FULFILLING OTHERS MAKES🔗

YOU POWERFUL!

Yesterday, we had a sangha meeting, where I spoke about one important sannyas vrata to my sannyasis. I wanted to share that in the satsang also.

For all my swamis and swaminis, I am redefining ‘aparigraha’ - responsibly possessing. Ok? It is not even possessing; the word is ‘responsibly owning’, responsibly owning and responsibly using. Not having anything is not the purpose of life! Have the things required to enrich people with these four tattvas. Ok? You can have whatever you want, if it is directly required to enrich people, only to enrich people; but it should be the minimum required. For example, you can enrich people by going in a car, and by going in an helicopter. Then, you should only be having a car. It is not that you can buy a helicopter and justify the reason that anything is ok for enriching! So, each one of you guys decide – ‘responsibly owning’. But be aligned to this one satya – living and radiating these four tattvas. Live and radiate these four tattvas. See, when you have that tuning, you actually don’t own anything; satya owns everything. Now, you yourself are owned by the satya. Then how can you own something else? No!

And swamis and swaminis also have one more commitment. It's not just a commitment; it is a lifestyle. If anything belongs to you and anybody asks for it, it is theirs. You should continue to radiate that.

Today, I will expand on 'shraddha', authenticity. The word shraddha happens in Katopanishad. The earliest record available to us of the word shraddha happening is in Katopanishad, where Nachiketa was described as shraddha vivecha - owned by shraddha. Please listen, with shraddha, you should not own it, shraddha should own you. With integrity, you will own it, you are the owner. With shraddha, it should own you.

I will describe shraddha - authenticity. Authenticity is the state where you are established in the peak of your capability and respond 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. Listen, now what I gave is a definition. Let me expand on it. What you feel as you, what you show yourself to others as you, and what others perceive you as you - all these three put together is your personality, it is your being.

Your being has these three components - what you show to yourself (what you believe as you), what you show as yourself as to others, and what others expect you to be. Living in your peak capability in all these three is shraddha. Please understand; I will expand now. The three components of your being - the identity you believe as you, the identity you project as you to others, and others' expectation about you - living in the peak capacity in all these three is shraddha.

First, you should be in your peak of what you believe as you, raising it, raising it, raising it and raising it. Second, whatever you project as you to others, take that also to its peak, raising it, raising it and raising it. Third, stretch yourself, stretch yourself and stretch yourself to the peak of fulfilling others' expectations about you.

One important problem we have is this, 'Swamiji, I am responsible for what I feel as me, and what I project as me to others. But why should I take the responsibility for others' expectation about me?' Please understand; it is you yourself who is sitting in the inner consciousness of everyone who has some expectation towards you, and making them expect these things from you! Some of your words and body language is responsible for them to have that expectation from you. So you are responsible for it!

Living to your peak responsibility is shraddha. I wanted all of you to understand an important truth. Some part of you which is suppressed by you, which wants to realize itself, goes and sits in another's heart and becomes their expectation about you, so that the suppressed part is realized! Listen. When you are not ready to listen to your own heart and expand, the divine helps you by creating the same expectation in others, so that you can expand!

I have seen this in my own life, from my own experience. I tell you - when I decided to fulfill others' expectations about me, when I started stretching myself, I realized that this is also what is my own expectation about me. When you fulfill others' expectations about you, and realize that this is also is your expectation about you, you reach the space of self-realization.

I will define shraddha, authenticity. Please listen! What you feel as you, what you show as you and what others perceive as you and expect from you - being in the peak of all these three is shraddha. How many of you, when you started stretching yourself to others' expectations about you, realized that this is also exactly your own expectation about you? I tell you guys, you are travelling on the path of self realization!

As long as you think you are stretching just because of others' expectation, you will carry continuous irritation, agitation and heaviness. Wait. When you realize that this is also your expectation about you, you will now have fulfillment, joy of renunciation, joy of sacrifice, joy of vairagya. This is what is vairagyananda, tyagananda.

People may ask, 'How can renunciation be joyful, how can tyaga be joyful?' I tell you, if renunciation is done, if sacrifice is done because of others' expectation, it will only be painful. But when

you click with the truth, when you start stretching yourself to others' expectation, you realize this is also your own expectation about you. Then it is no more anyakara, you are expanding for your mamakara and ahankara. Now nobody else is forcing you. Listen! This is an important realization I had this morning during pada pooja, when I was sitting and deciding how I am going to stretch myself to the anyakara of some of my disciples, who wanted me to start speaking in Hindi. I suddenly realized that it is not for them, it is for me! This is also what I wanted!

It is some part of you which is suppressed in you, yet to be realized, which goes and sits in the other's heart. When you fulfill the expectation of others, only then you realize that it is your own expectations that are fulfilled. Others' expectations are a wake-up call based on the time you fixed the alarm! The alarm is not your enemy, you fixed it. Others' expectation from you is not your enemy, you fixed it. The alarm is only helping you to wake up, because you requested it. Others' expectation about you is only your friend helping you to wake up. So when others have expectations towards you, bow down to them as the embodiment of Mahadeva; the antaryami who is inside you, waking you up! I tell you, this is exactly what happened to me today. And the moment I felt this, when I met the disciple again, I could see that person is also different now.

So, the unfulfilled part of your mamakara, which is your own ideas about you which you have not been ready to listen to, which you are constantly suppressing, comes from others' hearts. Because, all of us are connected at the root of the mamakara! If you suppress in one body, it comes out in another body. After all, the root of the mamakara is ananda gandha - in which all of us are one. So when you suppress in this mamakara, it comes out in another mamakara as anyakara, that's all!

When I decided to fulfill my disciple's anyakara, my disciples expectation about me that I should speak in Hindi, when I started speaking, I realized that this is my own expectation about me. How many of you are cognizing it? Really! See, when I decided and committed that I will speak in Hindi, of course the decision came because my disciples expected it from me and requested me. When I started doing it, I realized it is not their anyakara, their expectation about me. It is my own expectation about me which I was not ready to listen to, which I was waiting and putting as a second priority, which I was postponing and putting it on the backburner. When you are not ready to expand, the divine helps you by creating the expectation in others to expand you!

Others' expectation about us is not out of enmity; it is not forced, it is not a suffering or a torture! This one understanding now takes away all the suffering and agitation you carry about fulfilling others' expectation. How many of you literally clicked with this truth? So you should know that when you live in satya, it shows you more deeper and more beautiful ways of living it. Self-illuminated! When you live it sincerely, it shows you deeper and deeper and deeper truths. Others' expectation towards you is not your enemy!

At the root of mamakara is your jeeva - soul, in which all of us are one. If you suppress it in one body, it

comes out in another body. When you are suppressing your expectations about you in your own body, and not ready to listen, it comes out in your wife's body, in your husband's body. It is the expectation about you giving yourself one more chance! So I tell you, others' expectation about you is nothing but one more reminder, one more chance the Lord gives you, Ishwara gives you, the Guru gives you, God gives you. So today I commit, I will fulfill everyone's expectation about me, with the realization that it is my own expectation about me; with this one cognition, with this one cognizance, with this one realization that it is my own expectation about me.

As I said, when I was sitting during the pada pooja today, I was feeling that there are some expectations of disciples which I am yet to fulfill. And that creates a certain uncomfortable zone among the people who live around me. So I was thinking, I as actually visualizing, 'How can I expand, to remove this feeling of discomfort? How can I be responsible? How can I take the responsibility for this 'discomfort zone' and heal it?' Then I decided that I am not going to give up on any one of them. I am only going to expand and stretch myself to fulfill their expectations about me.

When I was visualizing how I am going to do it, the bubble suddenly burst and I realized, 'Oh, God! This is my own expectation about me! I looked in and wondered how this was not revealed to me earlier. Then I realized that it was always there in me as an experience. Now it was getting revealed to me as a visualization, so that I can transmit that to all you guys.

Your own expectation about you is mamakara. How you show yourself to others is ahankara. How others expect you is anyakara. Living in your peak capacity, performing in your peak in all the three, expressing your peak potential in all the three, expressing your highest possible energy in all these three, is authenticity - shraddha.

Today's revelation should be celebrated as an important revelation. Understand, however much I was telling people to live up to others' expectations, many were not convinced. They were still carrying the thorn in the flesh - why, why, why? Like an ambulance siren! We were carrying it in our heart - why, why, why, why, why? See, if the why and if is added to your life, it becomes wife! So they would ask – why? And if you answer, they would ask – if...? I know, they why and if, why and if, why and if would constantly go on in their heads!

So beautiful! Today, Mahadeva revealed this truth that the other's expectation is not the other's expectation, it is our own suppressed part, our own suppressed component. Now I can understand how the truth reveals deeper and deeper truths when it is lived. I tell you, decide to live it. That is the best gift you can give to you. That is the greatest blessing you can do to you. The greatest blessing you can do to yourself is the decision to live these truths.

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

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!
