If you are in the space of Completion, all the work you touch will be successful, it will flourish, it will bring so much of powerfulness in you.

Success-Powerfulness will always shower success, understand, never bring failure. It is a law of life!

Whatever may be the reason for your
powerlessness, once the powerlessness
enters in you, it eats away even one or
two remaining good things in your life.
Even the few moments of powerfulness
which you experienced will be forgotten
by you; you will think it is only a
illusion or delusion or accident
happened in your life. If you think the
beautiful moments of your life happened
in you as an accident, there is nobody
unfortunate than you.

NEVER BE POWERLESS

Even if you try to show yourself as
powerful, when you are feeling inside
powerless, the pull and push internally
creates tremendous stress.

Comparing yourself with people whom you think higher than you puts you into the eternal depression. We can call this hell as "Kumbhipaakam". Garuda Purana describes various hells. Putting yourself in the space of powerlessness is equivalent to putting yourself in hell with a lot of effort.

Neither comparing yourself with the
people who you think are higher than
you nor comparing yourself with people
who you think are lower than you is
going to keep you powerful or help you
in your life.

Remain powerful by remembering
comparing with others is a sickness
which happens due to powerlessness.

A portrait of Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam alongside a text quote

Whether you compare yourself
with people whom you think are
higher than you or you think are
lower than you, you are in the
space of powerlessness and you
are destroying yourself. And you
are going to destroy yourself
unless you raise yourself, unless
you complete with yourself.

UNDERSTAND, WHILE YOU ARE
WONDERING WHAT OTHERS
THINK OF YOU, OTHER IS
THINKING WHAT YOU THINK
OF HIM OR HER!

Buddha says, 'Nothing exists except in relationship.' Suppose you were the only person on a new planet, how could you compare yourself with anyone? Could you call yourself tall or short, ugly or beautiful, rich or poor, intelligent or dumb? No! When there is no one with whom to compare ourselves, we just are! Even now, there is no scale to compare you with anybody. Each individual is unique.

Can you compare a lion and a horse? Do we ever compare ourselves with flowers or birds or mountains? Then why do we have to compare ourselves with other human beings! The moment you stop comparing, all jealousy disappears. Instead, you will start feeling contented in yourself and grateful to Existence for having given you so much and for making you unique. If you feel jealous of others, you will suffer.

You will constantly fight with others openly or inside yourself If somebody laughs, you think he is laughing at you. If somebody is friendly towards another person, you feel lonely and jealous of that person. Actually, you are just waiting for someone to hurt you. The jealousy you allow inside you is like a raw wound.

Any action done with no intention to hurt you also touches the wound and hurts.

So when you feel hurt, understand that you have a wound. Don't throw the responsibility of the suffering on the other person. The wound needs to be healed, the jealousy has to be dissolved. Then nobody can hurt you. Nobody can hurt you without your silent permission.

You compare yourself to each other
because you feel that you are somehow
lacking.

A person with a headache or feeling stressed

All of the confidence, intelligence, and vibrant energy that you need already exist inside you. You have the potential to live like a gods on earth. Don't believe the limiting things that you have been made to believe about yourselves. Just look in! Experiment, explore and discover the truth for yourself. Then you will simply radiate all of these qualities effortlessly.
