Whether you understand or not, experience or not, believe or not, you are nothing but " word"! you create inside you about you, about the world, about everything. The word you create inside you about you, about others, about everything, you are just that, the word is not just the word as you think. It is the power which can change your reality!
Wh Y I S I T S O I M P O Rt A N T T O H O N O R Y O U R Wo R D S ?
Whether you realize it or not, your life is built on your words and commitments. The words you give to yourself and others form the structure on which your life-building is built! If your life can be compared to a building, the words you give to yourself and others is like the foundation of this building. It has to be free from dust and rust, which means that it has to be free from unconscious patterns. The unconscious words you give to yourself and others is the dust and rust on your building. The building built upon a rusty, dusty structure cannot last long! It has to be made of pure, authentic, strong steel. In the same way,
You Can Unlock Your Power Of Words
When you bring complete integrity into your thinking,, the words you utter to yourself and to others will be experienced as your very life. That is the power of words.
Integrity forms the basis for your life. Integrity is part of your very life energy. It is the energy on which you and the whole cosmos run!
What Do You Mean By Integrity?
Integrity is the first sacred principle of life. Integrity is the principle on which the cosmos runs! The sun rising every morning without missing a day is integrity. Your heart beating continuously without missing a beat is integrity.
By nature, God built you with integrity. Your inherent nature is integrity. That is why, whenever you are not in integrity, you feel so uncomfortable and incomplete. Your inbuilt innate nature is expressing this great inner power. That is why you feel so fulfilled whenever you are in integrity
Integrity exist in our very DNA. A seed becomes a tree or man realizes his potential only when this principle is also lived. The ultimate knowledge can be reached only through integrity
Integrity – The Power Of Words
Integrity is the foundation on which our lives are built. Our words create our destiny; they are the life force that fuels us. When we make commitments to ourselves and to others, keeping those promises is not just an option, but a necessity for our lives. The Power of Words will be available to you when you practice Integrity.
How Does Integrity Help With Failure?
Not having the load of the past is integrity. The concept of failure is founded on our edited past memories. Completing with the past clears our destiny for a clean future in which we understand that everything is possible. Without integrity there is no workability. With integrity anything is possible.
Anything you want is possible. With integrity we will always have the positive attitude that everything is possible. Your inbuilt innate nature is integrity. There is no such thing as impossibility.
The Solution To All Your Problems!
Every school teacher who suffers with a lack of integrity and makes negative commitments himself transmits the same thing to all his students. Anything multiplied by zero is zero. In the same way, even if your life has had any negative prophecies and negative commitments, just put 'X' integrity – multiplied by integrity, from now. It will become equivalent to integrity
Integrity Gives Life To Action
There is only one difference between technique and ritual. When it is done with integrity even an ordinary ritual becomes a great meditation t e c h n i q u e t h a t l e a d s y o u t o Enlightenment. When it is done without any integrity, as a routine, then even a meditation technique becomes a ritual.
Why Should You Practice Integrity?
-
- Bring integrity into every step! Nothing else is going to help you. There is no shortcut; this is the shortest cut! Complete and create the space of integrity; this has no replacement. Whether you live a spiritual life or a regular life, integrity forms the basis for life!
-
- Establish yourself in integrity, you will see that your being suddenly cognizes a new life, a new reality.
-
- Just like the swan which can separate the water from the milk in a mixture of milk and water, the brain established in integrity can separate truth from untruth.
-
- Only you are responsible for your life. When you iron out your inner space with integrity, the first thing that integrity will do to you is remove all the negative weeds that you constantly cherish, which are rooted in your past. Did you know you can control your senses?
Controlling the senses requires controlling the mind. Controlling the mind requires control of thoughts. Controlling the thoughts requires integrity. When we continuously live integrity, we will become awa re of the thoughts and proc e ss e s happening in our inner space.
constantly listening to our own inner space is the beginning of integrity. If our inner space says that there is nothing more to listen, if only silence is there, then that is the end of integrity. We have achieved integrity. When we start listening to our inner space, we start integrity and when we listen to only silence from our inner space, we have achieved integrity. As long as we are hearing something from our inner space, it is lack of integrity
If You Are In Integrity?
Whenever you fail in integrity and you are in a low mood, your mind will say that you never lived with integrity. Whenever you fail in integrity and you are in a low mood, your mind will say that you never lived with integrity. How to know
Your mind will show as if your whole life was inauthentic, irresponsible and lacking in integrity. But when you restore integrity through completion and you become authentic, suddenly your mind will show that your life wa s a l o n g a n d si n c e r e p a t h t owa r d s authenticity and responsibility.
Let integrity become the very air which you breath because it is part of your life. Integrity is the foundation on which our lives are built. Our words create our destiny; they are the life force that fuels us. When we make commitments to ourselves and to others, keeping those promises is not just an option, but a necessity for our lives.
Living on your word means living without your mind. If you want to switch off your mind, you have to live with integrity. Punctuality is not integrity: it is the side effect of integrity. Integrity is living in a space of conscious thinking. Integrity is being in conscious thinking and living it.
Introduction
The whole life starts with listening. When you are completely drowned inside your past, when your past is sitting on you like a dead weight, you will never be able to listen. The dead past never lets you listen. The past by its very nature does not have life and if you try to continuously indulge in the past, it repeats itself in the future.
Whether you like it or not, want it or not, by the very way in which you are hardwired, you will hold only yourself as responsible f o r y o u r l i f e . N o b o d y e ls e c a n b e responsible.
Only you are responsible for your life. When you iron out your inner space with integrity, the first thing that integrity will do to you is remove all the negative weeds that you constantly cherish, which are rooted in your past. Negativity needs the past as support to survive. Negativity is not based in the future but only in the past.
When you become integrated with your thinking, your past has no more power over your future or over your inner space.
When you become integrated, the first thing you will understand is that your past failures are not failures. Your failures do not make you a failure. It is not the failure itself that is the problem, but the number of times you remember your failure that is the real problem.
Life is just moving. But your photographic memory and you holding on to those memories is where the problem starts. The more your past occupies your inner space, the more you will not have integrity.
Make children understand that life starts with listening. GOALS
Assessment
- When will we not be able to listen? Does the past have life? Who is responsible for your life? Can negativity be based in the future? What happens when you are integrated? What is the real problem with failure? When do problems start?
Materials Needed:
Straws
Pencil
Plain sheet
Various Colours Of Paints
Procedure:
Each child is given a straw and they are asked to blow the paint using the straw on the plain sheet. The children are asked to observe the flow of paint when they blow.
Minference:
Connect children to how the movement of air through the straw creates the painting, similarly life is just moving but holding on to past memories is where negativity starts.

Inference:
Explain to the children that life starts from listening. When you are completely drowned inside your past and when your past is sitting in you as a dead weight, you will never be able to listen.
