Next is Responsibility. That is the third principle.
A very important thing you need to know: all of us behave responsibly where it matters for us. or where we think it matters for us. If you want to become powerful in the field of money, so you take responsibility for that. You want to become powerful in the family, so you take responsibility for that. You want to become powerful in your career, so you take responsibility for that.
Don’t take Responsibility because you WANT to be powerful. Take Responsibility because you ARE powerful! Take Responsibility because you ARE the Source. Then Responsibility will make you Jeevanmukta, living enlightenment. If you take Responsibility because you want to be powerful, it will always be a load. You will only plan cunning methods: ‘How I can become more powerful with less Responsibility?’ Don’t try to take Responsibility to become powerful. Take Responsibility because you ARE powerful. Because you ARE the Source, you are responsible. Because you ARE the Source, decide to become responsible. Take Responsibility because you are powerful.
We all take Responsibility in the life, but with the smaller reasons and smaller context. You can do Yoga with smaller reasons and a smaller context, maybe just to have flexibility, or to get out of your back pain. Or you can do the same Yoga, with the context of falling in tune with the Cosmos, the Brahmanda. In whatever context you do it, you reap that result.
Once you start taking Responsibility because you are already powerful, once you start trusting, once you start feeling connected with this truth - you will feel connected with this truth when you do completion - when you are complete you will simply know that you ARE the Source of the Cosmos. When you start cognizing that you ARE the Source, then Responsibility will look like a strength for you, a power for you, not a load.
Whoever feels that Responsibility is a load, he is going to come back, again and again in the human body. Whoever feels that Responsibility is a power, he will be a Jeevanmukta even if he has a body. Even while living, he will be Jeevanmukta. This is the most simple method to be a Jeevanmukta; just a cognitive shift.
Whether you believe or not, understand or not, realize or not, you ARE the Source of the Cosmos. You ARE the Source for your life and the Cosmos' life. You ARE the Source for your existence and the existence of the Cosmos. When you remember you ARE the Source and start taking Responsibility, every time you take Responsibility, you will feel powerful.
