Enrich Others And Life Enriches You🔗

Today I will expand on the fourth principle of life, 'enriching', and how it transforms the reality of your life.

First, I will define enriching once again. Enriching is you taking responsibility with integrity and authenticity that you are committed to continuously enriching, which is expanding yourself and life, in and around you.

Enriching you and others transforms reality. Many of the disciples and seekers come and tell me, 'Swamiji, from now, we will start living with integrity, authenticity, responsibility, and complete our future as we want, but what about all the mess-ups that we have created in the past? How do we get rid of that karma?' I tell you, by enriching you and others, you take one step more than responsibility! That alone can burn the past lack of integrity, inauthenticity and irresponsibility!

What is enriching? Going one step further than integrity, authenticity and responsibility. Please understand, enriching is taking responsibility for everyone, taking responsibility to remove everyone's inauthenticity, everyone's lack of integrity. When you serve the country, the country serves you. When you serve somebody, that person serves you. When you enrich, the Cosmos is so happy with you, the whole universe serves you! Enriching you and others alone can transform the reality of your life. Enriching is taking responsibility for everyone.

People constantly ask me, especially the spiritual seekers, 'Swamiji, we understand that we should practice integrity, authenticity, and even responsibility. But why should we enrich others?' Please listen! For you, life happens with others! You are not living in a forest, inside a deep, dark cave where nobody is there! Your life is in you, for you, by you.

If no one knows you, and you don't know anybody, if you live like that, then you don't need to wonder or think or worry about enriching. But your life is not like that! Where you are, hundreds of people are involved with your life! Sometimes, thousands are involved! If you are a public figure, millions are involved! When your life is involved with so many people and so many people's lives are involved with you, if you want any transformation in your life, I tell you, you have to work on transforming others' lives also. Otherwise, you may continuously meditate for days or months, and raise yourself to a very high level of joy and bliss, but the moment you come back to your house, in ten minutes, your spouse can bring you down! Ten minutes is more than enough! One look, one word, and you are down! Or even one phone call is enough, you can be down again!

Listen! Only with enriching can your life go through any transformation. Only with enriching is any transformation possible. Without enriching, nothing is possible. I tell you from my own experience! When many people are involved in your life and your life is involved with many people, enriching is a necessity for any transformation.

Listen! If you want to be wealthy, have the company of wealthy people, or make the people in your company wealthy! If you want to be healthy, be in the company of healthy people, or make the people in your company healthy. If you want to be spiritual, have the company of spiritual people, or make the people in your company spiritual. There is no other way. Your mind, by nature, is programmed to go out.

Like Lord Krishna says, your senses, by nature, are programmed to go out! You are programmed to go out. Going out can happen only in two ways: either to enrich, or to swindle! Surely, swindling others is not going to transform you. Only enriching others is going to transform you. For any big achievement, you have to have the company of high-achievers. Only when all your dimensions and commitments are complete and honored can you experience fulfillment. Only then can you experience restful awareness. Intranalyze, continuously intranalyze whatever I am saying. To experience the reality of your choice in your life, you should first transform and enrich the reality of others around you.

Only when people around you are living with the highest integrity and authenticity, you will express complete integrity and authenticity. Only when people around you live with responsibility, you will start enjoying the power of responsibility. Until then, you are only in the practicing mode. Listen! As long as people around you do not practice integrity, authenticity and responsibility, you yourself will only be struggling and practicing. Because your mind will constantly think, ‘I am so integrated, but others don’t reciprocate it; I am so responsible, but others don’t reciprocate it.’

So any day, your responsibility can be broken, your integrity can be broken and your authenticity can be broken. But if you enrich others, and they are also living integrity and authenticity, I tell you, integrity simply becomes a reality in your life. Authenticity becomes a satya - reality in your life, when everybody around you starts living it. You will start enjoying responsibility when everyone around you becomes responsible. Understand that you are the totality of the many dimensions that you are living. Only when all these dimensions and commitments are complete and honored, you can experience fulfillment and restful awareness.

When you want to work with your life and transform your life, you also have to work with others’ lives. Enriching is taking responsibility for everyone. I tell you, when you take responsibility for others, extraordinary powers start flowing through you. When you start enriching others, the whole Cosmos starts expressing through you! Whenever you enrich others, the energy that flows through you is cosmic energy. If you want to taste and experience cosmic energy, just start enriching others now! Today! The excitement you feel, the freshness you feel, the readiness happening in you, the joy happening in you and the inspiration happening in you is all cosmic energy, pure cosmic energy.

Your past karmas are burnt when you enrich others. When you enrich others to live with integrity, authenticity and responsibility, your past karmas are simply burnt! Listen, the stability of your marriage depends on the stability of your spouse. You cannot be complete in your marriage if only you are stable and integrated. If your spouse is not integrated, your marriage cannot be a successful marriage. In every step of your life, you will be successful only when you enrich the others participating in your life.

A story:

A twenty-year-old boy comes to his father and says, 'I am in love with our neighbor, and I am going to propose to her. I want to marry her.'

The father just collapses on the sofa and says, 'Oh, you can't do that! She is your half-sister!'

The guy is completely disturbed. Anyhow, he obliges his father.

Next month, he comes with another proposal, saying that he is in love with the girl staying in the opposite house, and he has already proposed to her.

Again the father collapses and says, 'Oh, no, my son, I am sorry, but she is also your half-sister!'

He begs his son, 'Don't tell your mom!'

The third time, the son comes back and says the same thing about another girl. And again, the father repeats the same thing.

Now, it is too much. The son is not able to handle this, and he rushes to his mom and cries, 'See what my father has done! Any woman I propose to, he says she is my half-sister. What can I do, whom will I marry?'

The mother says, 'Don't worry son, you can marry any of the three girls - because he is not your father!'

Understand, sometimes, the lack of integrity of people who live around you costs too much to you. So any completion, any fulfillment, any success, is possible only when the people around you are also living with integrity, authenticity, responsibility, fulfillment and completion. Without them living in authenticity and in enriching, you can't live it either.

Listen! Unless the people around you are living in integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching, you can't achieve completion, integrity, authenticity and responsibility. So enriching is an important spiritual work. Enriching others with the tattvas finally comes back to you as higher enrichment.

Understand, your life is not just yours. Whether you want it or not, understand it or not, as long as others are involved in your life, you are involved in others' life. So enriching others' life enriches your life. See, all the people are able to enjoy the infrastructure of the society only when they enrich others' lives. Only when they enrich others' lives, society enriches them. When you don't enrich another's life, your life cannot be enriched. This is the essence of what I wanted to express today.

In every step and every level, when you enrich others, life enriches you. When you enrich others, life enriches you. Only when you decide to continuously enrich, life flows through you. By enriching others, your own heart starts imbibing these truths.

Listen! If you are struggling with some problem and you know the solution, but your heart is not accepting it, then start giving that solution to others; then your heart will listen to it. I tell you, if you are struggling with some solution and you are not able to accept it, and a tug-of-war is going on in you, then give that solution to others, and then your heart will start living it.

If the practicing period ends in success, it is called a practicing period. If it ends in failure, it is called hypocrisy. See, while you practice, are you visualizing success at the end, or are you unconsciously imagining failure at the end? If you are unconsciously but constantly imagining failure at the end, it is hypocrisy. If you are clearly visualizing success at the end, and light is seen at the end of the tunnel, it is practice. If darkness is seen at the end of the tunnel, it is hypocrisy.

Continuously enrich, enrich and enrich. When you enrich others, you will be enriched. Because knowledge is such that only by enriching will you expand. That is why in Hindu tradition we have this great truth as a faith; if one person becomes a sannyasi, seven generations are liberated!

Listen! I tell you, if anybody from your family has become a sannyasi, you can be guaranteed that seven generations of your family are liberated, especially if they are in the sampradaaya of Nithyananda order, since I maintain such a high level of purity of sannyas, in our sampradaya. Because such high integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching is maintained in our sampradaaya, they create so much of punya, so much of goodness.

When you enrich not only you, but everyone around you, all their karmas are also burnt. Enriching others is the best way to use your human life. I tell you, life is a failure if in your old age, you think that you should have done all this when you were young. In your old age, if you think that you should have done something which you have not done when you were young, then your life is a failure. I tell you, enriching is the only way where you will not feel that your life is a failure, when you are old. That is the only way you will feel that your life is a success. So the essence of today's satsang is this - continuously enrich others!

I bless you all, to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss – ‘Nithyananda’! Thank you!

Integrity is the mathematics of life. Authenticity is the biology of life. Responsibility is the science of life. Enriching is the constitution of life! If you are practicing enriching, you are the head of the constitution. Miracles will start happening around you. You will become the center of miracles, because now, you know the constitution of the Cosmos!
