How many people are living inside you?

Listen: when you are not integrated, you are like a bunch of people living inside one body!

Sometimes, I have seen ten people or personalities living in one body! And each of your personalities is running its own show inside your body. Imagine the chaos and confusion!

When a group of personalities live in one body, the problem is that all of them need to share your body! So one person owns your hand, another person owns your brain, another person owns your heart. So all of them are incomplete, as no one owns the whole! Tell me, if twenty incomplete people are put together, can they do the work of one complete, integrated person? No - because only one person owns the brain!

When you align yourself to integrity by practicing Swapoornatva Kriya and completion, you suddenly become one being. You become integrated, whole, complete.

When you integrate YOU, you can just declare whatever you want to achieve and do it. You will see - when you experience integrity inside you, the whole word co-operates with you. When you maintain integrity with others, others' confidence in you increases.

When you maintain integrity with yourself, your confidence in you increases. When you have confidence in you, you will realize that you are the ultimate doer, the causer of reality!

Write down five painful childhood memories that impacted your life. Sit and talk out these incidents in front of a mirror or with a person who was part of that incident. Relive and Relieve.

Your first cosmic right and responsibility

Integrity is not just ethics - it is your constitutional right and your first responsibility!

In any constitution, you have some rights and some responsibilities. Here, integrity is your right and your responsibility! If you understand how much integrity adds to you, if you understand the powers given to you by integrity and how much you will achieve through integrity, then you will understand that it is not just your responsibility - it is your right!

When you understand that integrity is your responsibility, you are in the zone of practicing – as a seeker. When you understand that integrity is your right, you are in the zone of enlightenment! Whatever you want to achieve, you can simply declare it to yourself and do it.

Integrity is not just your responsibility - it is also your right. Himself to one person and not to the other - because He reveals Himself in Space, not in Place!

Activity

Make a list of 5 significant issues the world is facing today, like tsunamis, corruption and so on.

Identify how you have been responsible for causing each of them. You will understand what a powerful role you play in the world! thought of lust is enough to excite you. Just one thought of your enemy can bring up anger in you. The same way, just one thought of completion can purify your inner space! One thought of completion is enough to transform your space.

But somehow, we don't believe the last statement! You say, 'No no. You are an enlightened being. It is easy for you, not for us.' Whenever you are cornered into transformation, you use this excuse to run away. Many people use devotion to escape my teaching! Understand: even devotion has to be for the right reason! It has to be for the purpose of raising yourself to my space.

Your inner space is nothing but the words you repeat again and again inside you. Now decide consciously that you will repeat the right words. Your inner space is such a subtle thing - one right declaration is enough, and you are free. One completion is enough, and you are out of conflict. You are out of the low mood you are carrying. You are out of the deep negative cognition you are carrying.

••• Practice •••

For the next few days, consciously repeat the words that you wish to carry inside you. Keep reminding yourself throughout the day. If you feel sadness coming back, be aware, and replace it with joy. Do this till you experience a lasting change in the quality of your inner space.

A small story:

Once a disciple and his guru were walking near a river. The disciple fell into the river and started shouting in fear, 'Master, please save me! I don't know how to swim! Save me! Save me!'

The Master said, 'Save yourself.'

The disciple panicked and screamed - 'No! No! No! The water is up to my head. I don't know how to swim. I'll drown if you don't help me now! Please save me, Master!'

The Master again calmly instructed the disciple, 'Save yourself!'

The disciple flopped around in the water, screaming and crying, while the Master stood on the bank waiting for him.

Finally the Master shouted at the disciple: 'FOOL! JUST STAND UP!'

The disciple was so startled by the Master's voice that he immediately stood up - and realized that the water was only waist-deep!

I tell you, all your problems are just like this. It is just your decision to stand up in your inner space. The fears you are carrying look so real to you. You are afraid of your fears! The negative commitments that you have cultivated in your inner space are like the river that only comes up to your waist!

Instead of following the master's words, you offer, 'I will listen to you, I will worship you also, but I cannot stand up! I am too weak, too ignorant, too stupid!' You believe that you are powerless, and so

Your inner space can change the world

You always feel powerless in front of your patterns, because you have never known the immense power of your inner space.

If you trust your inner space with the same intensity that you trust the power of your patterns, you will see miracles happening in your life!

Start with small things that will build your courage in yourself. Today, just tell yourself, ‘I am declaring and creating the right space for my spouse to listen to me. I am creating the space for my boss to be happy with me.’ Try it. If you try ten times, at least eight times you will see miracles happening. Only then you will understand the power of your inner space.

Only a banyan tree seed can become a banyan tree. Don’t plant a mango seed and expect a banyan tree to grow from it! Carry the right seed, the right space, where all the root thought patterns are destroyed, where your inner space is prepared for experiencing the space of positivity and possibility.

If instead you have the attitude of failure, ‘I will go with this space,

Your cognition creates your muscle memory

Listen: every action that you perform, based on a certain cognition, is going to add a certain layer of muscle -memory in you. Even if you want to move out of that cognition later, the muscle memory will not allow you to move out. That is why you always struggle when you want to change your lifelong cognition.

For example, if you have lived your whole life with the cognition that there is no rebirth after death, even if you come to know later that rebirth happens after death, you will not be able to accept it. You will keep the old cognition alive in some part of your mind, and you will be stuck in that conflict.

Or suppose you live fifty years of your life supporting a certain principle like atheism, and in your old age you realize that it is not right, it is not the truth. But you know that your whole life has been you built on that theory - your social relationships, your actions, your personality - you have invested too much in this belief. So, even when you know, you will try to keep a certain ambiguity alive.

Listen: your beliefs form a deep layer in you. If you retain confusion and ambiguity as your belief, that becomes independently alive in

When you are about to perform an action, stop for a few seconds and think about the intention of your action. Is it coming from the correct cognizance? If not, change the cognizance.

For example, if you practice yoga, then set an intention for your practice, such as health or bliss. As you practice yoga, keep reminding yourself of your intention. That is all - you will see that intention will manifest itself into reality.

Listen: I am creating a deva bhaasha in English - the world’s largest spoken language! When you learn and live these tattvas as satyas, your conscious cognizance becomes a new language, and the new language happens, expresses and radiates through you. How many of you feel the new language is actually happening in you? How many of you have become very conscious and aware in your thinking? It will evolve, it will evolve! It will evolve.

Each master created his own dialect of deva bhaasha. We will call the deva bhaasha we create though our conscious cognizance ‘eN-glish!’ The hyphen is a gap - which is consciousness. Just give the gap of consciousness to English, and it becomes eN-glish! eN-glish will be the name of our deva bhaasha, the language of conscious cognizance. You can now catch any master’s language, because conscious cognizance happens in the same frequency for all masters.

The language you use very strongly impacts the consciousness you have! A man cannot be continuously saying, ‘God will take care of me, God will take care of me’, and not believe it in one corner of his heart! It is not possible. When you live in conscious cognizance and communicate this conscious cognizance, the language which happens is deva bhaasha.

Contemplation

When you think and speak with integrity and authenticity, the language you speak is deva bhaasha – the language of the gods!

Mystical powers need integrity

Bring integrity into your thinking, and you will see so many extraordinary powers expressing through you.

When you continuously live in integrity, your bio-memory becomes so subtle that it stops asking for food from outside and starts absorbing food directly from space! Anyone who has practised the nirahara samyama (technique for going beyond the need for food) would have experienced this. If you have done this samyama and failed, know that you are not in integrity.

When you bring integrity into your thinking, you do not waste energy in your inner space, and your bio-memory stops asking for matter and food from an external source.

Apart from these two, there is a third identity you carry, which is the image or expectations that others have about you.

This is called ANYAKARA or others’ image.

How others perceive you may be different from how you project yourself to them, because people create their opinion about you from the subtle signals you give them, rather than what you openly project. Human beings are intelligent enough to catch even what you don’t say - or especially what you don’t say!

The fourth identity is very subtle, because it is not directly related to you.

It is called SVA-ANYAKARA or life image.

Sva-anyakara is what you experience life to be for you. For example, you may feel – Life is lonely, or Life is complicated, or Life is sacred, or Life is scary, or Life is always showering me with everything I need. Please understand, this is also your identity, because it defines the exact experience you will be receiving from the people and situations in your life!

You don't have just one identity, as you imagine. You have four identities!
