Visualization leads to creation

Verbalization is the cosmic feminine energy known as naada. Visualization is the cosmic masculine energy known as bindu. When they both meet, creativity happens - kalaa, the creation of the cosmos.
The science of creating requires visualization. If your inner space is overcrowded with verbalization, how can you visualize anything? You can't! There is no space for the visualization of what you want to happen in you. Only if you are continuously completing with yourself and with others, retaining the space of integrity, will you have proper visualization.
The energy of your mooladhara, your root chakra, is the raw material out of which you carve your life. If it is a pot of molten gold, you will be able to make a golden deity out of your life!

Integrity has the power to awaken your visualization and make whatever you want into reality!
Integrity makes you a super-achiever
If you have Integrity, every word the Master gives you will just become reality in your life! Even the instructions I have not directly given to you, but which exist in my visualization, will be realized in your visualization!
I have some disciples who know exactly what to do in a given situation, and they take responsibility to do it without ever being asked or guided. They simply pick up on the energy which I am radiating. And there are others - no matter how many times I give them instructions, it doesn’t happen! They may have many reasons, but in the end, it is the burden of unfulfilled verbalization and incompletions in their inner space that doesn’t allow them to visualize and follow through with the instructions.
So bring yourself to a high level of integrity through completion with yourself and others. You will become an amazing high-achiever in your work, in your relationships and in your life.

All your negativity is rooted in the past
The first thing integrity will do is remove all the weeds rooted in your past failures that you are constantly cherishing. As I said earlier, when you become aware of your inner chatter, you will see so many negative tracks playing inside you: 'I'm a loser.' 'I can't get things right.' 'I'm so stressed.' 'I can't fulfil all my responsibilities.' 'Something is wrong with me.' 'I'm not good enough.' 'I can't have what I want.' 'Everybody hated me.' These are just a few examples of the negative tracks that constantly play as the background music of your thoughts. They all have their source in your past.
Negativity needs some past evidence as a support for it to survive. Remembering the past with a negative, limiting story creates negative weeds. Please be very clear: negativity cannot be based in the future. Negativity can be rooted only in the past! The events of the past are the seeds for negative weeds to grow. So when the weeding happens through integrity - by keeping your word with yourself and others and completing with your past, you and your future are free from the past.
Listen! All your negative thinking, your fears, your anxieties - everything is rooted in the past. If you look a little deeply into
Stop your negative self-fulfilling prophecies!
How does negativity take root in you?
Listen: any negativity can only become strong in you if you constantly remember your past experiences through the filter of failure. They become your thinking habits. Negativity cannot grow in your inner space, cannot have power over your inner space, cannot have strength in your inner space, if your past memories are not continuously supplied as evidence.
It is through your unconscious commitment to your thinking habits and behaviours that you keep the negativity alive in your system. Again and again you supply your thinking with negativity as evidence of your limited story of you and your possibility. You create a small life and look around at all the ‘proof’ that exists to support the negative beliefs you carry about yourself.
For example, let’s say you have the negative thought pattern, ‘I’m not good enough’. You continuously support that belief by judging yourself by what you haven’t accomplished; what is missing and what has yet to be done. You have a long ‘To Do’ list, which is a burden to you; you spend more time worrying about it then actually
Drop your past failures
Every moment, the load of your past does not allow you to progress in the future. The load of your past is like a huge iron ball chained to your leg! How long can you drag it and expect to move forward?
Listen: you are capable of taking responsibility only for your future. You cannot do anything with your past! When you practice integrity, you will not allow your past to come and interfere with your present moment. What I am sharing is the most practical principle of life.
Negativity has its roots only in your past. Most of the time you are caught in fear, jealousy, anger, lust , without even being aware. When you start practicing integrity with integrity, you will be aware of every thought you are having.
Contemplation
If you don't remember your past again and again and again, the first thing that will happen is that you will be free from your past, and your inner space will be available for your future responsibility and responsible future.
Positive thinking is always negative
I have received a question: Swamiji, can you please clarify the difference between complete cognition and the so-called positive thinking?
Listen: the so-called positive thinking is always positive/negative thinking! Usually your thinking is negative/positive thinking. In positive thinking, you shift to positive/negative thinking, that's all!
Your ordinary thinking is usually negative, because you rarely think positively. Positive thinking is like consciously trying to be positive, but falling into negative, then again starting with positive and falling into negative, and so on.
Positive thinking is just fighting with the negativity. It can never heal the negativity. Only complete cognition will heal the negativity. The deep wound, where you start believing that negativity is going to be your permanent lifestyle, can be healed only in complete cognition. Positive thinking cannot heal your strong belief that failure is always going to be part of your life. Only with complete cognition, you can have the totally positive experience. Complete cognition is poornatva or completion.
Your only enemy
Many times, people come and tell me, 'I am not able to get out of my fear.'
Please listen: why you are not able to get out? Because you already committed with that negativity many times! For example, you tell yourself again and again, 'I am going to be destroyed. I am going to be destroyed. This is the way it is going to happen. I am going to be a loser, loser, loser.' It means that one hundred times you have committed to yourself you are going to be a loser. Then, naturally, your whole energy will work only to fulfil that concept - the commitment you gave to yourself that you are a loser.
After repeating this to yourself a hundred times, if you once decide to say, 'I am a winner', that will look too silly even to you! You yourself won't believe it. Making a positive affirmation a few times will not be enough to compensate for the hundreds of times that you declared that you are a loser. You don't even really believe it, because the past incompletions are still alive in you. It is only for the sake of argument that you say, 'I am a winner.'
Sometimes, when you have an argument with your spouse, you
## Plan for success, not failure
Many times, you plan for failure because you want to be 'prepared' whenever it actually happens!
Drop that planning!
Your mind may say, 'If I suddenly fail, what to do? At least if I think it through beforehand, I will be ready for failure.'
There is no such thing as 'being prepared for failure', because failure will always come from some unexpected zone! Use your logic. If you prepare and prevent your failure, then how can it happen? It can only come from some unexpected angle; something you didn't consider or were not able to plan for. So your precaution and preparation cannot protect you. It is not going to help you in any way.
First, because of wanting to be well-prepared for failure, you visualize that situation so strongly in your mind that you actually create a possibility for it. And thinking that you won't be able to handle failure if it comes by surprise is one more negative commitment you give to yourself!
You are facing it everyday
What is the biggest fear of all human beings?
Death!
Understand: even your biggest fear - death - is going to come suddenly and you are going to face it!
Everything you consider as a failure is going to come only suddenly, and you are going to face it. There are millions of times when what you call failure came to you suddenly and you faced it. Draw courage from that! See the strength in you and support that.
Once you drop the negative commitments you gave to yourself, you cannot justify your planning for failure. You cannot justify your negative plans in any form, in any way. So, drop fantasizing about failures! Drop visualizing about failures. When you do, integrity will simply flower in you.
The burdens from the past are the roots of the tree of failure. The negative commitments and negative self-image are the leaves and branches. Weed them out with integrity. You will start experiencing the space of Positivity. But there is a way to cancel out all this negativity in a single stroke!
If you multiply any mathematical equation by zero, what do you get?
Zero!
However big and complicated the equation may be, the moment you say ‘x 0’ (multiplied by zero) at the end, the whole equation is reduced to zero.
Similarly, integrity is the ‘zero’ that can cancel out the equation of all your multiplied negativities.
Even if your life has been any number of negative prophecies and negative commitments till now, just put ‘x integrity’ (multiplied by integrity) at the end of your life equation from now onwards; the whole thing is reduced to zero!
But some people say, ‘No, no, Swamiji! You don’t know the complications I created in my life! A+B-CxA²/C²xB-Q/ABCDE = what?? My life is that complicated! You don’t know!’
No! It doesn’t matter. Whatever the equation, if you just put ‘x 0’, at the end, the whole thing is zero! Similarly, no matter what negativity, lack of integrity, negative commitments, self-fulfilling negative prophecies you have created in your mind in the past, just say ‘x Integrity’ from now onwards! Over! The whole thing becomes equivalent to positivity and integrity.
Just declare it and start living! This is a foolproof solution.
You are struggling with three realities
When you are not living in integrity, there will be a conflict between the three realities you are living with - the reality you want, the reality you need, and the ultimate Reality.
When you don't have integrity, your idea of what is the best life will be continuously changing, because you are aware of neither what you want nor what you need in life. Whatever you see or experience around you, you will pick up some ideas from that and create your idea of the ultimate life. So you will have a certain idea of the ultimate life in the morning, a different idea in the evening, and a totally different idea the next day! And none of these ideas will be in tune with what you really need to progress in your life. So you will be pushing and pulling and struggling with these diverse realities.
Listen: any struggle is a defeat for all parties involved in the struggle. Any reconciliation is a win for all parties involved in the reconciliation. If there is a struggle between you and you, all your desires are doomed for failure, and none of your realities can be fulfilled.
Integrity frees your energy
Your distorted cognition of life is the filter which keeps you in maya (illusion). When you establish yourself in integrity, this filter between you and life is removed, and you will start cognizing a new reality.
All your energy, which was blocked by these negative cognitions and negative commitments, is now freed to experience life and to manifest the reality you want. Instead of being bound by the reality you experience, now you are free to create the reality you choose!
The brain that is established in integrity and authenticity can read any book and understand the truths from that book. Just as a Paramahamsa swan can separate water from the milk in a mixture of milk and water, the brain established in integrity can separate truth from untruth effortlessly. The brain established in integrity and authenticity is what I call Paramahamsa, supreme swan.
When integrity expresses through your head, it expresses as intelligence. When it expresses through your heart, it expresses as sympathy. When it expresses through your being, it expresses as peace.
With fresh eyes, look at everything in your life - your business plans,
