Introduction

What you feel as you, what you show yourself to others as you and what others perceive as you – all these put together is your personality. Authenticity is living at the peak of our capability. We determine our ultimate capacity by becoming aware of what we expect of ourselves. Part of it is from our inner self image, called mamakara in Sanskrit. The two other portions of our self expectations are projected from our suppressed ideas about ourselves and are reflected back to us in what others ask of us. These are called ahankara, what others believe we already are, and anyakara, what others hope or wish we will become.

Once we understand that others are merely showing us what we expect of ourselves, we have found the path of self realization and achieved the state of authenticity.

When you fulfill others expectations about you and realize this is also what you expect about you, you reach the space of self realization. As long as you think you are stretching just because of others expectation of you, you will carry a continuous irritation, agitation and heaviness. When you realize this is your expectation about you, you will have fulfillment, joy, joy of renunciation and joy of sacrifice. Expressing your peak potential in all the three; mamakara, ahankara and anyakara is authenticity

To make them understand how we can be in the path of self-realization.
