Today, I will expand on root thought patterns and completion.
Please understand, all of you need to know why you behave the way you behave, why you act the way you do and why you do what you do. You may be a doctor, an engineer, in a corporate field, a politician, in the field of finance or religion - whatever you may be, whether you act with softness, peace, agitation or irritation, it is your root thought pattern that is responsible for the way you react, the way you function.
Let me define root thought pattern. The first strong cognition you go through in your life, which influences you to continue to function based on the same cognition, is a root thought pattern!
Understand this. For example, at the age of three or four, for some reason, somebody tries to attack you. Shivering and frightened, you run and hide yourself. The cognition was so deep in you that your whole inner space was filled with fear for few minutes. All other cognitions – the possibility is shut down and this one cognition just fills you for a few moments. Even after that person has gone, you are still shivering in your hiding place.
Please understand, if you had this kind of experience at that young age, you literally never come out of your hiding place after that! You may physically come out, but the suffering and shivering continue to happen! The shivering and the suffering continue to happen! They continue to be in you! Even at the age of ninety five, you will be shivering just like the three-year-old boy, with the fear inside you!
Once some root thought pattern starts in you, your growth stops! After that, only that pattern grows in you, not you! Listen! Only the pattern grows, not you! If you had chosen to attack him back with whatever you got in your hand, then that also will be a pattern!
Listen! Listen now, only if you listen intensely can you get this truth! Non-listening is not going to help. Listen! How you behave, how you feel, how you respond – it means the cognition which happens in you and fills you at a very young age, and overpowers you. Sometimes it is fear, sometimes it is greed, sometimes it is jealousy and sometimes it is the decision to prove yourself. Sometimes, it is just blocked out, being blocked out with confusion and worry!
The first thing you need to know is that your life as a human being starts only when you find your root thought pattern and complete with it! Otherwise, you go on cheating yourself most of the time!
One of the worst things is that the root thought pattern becomes so much a part of you that you don't even realize that the root thought pattern and you are two different things! You just listen to your root thought pattern and behave as if the decision is your own. It is like a traitor becoming the Prime Minister of a country or the President of a country, some traitor becoming the power-center of that country! What will happen to that country? In the same way, root thought pattern is your traitor. It means that it is your enemy! If your enemy becomes part of your decision-making mechanism, your life will be destroyed!
Listen! Look in! Unless you find your root thought pattern and complete with it, your independent life does not start. Your root thought pattern is living through you. I have seen people getting completely imbalanced for a very small thing that they don't find – for example if they don't find where their cigarette lighter is! Just a gross stop and they fall! They are totally disoriented and imbalanced! They do not know why!
Just like you have the flow of air and the flow of blood as part of you, in course of time, this flow of pain and suffering also becomes a part of you. Sometimes you even enjoy it, because with the flow of sufferings and pain, you feel that there is a challenge in life! Even though you don't have anything really worthy to show that you are a success, you create pseudo-pain and pseudo-challenges to show that your life is worthy and you are great! Most of the time, you create and brag on with pseudo-challenges, pseudo-pains, pseudo-

sufferings, just to justify to yourself that your existence is worthy.
You say, ‘See! Being a person of my background with so much of suffering and pain, I have finally become an MLA!’
You go on; you go on creating pseudo-sufferings, pain patterns and unsettled decisions. See, just taking powerful decisions and destabilizing yourself becomes almost a new kind of excitement and adventure for you. Not being stable almost becomes an adventure for you. Come back! Don’t be foolish! At the end of the life, you are going to be measured based on the success, not based on the adventure!
Most of the time, you yourself create foolish obstacles, you struggle with it and name that as an adventure! To take a decision whether to wear the watch on the left hand or right hand, if you sit and brood for twenty-one days and then finally wear it on your hip and go, it is not an adventure! You are a fool who wasted twenty-one days to make this simple decision! But you come out and show, ‘See, see, see! To wear this watch here, I took twenty-one days!’ In what way is it going to be useful?
Understand, your life should be measured only based on the level of enriching you did! That is the scale with which your life is going to be measured, not based on the struggles you had in your life! All the great leaders’ biographies should be re-written for the next generation! At least my Gurukul kids - you will not read the idiotic, perverted biographies of the so-called many leaders, whose life is described with so much of conflict, struggles and finally, adventure. No! A person can be considered as a great leader only based on how many people he enriched, and in what ways he enriched. That’s all!
There are some foolish games where the horses are made to jump many obstacles. The more obstacles the horse jumps, it is considered as a victory! But what is the use? What are horses for? To cross the distance! It should be used for crossing the distance! I tell you, making your life look adventurous is nothing but too much of fat that you collected in some unnecessary spots of your body! It is not real an energy expression. The real energy expression is supposed to be based on how many people you enriched!
Your root thought patterns continuously swallow your life! Listen, when your root thought patterns are responding through you, your cognition is called 'maya' – 'delusion'. Find your root thought pattern, where your main behavioral pattern started and where your main cognition occupied your inner space.
I have seen, sometimes people want name and fame, but they don't want to take the responsibility for other human beings. Please understand, only when you take responsibility of training and helping other human beings, you will have name and fame. Why will somebody praise you? Only if you contribute to their life! Some people desire to have name and fame, but they will not take the responsibility of enriching or contributing to others life. They go on desiring, but don't take responsibility.
When your root
thought patterns
are respond-
ing through you,
your cognition
is called ‘maya’
– ‘delusion’.
Please understand, the gap between your desire and responsibility is your inauthenticity. Bring more and more authenticity. Bring more and more authenticity. Take more and more responsibility. I tell you, until you find your root thought pattern and complete with it, your life has not started!
People sometimes ask me, 'What do you give during Inner Awakening?' I tell you, I give you life. I give your 'life' to you in Inner Awakening!
Sometimes, not just sometimes but, many times, the plants cover the whole pond and tank. People don't even know whether the water is there or not in the pond, and whether the water can be used. The water plants completely cover the whole water body so thickly that you neither know if there is water, nor do you know if you can use it.
In the same way, the sufferings created by the root thought patterns fill you, fill you so strongly, so powerfully, they fill you so strongly and so powerfully that you lose life! You don't have life anymore! Only when you clear those water plants, will you know how much water is there. Only when you clear root thought patterns and the patterns you built because of the root thought patterns, you will know the consciousness you have! The consciousness you have! Only when you have found your root thought pattern and removed it and regained your consciousness, you will understand, 'Oh, God! I have literally wasted my whole life!'
I tell you, even what you call as your basic instinct - like the lust pattern are all nothing but combination of few root thought patterns! Lust is not at all lust! If you go deep, there will be some other root thought pattern which is drilling your lust, rekindling it again and again. It may be the power to prove you! And the root thought pattern of asking for others attention!
Only when you clear your root thought pattern, you will even know, you will even know your life! You will even know your consciousness!
How many of you cognize that only after removing and completing with the root thought pattern, you understood how many years you wasted in your life? This is the example. Only when your root thought patterns are cleared, you will know what life is, what freedom is. Until then, you don't even know life! Your effort to make money, your effort to have relationships, your effort to have fulfillment, everything will be out of the incompletion. Incompletion will be driving you. Your root thought pattern will be driving you.
In the 'Inner-
Awakening'
program, I give
your 'life' to you.
If your enemy is driving you, will he be driving you towards success? He may make you believe that you are going towards success, but he will never ever lead you to success. If your root thought patterns are driving your life, you may believe that you are successful, but you will never be driven to success. Understand, if you are running behind alcohol, if you are using alcohol for joy and relaxation and restful awareness and feeling fulfilled, I bet, even if you have a billion dollars, you are a failure! I sympathize with you! Your life is waste!
Understand. For example, if you have a root thought pattern of fear or shivering in you, even if you make billions of dollars out of that root thought pattern, you will not achieve satisfaction. Because the reason why you are making money is to feel secured. You will feel secured only when you break that pattern, not by money! It is like a wrong strategy. Wrong strategy, for the wrong reason!
In India, hooliganism is the most practiced religion! These hooligans, when they get angry, they make an effigy of the person towards whom they are angry and burn it. Is it in any way going to affect the guy towards whom you have anger? Instead, you can collect all the dust in the street and burn it. At least the street will be clean! Just like that, even if you make billions of dollars, you are not going to achieve satisfaction if the driving force is the incompletion, if the root thought pattern is fear.
Whether it is lust, anger, agitation or irritation, whatever it may be, please understand, all the moments you feel powerless in your life is because of your root thought pattern. A person who does not have even one moment of powerlessness in his life is an enlightened being! A person who never had powerlessness in his life, from birth, is an incarnation!
Understand anything is worth giving up. To find your root thought pattern and complete it, you can give up anything. It is worth it. Because once you complete with your root thought pattern, you will feel so much of energy and powerfulness! There won't be a single moment of powerlessness! Whether it is in your house or job or relationships or life, if you feel powerless somewhere, please understand, it is because of the root thought patterns you carry. If you feel powerless somewhere, it is because of the root thought patterns you are carrying.
Every human being should be helped to find their root thought pattern and the incident where the root thought pattern started occupying their inner space and destroying it, perverting their inner space and killing their life, swallowing their life. Every human being should find that root thought pattern and complete with it.
Understand, I am defining 'root-thought-pattern' once more. The feeling of powerlessness overpowering your cognition and imbalancing your cognition from your consciousness, and the birth of the mind happening, is 'root thought pattern'.
A person who
does not have
even one moment
of powerlessness
in his life is an
enlightened being.
It is the root thought pattern incident where the birth of your mind happens. And, I tell you, if you consider me as your Guru, whoever considers themselves as my followers, your first responsibility is in finding your root thought pattern and completing it, living these four principles of integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching, helping whoever you meet, enriching them by helping them to find their root thought pattern.
All my disciples should help every individual. It does not need to be a formal class. If you are waiting to make a formal class, you will be waiting forever! Later on, when time comes, I will organize it as formal classes and programs. Now, start helping whoever you meet, guiding them to find their root thought pattern.
Understand, every moment of powerlessness that you are feeling in your life is your root thought pattern living; it is not you living! Then understand, your life is literally swallowed by your root thought pattern! Your life is literally swallowed by your root thought pattern! You have to find your root thought pattern and help people find their root thought patterns. This is real enriching!
Understand, in the ‘Inner-Awakening’ program, I give you your life, because we help you to find your root thought pattern and destroy it!
The feeling of powerlessness overpowering your cognition and imbalancing your consciousness and being, the cause of the birth of your mind, is ‘root- pattern’.
Understand, without completing your root thought pattern, your DNA layers are not awakened, mitochondria cell energy is not awakened. Once you discover your root thought pattern and you complete with it, your kundalini is immediately awakened, your mitochondria cell energy goes up, your DNA level, DNA awakening, DNA layer awakening drastically increases!
For common human beings, for normal human beings, two layers of DNA are awakened. If you find your root thought pattern and complete, six layers of DNA will be awakened in you! If six layers of DNA are awakened, your child will be an enlightened being! You will have an enlightened child! Even if you marry, you will enrich the world by your enlightened child! Even through marriage, you will be enriching the world!
If you have not found your root thought pattern and completed with it, even with sannyas you will only be a headache to the world! You will not be enriching the world, you will just be encroaching the world!
Either you encroach or enrich. If you don't enrich, you encroach! If you find your root thought pattern and complete it, even with marriage you can enrich the world! If not, you will be encroaching the world! Enriching or encroaching, it is up to you! It is up to you!
So, the essence of today's satsang is this. Find your root thought pattern and complete it. Only then, life starts for you!
Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you!
Every moment
of powerlessness
that you feel in
your life is your
root thought
pattern living,
not you living.

Please understand, when you first had the feeling of powerlessness, you never grew once the root pattern started! You physically grow, but mentally, you are sealed! If you mentally grow, your physical age will be sealed and you will be young forever! You will be growing young!
