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

WORKSHOP OF THE THE DAY

WORKSHOP OF THE DAY

Explanation Of The Workshop: Ask each child to write when all they see sad, bad and moody characters in others. For example when my friend fights with somebody then bad comes in. When I hit others, I am bad, the person I hit becomes sad. Similarly when you make the sad child happy your sad part disappears. Others reflection of sad, bad and moody are all only your projection on them. When you cause others reality, then your sad, bad and moody character disappears. Inference: 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 and your being. Fulfilling others makes you powerful.

Conclusion: Fulfilling others makes you powerful.
