Kṛṣṇa begins revealing the truth of authenticity, the strategy of life, the strategy that will make Arjuna succeed and expand!
What is Authenticity?
Authenticity is you being established in the peak of your energy, the peak of your capability, and responding to life from who you perceive yourself to be for you and who you project yourself to be for others, and what others expect you to be for them.
Kṛṣṇa gives the ultimate winning strategy of life to Arjuna—to stand up with the courage of authenticity in all his actions, yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam. Arjuna can complete his root pattern of fear, only when he raises and expands himself fighting as a kṣatriya warrior.
Only then Arjuna will be authentic. Listen. Life is expansion. Life is expansion. When you feel, ‘Wow, I am going to expand, expand, expand! Authenticity is the best principle,’ then understand, you are entering into akśardhām— eternal life!
Break the pattern of—‘am I never going to rest or what?’ Why do you need rest? Increasing the speed of running is rest. Make it into flying! That is rest. You see, when you drive or run on the road, there is friction. If you want bliss, joy, peace, don’t reduce the speed of life; reduce the friction. Just take off!
"POWER OF AUTHENTICITY!
I TELL YOU, MY STRATEGY FOR
LIFE IS: EVERYTHING SHOULD
ONLY BE FROM AUTHENTICITY."
- THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM
Kṛṣṇa adds, 'When you are centered in wisdom of completion you will no longer be deluded by what you hear. When you are no longer deluded by what you have heard, you are liberated.
Kṛṣṇa says, 'Don't be inactive, do what you need to do. Do it with no expectations and no attachment to results. Do it with a centered mind, and in wisdom of your own inner calling, and not because of something you have heard. You will then go beyond all suffering and be liberated.'
These steps are so simple that everyone can practice them; in fact everyone should practice them. Stay fully in the space of completion, and based on the truth of integrity and authenticity, act. You can never go wrong.
Listen. With integrity you experience the space of positivity. With authenticity you experience the space of possibility. Only a man who lives authenticity is a liberated one, a yogi, the one devoted to authenticity in action. Only when you surrender yourself to practice integrity in thinking and authenticity in action— yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam, you will realize that you are responsible for success and fail-ure, for good or bad, for everything you experience. You drop your attachments and your fear patterns, and experience self-realization.
