Integrity and Authenticity are the ways in which you relate with the unexpressed, avyakta part of God. Responsibility and Enriching are the ways in which you relate with vyakta, the expressed part of God.
When we perform a sacrifice, we perform certain invocations to the higher energies. So, we attract corresponding effects for our actions. Our actions are like offerings in a sacrifice. When the actions are in tune with tattvas of integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching which is the flow of Existence, it is like offering ghee (clarified butter) into the fire.
When we do not flow in tune with
Existence, it is like offering
mud into the fire.
You know the kind of smoke which
comes out of the fire when you offer
ghee and the kind of smoke that
comes out when you offer mud.
Just like how you can determine the
quality of the offering you gave to
the fire from the quality of the
smoke, the result of your actions can
be determined from the quality of
your actions. The quality of the end
result is based on our input, our
offerings, our enriching.
IF YOU DO NOT ENRICH, YOU ACTIVELY
CREATE A SELFISH PATTERN AND YOUR
OFFERINGS BRING THAT SAME RESULT. BE
VERY CLEAR, EITHER YOU GIVE OR YOU
SWINDLE. THERE IS NO MIDDLE.
Some goal is always put in front of you. The so-called goals in material life or spiritual life continuously make you feel you are not good enough.
Kṛṣṇa says that rains become possible from the enriching sacrifice, yajñād bhavati parjanyo and the enriching sacrifice is born of actions, yajñaḥ karma-samudbhavaḥ
(3.14).
If we just understand this, we will realize that everything that we do and experience is caused by our own actions. We realize that we are the source of everything, and therefore responsible for everything that is happening. We invite our destiny. As we sow, so shall we reap.
Enriching is sowing the seed for the fruit to happen.
Integrity is the root,
authenticity is the tree,
responsibility is the fruit,
enriching is sharing the fruit
to create more fruits. Every
person who eats the fruit is
responsible for sowing the
seed for more fruits to
happen.
Weather is strongly influenced by earth resonance frequencies, and the same frequencies are also produced in our brains. When many people take the responsibility to bring integrity and authenticity to their thinking and actions, the individual consciousness aligns and expands to affect the collective consciousness.
So we can actually even influence the weather by our thoughts. This is what Kṛṣṇa means when He says that rains are caused by sacrifice and enriching sacrifice is born of actions. It is an ultimate statement that proves the power of enriching, the power of living.
When a large number of
people collectively
integrate their thoughts
and align their actions to
enrich others with no
expectations and with full
faith in the abundance of
the Universe, the Universe
responds. Rain falls, grains
grow, and abundance
results.
It has actually been revealed by
various studies that when a
number of people integrate their
thoughts with something similar,
like during celebrations or a
football world championship,
then certain random number
generators in computers start to
deliver ordered numbers instead
of random ones! Also understand,
all so-called natural calamities are
nothing but the effects of global
collective negative thoughts.
The Universe is a huge wave of 'Tathāstu!—so be it!' So everything is as you create, as you organize, as you arrange! Put a little intelligence, time and energy into creating the right space in you. If you carry the space of many births, you will have many births! If you carry the space of a soul, you will have a soul! If you carry the space of no-soul, you will NOT have a soul!
Every action has a cause and an
effect. Using the same principle, you
can actually create the desired effect
by just causing its visualization in
your inner space.
For example, when you meditate, if
you visualize you are bliss, bliss is
bound to happen in and around you
as an effect. It would seem that the
cause has created the effect. But in
life, cause and effect are actually a
cycle, each generating and being
generated by the other
Anything that has not made its effect completely in you is cause. Anything caused which has made its completion in you is effect. Anything which has not caused its complete effect in you is cause. This is the endless cycle Kṛṣṇa refers to when He says that work originates with the Creator, who in turn originates from the Supreme Existence, and therefore all sacrifices are from the Supreme to the Supreme
Live the tattvas intensely! Bring them into your life layer by layer. Your body will listen to you. Your mind will listen to you. The world will listen to you. The Universe will listen to you. Humanity will listen to you. You will enrich the Universe and the Universe will enrich you.
If you are sensitive enough to
understand life and the facts,
and the truth, the Cosmos
does not teach you in a very
hard way; it teaches you in a
mild way. If you can change
your inner space from this
incomplete space to the
space of completion, the
space of bliss, Ānanda, then
the energy flow in your inner
space will start brimming and
your thoughts will become
declarations of integrity,
which is like multiplying all
your past negativity by zero.
Then you will be complete in
the present moment.
When you do this, you have power to control external incidents because you and Existence have a very deep connection at the energy level. This is the thread you need to catch in order to understand that bliss attracts fortune. When you are blissful, when your inner space is not one of worry, fear and greed patterns but one that is in the space of completion in the present, you will automatically attract the best of things.
When you throw a pebble into a lake, ripples start from that point to the edge of the lake. Similarly, your thoughts have a permanent effect on the Universe. Imagine if the lake were infinite light. Ripples with a continuous effect would be created, even though the magnitude of each ripple would be different
If you are rich, be the
ground on which the
seed can be sown. If not,
at least pour water for
the seed to become a
tree. If not, at least be a
gardener to weed out
the unnecessary things
for the seed to become
fruit again. Either offer
your time, talent, or
treasure. If you have
eaten the fruit, it is your
responsibility to make
the seed again into a
fruit. After eating the
fruit, be responsible to
sow the seed and make
sure the seed again
brings more fruits for
more people to enjoy.
Our body-mind is highly
influenced by our thoughts and
words. The words you constantly
repeat to yourself, have to be
enriching you, inspiring you,
exciting you and enlightening
you. The words you give to you
are āhara (food), what you
consume to create life in you
GOALS:
Help children understand that
enriching is sowing the seed for
the fruit to happen. Integrity is
the root, authenticity is the tree,
responsibility is the fruit,
enriching is sharing the fruit to
create more fruits. Every person
who eats the fruit is responsible
for sowing the seed for more
fruits to happen.

WORKSHOP OF THE DAY
WORKSHOP OF THE DAY:
VAAKYARTHA SADHAS
Procedure
A group will sit together and discuss about the unsaid words, about the irritation they carry inside which they never express outside. For example: The child may express that the teacher did not teach them properly or that their mother does not cook tasty food for them. They have to share what is the vested interest and what is the loss they experience. Vested interest – In the above example, the child does not want to do homework so they say the teacher did not teach properly. The vested interest in the second example is that the child wants to eat outside of home.
The loss is that they are inauthentic
when they express that their
teacher did not teach properly. The
loss is they become inauthentic
with themselves.
INFERENCE
Let the world not create words in
you and let your words create the
world around you. They have to sit
and complete with all the unsaid
words
CONCLUSION:
Integrity is the root, authenticity
is the tree, responsibility is the
fruit, enriching is sharing the fruit
to create more fruits. Every
person who eats the fruit is
responsible for sowing the seed
for more fruits to happen. The
Universe is a huge wave of
‘Tathāstu!—so be it!’
So everything is as you create, as
you organize, as you arrange!
When you are blissful, when your
inner space is not one of worry,
fear and greed patterns but one
that is in the space of completion
in the present, you will
automatically attract the best of
things
