sit and I sit, that's all!' Only when my classmates expressed their inability to sit with themselves did I realize that to be able to sit with yourself silently is one of the great gifts you can have. First, you have to build a relationship with *you*.

Today, the truth I wanted all of you to experience is this. Unless you complete with you, you will not have restful awareness. Restful awareness with *you* is very important. I tell you, restful awareness with yourself is not just wealth, it is a basic right for you. In the cosmic constitution, restful awareness is your basic right. Enlightened beings

land on the planet earth to ensure that your basic right is restored to you. I am defending the cosmic constitution continuously, to ensure that your basic rights are restored to you, and you reclaim your basic rights.

Restful awareness with you is your basic right, and I proclaim that it is possible for you to reclaim your basic right. Self-completion, *svapoornatva*, is the direct method to reclaim your self-completion, your space of restful awareness.

How many of you cognize with integrity and authenticity that self-completion makes you experience restful awareness with you? Raise your hand.

I tell you, this is your basic right. Reclaim it and live it.

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!*

*Unless you complete with you, you will not have restful awareness.*

*Human beings unfortunately do not look for permanent, real solutions. They only want consolation, not solutions. That is the main reason why the teachers who give temporary solutions are more popular; it feels more like a fast-food restaurant! But I tell you, permanent solutions are easier and quicker than temporary solutions. The mind which goes for temporary solutions has a certain sickness, and will not execute even the temporary solutions!*

# **Get a Permanent Solution!**

**Sunday, 17th March 2013**

Today I will speak on how being in integrity expands your relationships with others. Yesterday I was expanding on how integrity directly creates a relationship with *you*.

Please listen. Relationship is of different levels. The first level is being able to sit with you and be in peace with you and in completion with you.

You need to understand integrity. I will give the explanation once more. integrity is the most powerful, profound, immediate solution.

First, integrity makes you feel comfortable with you, because completion makes you feel comfortable with you. When you are complete with you, so many wonderful things start happening. Completion with you means that the possibility for creating new disease disappears. All the disease you create newly is from the source of incompletion.

# Get a Permanent Solution

integrity stops you from creating new disease. Authenticity heals even the disease you created earlier. When you start thinking with integrity, with awareness, every word you give yourself becomes a commitment that you give yourself. It means that every desire you have is a commitment you have given to yourself !

So listen! When you know that every word you give yourself is a commitment you make with you, and you have to honor it, you will only give conscious commitments to you, you will only say conscious words to you.

It's really unfortunate! You have so much knowledge and awareness about so many things happening in so many places around the world, but you do not have the knowledge about what is happening inside you. You are not aware of what is happening inside you!

When you bring integrity in your thinking, the first thing is that you will know what is happening inside you. integrity makes you feel comfortable with you, because completion makes you feel comfortable with you. If you have not honored the words you give to yourself, they remain as a hangover in you and continue to burn you with incompletion. If you don't honor the words you give to yourself, you lose self-confidence and self-respect. If you don't honor the words you give to others, you will lose others' confidence in you and their respect over you.

Listen! Everything in your life is the totality of honoring the words you give to yourself and to others, because the respect you carry for you and the respect others carry for you, the confidence you have on you and the confidence others have for you - these two put together is your life.

When you honor the word you give to others, not only will they have confidence and respect for you, but even the relationship itself exists only then. Please understand, each human being carries so much of energy that even if you have an integrated relationship with only one human being, your life can be different. Every person with whom you have an integrated relationship adds strength to you - not just mentally, like confidence, moral boost or social power; but even consciously. They add strength to you.

If you are having an integrated relationship with your mother, she consciously adds strength to you. If you have an integrated relationship with your father, he consciously adds strength to you. Every individual with whom you have an integrated relationship consciously enriches you.

Listen! When you have incompletion with your mother, there is every possibility that the left part of your body will be paralyzed in the latter parts of your life. If you have incompletion with your father, the right part can get paralyzed. Because it is your mother's bio-memory and your father's bio-energy that you carry in your body!

You need to know that relationships are not something external. It is an expression of yourself, how you feel with you. The relationship you carry with you is projected as the relationship with the

*Relationships are an expression of yourself, how you feel with you.*

world. Just visualize. If everyone who relates with you is integrated, how happy your life will be! Whenever they are not integrated, how much you have suffered!

When you bring integrity by either honoring or completing the word you give to others, others will have so much confidence in you, and you will have so much confidence in others. The conflicts in your life will drop drastically.

When you bring integrity, the conflicts in your life will drop drastically. Success happens in life, fulfillment happens in life, when the conflicts reduce. When the conflicts reduce, life energy starts oozing in you.

Unfortunately, human beings don't look for permanent, real solutions. They only want consolation, not solutions. That is the main reason why the teachers who give temporary solutions are more popular; it feels more like a fast-food restaurant! But I tell you, permanent solutions are easier and quicker than temporary solutions. The mind which goes for temporary solutions has a certain sickness, and will not execute even the temporary solutions. If you are asking for temporary solutions, that itself shows that your mind suffers with the laziness pattern, the boredom pattern which will not allow you to practice even simple, temporary solutions.
