Life Means Standing Up Again

What I am saying is a very important thing.

Your life is also a tradition. You may or may not know, but your whole life, you either depend on your intellect or on your emotion. You may not be remembering Krishna, but you may be remembering some other leader, you may be remembering some other person whom you think of as ideal. But, I tell you, devotion, bhakti, Leela Dhyana is such a powerful space creator!

Life is nothing but the ability to stand up again and again and face it, no matter in how many ways doubt and depressions attack you. Doubts and depression are so powerful, they attack you from all corners. Life is nothing but the strength to stand up during all these attacks.

I sincerely tell you, do not believe or just depend on your intellectual clarity about Completion to save you and keep you in the space of Completion, and take you to the ultimate space, continuously creating the right space for you again and again and again. If you think, 'I am complete, with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching, I am creating this space. This has to happen!' Great! But there will always be some corner, somewhere, in some remote corner of your life, if you have some lack of Integrity or Authenticity, and if that reflects in your results, please understand, you will lose faith in yourself completely, and the philosophy with which you are living will collapse and tumble down! I tell you, standing up again will be so difficult. Even when you stand up, you will have so much of self-doubt. Achieving Completion and creating the right space out of devotion will again and again make you stand up, will give you the strength to stand up without collapsing. Even if you fall, you won't collapse. Only with intellect, by intellectually understanding Completion, Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching, when you fall you will collapse. But if you understand with emotion, please listen, with emotion, with Leela Dhyana, with devotion, if you understand, even if you fall you won't collapse. When you create the space along with the feeling connection, emotion, devotion, towards the higher consciousness, I guarantee that failure will simply disappear from your system - because Krishna is not a story, Sundareshwara is not a story, Meenakshi is not a story. I can't even say it has happened. I only can say it is happening whenever you remember them. They are not pastimes; are present-times, which are happening whenever you remember them.
