Authenticity Book 8

The courage of being established in the peak of your capability, and responding to life from who you perceive to be for yourself, who you project yourself to be for others, what others expect you to be for them and what you expect them to be for you is what is called śraddhā, Authenticity. Authenticity is you being established and responding to life from who you believe yourself to be ,who you believe yourself to be for others and what others believe you to be for them.

Living in your peak capacity in all the four identities, - INNER IMAGE mamakara - outer image ahankara -others image anyakara - life image svanyakara

aligning your life to all the four dimensions, and expressing your peak potential in all these four, is Authenticity, Śraddha!

When you practice shraddha, cosmos will grant to you anything you want, your life will become a possibility.

If authenticity is not continuously BEING Practiced, you cannot be a possibility, you are dead! Constantly make authenticity a practice, in your work, in your thinking, in your health! Constantly expand your thinking, constantly expand your perception!

Its not so hard to practice authenticity. You just need some time with yourself. Authenticity is a self complete technique, from the beginning to the end. It means bringing yourself out of the mood of powerlessness again and again. When you are powerless, feeling very agitated and uncomfortable, completely wash yourself with authenticity.

When you develop listening, you will not be able to carry inauthenticity in you. Unless you become authentic to listening, you will feel agitated, bored, irritated and try to jump to conclusions. A person who listens patiently without any tiredness to every speaker, is integrated he has found his authenticity. Only then he is able to effectively transmit the truth to others.

Constantly practicing authenticity brings you to the space of possibility. Śraddha or Authenticity continuously connects you with yourself and your highest possibility whether it is being a good speaker or a good listener. Life is for realizing that possibility. Life is for realizing the Self. Life is for realizing itself.

Authentically authenticating authenticity means again and again saying no to the mind which says "it is okay constantly fill yourself with authenticity, authenticity itself becomes a power. You have to make sure that authenticity gives you the power. It empowers you. It constantly gets you out of the space of powerlessness.

The power of passion and the power of patience both express in their extreme, only when you are authentic. Bring authenticity and the ability to stretch yourself to complete the anyakaras of everyone around you. Anyakara is what others feel about you, it is not a curse but a possibility for your expansion. Every time you raise yourself to others anyakara, every time you stretch yourself to fulfill others anyakara, you achieve completion.

When you authentically commit, so much of energy is sent to your body and mind, and your laziness pattern is broken. Whatever you commit will become your reality because that is what is in your inner space. When you commit that you are going to do it, the cosmos immediately sends energy to your body and mind and you do it.

The thinking based on dharma. Aligning all your thinking based on the cognition of the four principles—tattvas of integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching is right thinking

It is neither difficult nor easy, but you have to do it! It is nothing but tuning yourself to a certain frequency. How tuning or changing a channel is neither difficult nor easy, it is a simple technique; same way, go on tuning your thinking to śraddha, authenticity. Always think about your thinking and align your thinking to authenticity

Living in your peak capacity, performing in your peak in all the four (mamakara, ahamkara, anyakara and svanyakara), expressing your peak potential in all the four, expressing your highest possible energy in all these four is authenticity.

Mamakara - what you feel as you inner image. Your own expectation about you is mamakāra or Inner Image. It is the inner idea and the experience you carry about yourself like—I am healthy, I am ugly, I am intelligent, I cannot tolerate hard work, I love people etc. But, the idea you carry about you is always less than what you project yourself to be for others!.

What is ahamkara – outer image?

Ahankara - what you project you to others outer image The second identity is how you show or project yourself to others called ahaṁkāra or Outer Image. Unfortunately, what you project is always far more than what you believe yourself to be.

Anyakara - what others hold you as—others' image

The third identity you carry is the image that others have about you, how others expect you to be, called anyakāra or Others' Image. How others perceive you may be different from how you project yourself to them, because people create their opinion about you from the subtle signals you give them, rather than what you openly project. Humans are intelligent enough to catch even what you don't say or especially what you don't say!

Svanyakara - what you think about others and life—life image And the fourth identity is very subtle, because it is not directly related to you. It is how you experience life to be for you and what you expect others to be, called svānyakāra or Life Image. For example, you may feel—life is lonely, life is complicated or life is sacred or life is scary, or life and people are always showering me with everything! Please understand, this is also your identity, because it defines the exact experience you will be receiving from the people and situations from life

When you become a leader, you need to continuously maintain leadership consciousness. How to maintain leadership consciousness is though authentically authenticating authenticity.

Someone inauthentic is shouting at you even though you have done everything properly, you start feeling powerless. So the first thing you do is to do instant completion with any person or any situation even when you are right and others say you are wrong. Next what you do is to declare in front of the group to take the responsibility for the other person's inauthenticity and be a cause for it and start taking responsibility for it. This will make you a REAL LEADER

Only when you constantly retain your authenticity authentically, can you continue to remain in the consciousness of a leader, the space of a leader. Nature listens to you when you are in authenticity.

The awareness of your inauthenticity will itself bring you to your peak capability. Then, you will naturally drop all your lower level emotions and live what Kṛṣṇa calls as śraddhāvanto anasūyanto,

Authenticity without envy, becomes the space of possibility.

Authenticity empowers you. When you are powerless, feeling very agitated and uncomfortable, completely wash yourself with authenticity. By nature, a person with a body and mind has to act in one way or the other. If you follow your nature with authenticity, you can be comfortable and flow in tune with Existence. When you are relaxed, when you are blissful, you express yourself beautifully

Unless innocence happens intimacy cannot happen. Intimacy is the language of Existence. The mind doesn't know intimacy. Only the being knows it. With intimacy there is openness and you can say and do everything that you feel genuinely and earnestly about. There will be authenticity in your words and actions. You will radiate energy that spurs the others around you to be innocent and open. Then the real beauty of Existence can be experienced.

The biggest trap in life is using the inauthenticities of others to be inauthentic

Authenticity expands your wealth and possibilities. When you bring yourself to the peak of you, there is no wastage of inner powers. When you continuously raise yourself to your peak possibility, you will create a new body. Do not use others inauthenticity to make your inauthenticity. Life oozes into our system, into our body, into our mind as we respond to, approach, listen to , expect , and project our body and mind.

Bring yourself to your highest possibility just because you need to be in highest possibility, not for any other reason.

Inauthenticity makes postponing and procrastinating Lifestyle For You!

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