Today I will expand on how the second principle - Authenticity - transforms the reality of your life.
The first tattva you need to know is that whatever you experience as reality is only a possibility. Please listen! If you are experiencing your reality as rich and good, that is also only a possibility for something greater that will come. If you are experiencing your reality as bad, poor, with suffering and suffocation, that is also is a possibility for a still worse suffering that will come.
What you experience as reality is only the possibility. If you are experiencing it as good, there is a possibility for a better reality to happen, and if you are experiencing it as bad, there is a possibility for something even worse to happen. But do not ever think that the reality you are experiencing is reality. No! It is just the possibility. If you are experiencing fear, be very clear, it is only a possibility for greater fear that will come. If you are experiencing courage, then be very clear that it is only the possibility for the greater courage that will come. Everything you experience as reality is just the possibility!
As you yourself are only a possibility that has not yet become reality, what you experience is also only a possibility that has not yet become reality. You realize that it is ‘your’ reality – anything you experience is not the reality. As long as you remain a possibility that still needs to be opened, experienced and explored, your reality also remains a possibility.
If you live authenticity, you will support your right possibilities to happen. If not, you will allow your unconscious possibilities to open. That is all! Understand the essence of life. You are only a possibility. Your experience is also a possibility.
One of the biggest mistakes you make in your life is thinking that you are still a possibility, but your life is a reality! That is why you feel weak. Your life is not a stone wall that is already built. It is a wax model that is getting ready! Understand, the reality you experience is not a stone wall that is already built. It is only a wax model that is getting ready. Authenticity is the intelligence to alter your possibility consciously, in the right way. Authenticity is a great possibility for you to alter your life in the right way.
Let me expand on authenticity. Authenticity is you being established in the peak of your capability and responding to life from who you perceive yourself to be for yourself, who you project yourself to be for others, and what others expect you to be for them.
Whatever you perceive about you is only a possibility. If you think you are a swami, a good person, a nice person, even that is only a possibility for a greater saint to happen. If you think that you are filled with jealousy, dirt, junk, disease, depression and what not, that is also not reality. It is a possibility for greater disease, depression, and disorders to happen!
Now, almost all of us experience our self as a mixture of both. You experience yourself as a mixture of both – a little health and a little disease, a little goodness and a little badness, a little joy and a little depression, a little fight and a little reconciliation, a little wealth and a little poverty. So you are a possibility for any extreme. You are a possibility for any possibility. When you are in the state of possibility for any possibility, you are called a seeker.

A seeker is a
person who is
a possibility for
any possibility!
A seeker is a person who is a possibility for any possibility. If you have already become a sinner, you can't be a seeker. If you are already a saint, you can't be a seeker. If you perceive the possibility for both as a possibility in your reality, you are a seeker. It means that you do not know which side you are going to take, you do not know what your life is going to be.
Most of us experience ourselves as a possibility for both possibilities and every possibility. I have seen people planning to enter into politics even at the age of 60, and thinking that they will become Prime Minister. I have seen people at the age of 70 wanting to start some business, and imagining that they will become the world's richest individuals. So we all feel we are a possibility for all possibility.
Please listen, you are a possibility for many possibilities, and your life is also possibility for many possibilities. Nothing has as yet become reality. It has not yet become reality. But all your suffering is because you think life has become reality. It has not. Because still you are in the mode of trial and error, life is also giving you time, life is also waiting.
Authenticity is the right way of creating your life's possibilities. If you have not yet built the building, you are just sitting and waiting, the empty land is a possibility for any type of construction. The same land can become a hospital, a school, an ashram, a temple or a house; it can become anything. Empty land is a possibility. Same way, your life is also a possibility. Authenticity is the right architect. If your life is an empty land, bring in authenticity as the architect, or the empty land will become a wasteland. Bring authenticity as the architect, so that the empty land can realize its ultimate possibility. Let it not become a wasteland.
If you feel that you are working better than last year, you are thinking more clearly than last year, you are experiencing more than last year, you are more active than last year, you are more energetic than last year - whatever may be your age, you are growing younger. If you think that you are more tired than last year, you are sicker than last year, you are more depressed than last year, you are less energetic than last year - whatever may be your age, you have started travelling towards death; you have started ageing. Ageing can start happening even at 18, and anti-ageing can start happening even at 90. Ageing or anti-ageing has nothing to do with the calendar. When number of years that are passing is not making you tired or retired, you are kaalakaala, one who has conquered time.

You are a pos-
sibility for many
possibilities, and
your life is also
possibility for
many possibili-
ties. Authenticity
is the right way
of creating your
life's possibilities!
Authenticity will make you better and better with every passing day. Authenticity has so much power, that when you are living authenticity, every third day you will feel that you are becoming new, new, new. New possibilities are opening, new experiences are happening. Authenticity will make you feel stronger and stronger every day; it will make you experience new-new possibilities. It will open up new-new possibilities continuously.
Bring the right architect. Bring authenticity. You will continuously expand. You will grow in health, you will grow in energy, you will grow in possibility, you will grow in thinking, you will grow in every level. So you will be growing younger! Authenticity is the direct technique for growing younger.
Authenticity makes you grow younger in your inner space, because every day the way you think about you is expanding, the way you perceive you is expanding, the way you experience you is growing. When authenticity happens to you, your possibilities continuously expand; your mamakara (inner image) gets newly built. When the mamakara is newly built, the possibility is completely new.
With authenticity, the very source of how you cognize you is transformed. When that source is growing, you are growing younger. You become kaalakaala. Authenticity has the power to continuously expand you. I can give you hundreds of examples. The way you perceive yourself today, and the way you will perceive yourself tomorrow, if you achieve something that you think you can't achieve – both will be completely different. When your perception about you is transformed, your possibility in life is transformed. When the possibility in life is transformed, the possibility of everything is transformed.
Listen! When your cognition is broken to pieces from inside, life is happening. Life is happening! If it is broken from outside, death is happening. If an egg is broken from outside, life is killed, it is death. If the life inside the egg is not authentic to life, even a breeze can roll the egg and break it from outside. The grass which is moving in the breeze can break the egg from outside; death will happen. If the life inside the egg is authentic, it will grow from inside and break the shell and come out; then no breeze can kill it. It will eat the grass and walk through the breeze!
The amount of authenticity you carry in your cognition makes the shell break from inside. Continuously, new-new-new possibilities happen. Your old cognitions about you are broken for good. Sometime your cognitions will be broken by failures - then you are inauthentic, you are shrinking, you are getting destroyed. If your cognition is broken by goodness, you are becoming authentic. Inauthenticity is the corruption that can happen in your soul. Don't allow it.
A corrupt official takes away your confidence in the whole system. A corrupt politician takes away your confidence in the whole country. A corrupt leader takes away your confidence in society. A corrupt consciousness takes away your confidence in life itself. Don't allow the worst corruption which can happen on Consciousness, which is inauthenticity.
Listen! If you don't bring authenticity, inauthenticity is waiting to take you over. Because you trained yourself for so many years with inauthenticity, inauthenticity is waiting to take you over. Bring authenticity continuously; expand how you feel about you, how you project yourself to others, and how others experience you. Go on expanding, go on expanding. Authenticity is the possibility of life in you.
It is authenticity which constantly opens the possibilities in you. New-new-new doors of life open in your health, in your wealth, in your relationships. In whatever form you perceive your life, in whatever way you measure your life - authenticity brings life into everything! Authenticity literally makes you a being with a thousand heads and eyes, a thousand hands and legs - sahasra sheersha purushah sahasraaksha sahasrapaad. Authenticity can create your life with so many possibilities.
Listen! When
your cognition is
broken to pieces
from inside, life
is happening! If
it is broken from
outside, death
is happening!
At every step, when your cognition about you changes, the way you project yourself to others changes, and the way you fulfill others' expectations about you changes. Authenticity means bringing your perception about you to the peak, bringing the way you show yourself to others to the peak, being at the peak in fulfilling the way others want you to be for them.
Without authenticity, life is dangerous, with authenticity you are dangerous even to dangers! No danger can come to you. With authenticity, death will say that you are dangerous to him! When you are at such a high level of authenticity, Death is killed.
If your cognition about you is broken by failure, it means you are shrinking. If your cognition about you is broken by goodness, your cognition is growing, expanding. Life is happening. How you perceive you and how you project you to others has to expand, just like the universe. The universe is constantly expanding. It is constantly expanding into Expansion itself. It is expanding into Expansion!
You may ask, how can the universe expand? Into what it can expand? I tell you, it is expanding into Expansion. Expansion is the space into which it is expanding. Either today or tomorrow, the scientists who are doing research in this field will come to this conclusion.
Many conclusions which Swami Vivekananda made and delivered in the fields of physics and psychology were proved true many years later. In the same way, some day in the future, people who do research in this field will prove what I am saying, but I am giving you the conclusion right now. The universe is expanding into Expansion itself. It is expanding into Expansion. There is no separate space.
You don't know where the things sucked into a black hole go. Whatever goes into a black hole, nobody knows where they go. They disappear into the black hole itself. Whatever comes out of Big Bang, nobody knows where it comes from. Black hole goes into black hole; Big Bang explodes into Big Bang. The whole universe with its Big Bangs and black holes - nobody knows where it is expanding. I tell you, it is expanding into Expansion itself! It is expanding into Expansion itself. In course of time, science will prove what I am saying.
Listen! Expansion is the space in which expanding can happen. Authenticity is the space where Life can happen. Here, because of the air, the words I am uttering are travelling and reaching your ears. Listening is happening. The space of air makes listening possible. The space of expansion makes expanding possible. The space of authenticity makes life possible! The possibility of authenticity makes life possible. Continuously expanding you without any limit before your eyes is universal life.
If you see the end of your life before your eyes, you are an atheist. If you see the end of your life in front of your mind, you are a materialist. If you are able to see your end in front of your emotion, your visualization, you may be called a seeker. If you don't see the end, but just go on expanding with authenticity, your life is universal life. You are a jeevan mukta, you are living enlightenment!

If your cogni-
tion about you is
broken by failure,
it means you are
shrinking. If your
cognition about
you is broken by
goodness, your
cognition is grow-
ing, expanding.
Life is happening!
First bring this possibility of expansion in your cognition about you. Not as imagination or visualization. I just know I don’t have death! I just know I don’t have death and I will go on expanding, doing that for which I assumed this body. I will go on delivering that for which I assumed this body. I tell you, this can become your experience also; just remove tiredness and boredom form your inner space. That is all!
It has been a long time since somebody openly came out and declared the power of these Vedic truths to which human beings need to listen. I tell you, even if you just listen to somebody declaring these Vedic truths, your Consciousness feels the sweet taste. The authenticity of the declaration does not even need to be verified. The very declaration brings so much of sweetness to your consciousness. Authenticity brings inspiration to your consciousness.
shraddha – authenticity - continuously connects you with you, and with your highest possibility. Life is for realizing that possibility. Life is for realizing the Self. Life is for realizing itself. Tiredness and boredom are your enemies which stop authenticity from happening in you. Drop this to bring authenticity in whatever you are; how you feel about you, how you project yourself to others and how others want you for them. In all this three, bring yourself to your peak.
Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you!

You need to know that there are simple solutions which exist for any problem you have in your life. Most of the time, you suffer with fears which you can't imagine. What you can imagine is always a solvable problem. That is why you constantly carry the fear of unsolvable problems.
