IS THE PRACTICE

OF AUTHENTICITY HARD?

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.

HOW TO PRACTICE AUTHENTICITY?

Develop Listening To Master

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.

HOW TO PRACTICE AUTHENTICITY?

Develop Listening To Master Authenticity

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.

HOW TO PRACTICE AUTHENTICITY?

Authentically authenticating authenticity

means again and again saying no to the

mind which says “it is okay”. When you

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.

HOW DOES BEING

AUTHENTIC HELP YOU?

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.

ALIGN YOUR THINKING THROUGH
AUTHENTICITY AND THE FOUR
TATTVAS

What is right thinking?

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

ALIGN YOUR THINKING TO AUTHENTICITY

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

EXPERIENCE AUTHENTICITY THROUGH THE FOUR IDENTITIES

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.

WHAT IS MAMAKARA

INNER IMAGE?

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
ahamkāra or Outer Image.
Unfortunately, what you
project is always far more
than what you believe
yourself to be.

WHAT IS ANYAKARA

OTHERS IMAGE?

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!

WHAT iS

SVANYAKARA - LiFE iMAGE?

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

You will radiate energy that spurs the others around you to be innocent and open. Then the real beauty of Existence can be experienced.
