Again and again and again, align yourself to your declared best inner image, best inner image, best outer image, best others image, best life image. See how you can become more and more authentic to your best inner image, best inner image, best outer image, best others image, best life image. Understand: any doubt you have, any idea you have that you cannot achieve these four, is SDHD - self-doubt, self-hatred, self-denial.
Do not encourage SDHD in you. Let the external situation not create SDHD in you. Constantly completing with your SDHD and aligning yourself to your declared best identities - that is what I call 'Advaitic Activism'.
Advaitic Activism is my life. Advaitic Activism is my message. I expect Advaitic Activism to be your life, and Advaitic Activism is our collective life. Understand, you need self-drive to complete your SDHDs. No one can complete your SDHDs for you. That is the only thing even Guru cannot do for you. Everything else Guru can do, and only Guru can do. But completing with SDHD, even Guru cannot do, only you can do it to yourself. That is the freedom you have – to live or leave your SDHD. Just decide: living with SDHD feels good, or leaving the SDHD feels good?
Again and again and again, demand authenticity from yourself. I tell you: if you retain your self-driving inspiration, whether you are a grihastha or sannyasi doesn’t matter, you will become enlightened. If you lose your self-drive, whether you are a grihastha or a sannyasi, be very clear, you will be a failure. It is
SDHD that matters. If you complete with SDHD, you achieve it. If you are suffering with it, struggling with it, your life becomes hell. It is SDHD that decides whether your life is going to have the self-drive for enlightenment or not.
SDHD is like cow-dung. If it is dumped on a diamond, even the diamond will be covered; even the diamond will lose its shine if just ordinary cow-dung is dumped on it. But even if the cow-dung was on the diamond for a thousand years, the moment you wash off the cow-dung, the diamond will again shine in its original glory. Same way, even if you have been suffering and struggling with SDHD for a million years, if you just wash off the SDHD now, your inner glory will shine again.
Come to the space of Advaitic Activism. The more and more you align yourself to your declared best inner image, best inner image, best outer image, best others image, best life image, the more and more you tune yourself to that, the more and more you become authentic. The more and more you become authentic, the more and more you live enlightenment, you live Advaita.
