DROP YOUR PAST TO OWN YOUR FUTURE!🔗

TUESDAY, 9TH APRIL 2013

Today, I will expand on how the kundalini awakening can help you create the reality of your choice.

Human beings are only programmed for the right future that they want to build. They are not given the power to correct the past. Please listen! You are only empowered to build the future, as you want it. You are not empowered to correct the past. So, the more and more you brood over the past, the more suffering you will have! You are only empowered to build the future - which has no connection with the past, which has nothing to do with the past!

As long as you believe that your past has the capacity to influence your future, you are in delusion! Human beings are hardwired to build the future as they want it, but they have no capacity to correct the past. All the struggle you put in to correct the past will only be a failure!

You have no power to correct your past. You only have the power to build your future. The more and more you think about the past, the more and more powerless you will be!

You are hypnotized into believing that your past has an influence over your future. No!

Even if somebody was a sinner until this moment, the next moment he can become a saint! Even if somebody was a saint until this moment, the next moment he can become a sinner! That is the beauty of Mahakala – Time!

Your cognition about you and about life depends on what you think as your time. Usually, you think of hundred years as your time. So, you think of whatever has passed, as your time, and whatever is going to come, as your time. This is completely wrong! Neither is your life hundred years, nor is the passed time your time. Only the time that is going to come – the future – this is your time.

The whole time is your time. That is the first right cognition you need to have. Second, whatever has passed is not your time; it has no power over you; it has no influence over you. Third, only the future is your time.

Your delusion, that the time spent while you are in your body is your time, is wrong! It is not your time; it was not your time. It was perceived by you with your broken, beaten and abused cognition! Your cognition is not complete cognition, till integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching becomes the basis of your cognition. Until then, your cognition is nothing but confusion! You can never develop your life, as long as you think that whatever has happened in the past, as perceived by you as the past, is yours. No!

Not owning what you cannot own and owning what you can own, is Life. Unfortunately, you try to own what you cannot own, and not own what you are supposed to own! You are supposed to own your future time, but you do not own it. You do not take the responsibility for it; you do not take the ownership for it. You cannot own your past, yet you continuously try to own it!

This is because your mind teaches you that the 'known' is right! No! Freedom from the known is the real freedom. Just because the past is known, don't think that you can own it!

You are supposed to own your future! You are the owner of your future! You should take ownership for your future. But look in, ninety percent of your thoughts are all about the past! When I see a person, I can tell based on his eyes and the expression of his eyes, whether he is lost in the past or looking towards the future. The eyes which have no power mean that he is lost in the past!

You don't take ownership of that for which you are supposed to be the owner, which you are supposed to own. Your energy does not even flow towards it. And the things which you cannot own, you go on trying to own it, own it and own it – like your past!

You might have lived with her for fifty years. She might have been your first and last love. You might have had the most romantic life with her. But even then, you cannot keep her dead body with you for more than a few hours. This is exactly the way you need to behave with your past!

Wake up! You might have lived with her for years. She fulfilled all your dreams. You had a romantic relationship and she was part of you. You had an amazing life and loved living together. She was your first and last love. BUT, just because she was your beloved, don't forget the truth that you cannot keep her dead body! Once she is dead, she is dead! You have to bury her body! It is time you bury her body! It is time to give farewell to her!

You are constantly trying to brood over your failures. When you try to brood over your failures, you empower your failures. You have already planned that your future is going to be a failure! One of the biggest delusions that human beings suffer from is that the future comes out of the past. I tell you - the future comes 'OUT' of the past, not 'OUT OF' the past! Future comes 'OUT' of the past, not 'OUT OF' the past!

That is why when you take sannyas, you just break from the past! If you are still brooding over the failures of your past, sannyas has not yet happened in you. The space of sannyas is yet to happen in you!

You trying to own the past is abuse to Mahakala (the Lord of Time)! Not owning your future is like shutting your door to Mahakala. Owning your future means receiving Mahakala, receiving Kalabhairava (the Lord of time). Brooding over your past is like living with your dead body, not looking at the life possibility, not looking at the possibility of life!

Decide, that you will not abuse Kalabhairava any more by brooding over the past. You will get ready and will welcome and receive Kalabhairava, with responsibility and ownership. Take the ownership for your future. If you take the ownership for your future, your eyes will be shining and bright, expecting the future, ready to receive it, planning for it, taking ownership for it and owning it!

Take ownership for your future. Let your mind think about your future with responsibility. Kalabhairava will bless you!

By nature, you are hardwired to move towards your future. The only mistake you do is that you move without responsibility. Just move with responsibility, you will be on the right track and move towards enlightenment! It's only because you moved towards your future without responsibility that you have failed with so many fantasies! Then the failures of your fantasies occupy your inner space so much, that you are lost in the past and the guilt of the past! When you don't move towards the future with responsibility, it will be the same past, filled with guilt, like wasted pages of your history, like rotten pages of your bio-memory, as rotten pages of your biography!

I tell you, your smile and laughter is in taking ownership of the future! Your long face is lost in trying to own your dead past! The smile and the laughter in your face look at the possibility and the future. A long face shows that you are drowned in the past! Whenever your face has a smile and laughter, your consciousness - your cognition, is moving towards the future. The possibility of life is reminded to you. The possibility that your best possibilities are yet to come, is reminded to you.

People who hold on to the past are trying to hold on to the back leg of Kalabhairava. Hold on to the leg of Kalabhairava that is going forward. Do not hold on to the leg of Kalabhairava which is at the back, and try to pull him! He is not going to wait for you even if you try to pull him! He will just kick you and walk! Hold on to the leg which is going forward. He will bless you and take you forward! Do not hold on to the leg which is back, because he is not going to be stuck in the past like you!

When you cognize time, when you cognize life, do not commit the crime of holding on to the past, or trying to own the past. If you try to own the past, you are trying to keep the dead body of your beloved! However beautiful a life you had, keeping the photographs are okay, but keeping the dead body is not okay! Even for the most beautiful and romantic life that you had with your beloved, keeping photographs is okay, you can own them. But you cannot try to own the dead body. Owning the dead body will only destroy you! If you own twenty dead bodies around you like this, tell me what will happen to you? Tell me, what will happen to you? You will simply be dead! You will be dead. You will be dead!

Sit and design your future, and take responsibility for it. When you own your past, Kalabhairava's compassion or sympathy will not be on you. Because you decide to pull Him back! He will only show anger towards you! Do not try to own your past. Instead, plan your future with responsibility.

Just as the army tanker has teeth in its wheels, and leaves its footprint when it goes on the road, in the same way, you leave the imprint of the guilt from your past, when you plan your future with fantasy, without responsibility.

Listen! When you take responsibility, it is no more a fantasy. But when you don't take responsibility, it is a fantasy. When you plan for your future without responsibility, you leave the imprint of the guilt from your past!

But if you see the road rollers, when they roll on the road, they make the road strong. Road rollers are like planning for the future, with responsibility. When you plan for the future with responsibility, you are like a road roller. You strengthen the road and make it smooth. If you plan for your future without responsibility, you are like an army tanker

Most of the time, your mind is engaged in your past, brooding over your past. Whenever you give rest to you, you are with your past, hugging the dead body!! I tell you, if you are constantly brooding over your past, you are doing the same thing – hugging a dead body!

Your past has no future, don't waste your life with it. The more you realize that your past has no power over your future, the more you are free.

When J.Krishnamurti says that freedom from the known is the ultimate freedom, this is what he means. Freedom from your past is the ultimate freedom!

You need to know the truth. You need to know the truth! Having the wrong emotion towards the future will destroy it. You need responsibility towards your future, not fear.

Understand, when you take responsibility towards your future, you neither have fear nor have greed. When you take responsibility towards your future, you live with integrity, authenticity and responsibility. Your kundalini energy flows towards building your future. Your cognition IS your kundalini energy. If it is fully engaged in your past, you are dead, building the dead as your future! If you are responsible towards your future, you will neither have fear to think about it, nor have a fantasy to drool over it.

This is the essence of what I want to tell you today. Let you not waste your inner space by brooding over the past. Let you enter responsibly into your future and plan for your future by taking responsibility. Your past has no future and your future has no past!

With integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching, declare today. Declare NOW that you will respect Kalabhairava in the future. From this moment, you will not abuse Kalabhairava by brooding over the past, which is not your property. You will only responsibly plan for your future, which is your 'possibility'.

Neither the past nor the future is yours. But, the future is your 'possibility', so you have the right to think about it with responsibility. If you take responsibility for the future, it is possibility. If not, it is just probability. Anything which is probability is not your property.

The fear of the past destroys your future. When you take the responsibility of your past, you will not have both - fear or greed. Learn this one lesson

When you bring integrity, you are purified from the dead body of your past. When you bring authenticity in your thinking, your whole energy is pushed towards the future. When you bring responsibility into your thinking, your future is getting created. And when you enrich yourself and others, the best possible future for you is happening!

Every moment that you brood over the past, you are moving closer towards death. Listen! That is why when the elders age, and they know that they do not have a future, they are so filled with the past! But when they are so filled with their past, they become useless to others and to themselves.

Yesterday, somebody gave me the news that a former celebrity had passed away. When I heard the news, I asked, 'Oh, was she still alive?!' That's all I asked! What does that mean? It means that for the last part of her life, she was not active or alive; she was not directly useful to the society. I tell you, the only thing that I will not want in my

life is people asking this question when I leave the body. 'Oh! Was he still alive?' As long as I am alive, people should know that I am alive! It means that I am active, alive, kicking around and enriching people! If you are not enriching people, people will naturally ask when you die. 'Was he still alive?' 'Was she still alive?'

Your departure should not be sudden news, it should be part of the daily news! Your departure should be the end of the daily news, not sudden news! It means that there should not be any gap between your retirement from society and your departure from the world. And I tell you, even after retiring from the body, I am not going to retire from humanity! That is my commitment with humanity. Even after departure, I am not going to depart from humanity!

Whatever it may take, decide to build your cognition towards your future. It usually takes twenty-one days to give a break for 'you', burn the dead body of your past, and put you towards the future. That is what I do, in the 'Inner-Awakening' program. People ask me, 'Why twenty-one days?' This is the answer - because it takes twenty one days for you to give a break from your past. It takes twenty one days to liberate you from your past and burn your past.

This is because you are so tightly hugging your past! 'No! My beloved! Don't take it away from me! My beloved! My beloved! My beloved! My beloved! Life! Life! Life! I lived with her for thirty years – forty years – fifty years! You don't know where we went together! What we did together! How can you take it away?' Somebody has to forcibly take your past away, to liberate you and help you to take your future!

Even if it is Sati and Shiva, you cannot carry the dead body! Understand, even if it is Sati and Shiva, the dead body has to be burnt. The dead body has to be dropped, your past has to be dropped, and you have to be pushed into the future! Only then can Parvati happen. Only then can Meenakshi happen. If you are carrying the dead body of Sati, the possibility of Parvati is stopped, the manifestation of Meenakshi is deprived! Give farewell to Sati's body! Allow the possibility of Parvathi. Manifest Meenakshi!

When we have Meenakshi Brahmotsavam at our ashram temple, that time will be very powerful, unique and extraordinary. The 'sathya' we experienced this time during Meenakshi Brahmotsavam was to 'manifest Meenakshi!'

There is only one thing that I ask all of you to do today. Take the vow now, by raising your hand. ‘With integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching, I drop my past, which is dead, and decide to live my future with responsibility and enriching!’

Close your eyes and declare – ‘I, with integrity, authenticity, responsibility, enriching myself and others, declare: I drop the past which is dead. I give a farewell to my past, a decent burial to my past. I am a new consciousness, a new being, living with responsibility, and enriching myself and others in the future.’

Tathaasthu , so be it!

Now live this declaration. This is the essence today.

Only when you want to responsibly work on your future, do you start listening. The dead past never lets you listen. The past by its very nature does not have life. And if you try to continuously indulge in the past, it also swallows the future!
