Integrity is not just ethics. It is your constitutional right and your first responsibility. It is not just your responsibility, it is your right. If you understand how much integrity adds to you, if you experience the powers given to you when you live in integrity, then you will realize that integrity is not just your responsibility, it is your right.

When you feel integrity is your responsibility, you are in the zone of practice, you are a seeker. When you understand integrity is your right, you are in the zone of enlightenment.

If everybody around you is integrated with you, if they are very transparent and speak only the truth as it is, your life will become heavenly. Everybody wants that life.

Whatever you create for others, only that will be created for you. When you start living integrity, you will become sensitive to all the confusion and suffering you had caused to others because of your lack of integrity. You will become alive to it. There are some things in life whose benefits you can understand only when you start living them. Before that, no words can explain its benefits to you.

When you bring integrity with others, you reclaim life itself. When you bring integrity with you, you reclaim consciousness and your soul. Whether it is with other human beings or with yourself, only when you bring integrity, does the relationship starts.

All the boons you want to receive can be received only when you maintain the bridge of integrity, not otherwise. When you declare your completion and integrity, all boons are showered on you. Consciousness happens to you, your soul happens to you and life happens to you.
