Today I will speak on how being in integrity expands your relationships with others. Yesterday I was expanding on how integrity directly creates a relationship with you.

Please listen. Relationship is of different levels. The first level is being able to sit with you and be in peace with you and in completion with you.

You need to understand integrity. I will give the explanation once more. integrity is the most powerful, profound, immediate solution.

First, integrity makes you feel comfortable with you, because completion makes you feel comfortable with you. When you are complete with you, so many wonderful things start happening. Completion with you means that the possibility for creating new disease disappears. All the disease you create newly is from the source of incompletion. integrity stops you from creating new disease. Authenticity heals even the disease you created earlier. When you start thinking with integrity, with awareness, every word you give yourself becomes a commitment that you give yourself. It means that every desire you have is a commitment you have given to yourself!

So listen! When you know that every word you give yourself is a commitment you make with you, and you have to honor it, you will only give conscious commitments to you, you will only say conscious words to you.

It’s really unfortunate! You have so much knowledge and awareness about so many things happening in so many places around the world, but you do not have the knowledge about what is happening inside you. You are not aware of what is happening inside you!

When you bring integrity in your thinking, the first thing is that you will know what is happening inside you. integrity makes you feel comfortable with you, because completion makes you feel comfortable with you. If you have not honored the words you give to yourself, they remain as a hangover in you and continue to burn you with incompletion. If you don’t honor the words you give to yourself, you lose self-confidence and self-respect. If you don’t honor the words you give to others, you will lose others’ confidence in you and their respect over you.

Listen! Everything in your life is the totality of honoring the words you give to yourself and to others, because the respect you carry for you and the respect others carry for you, the confidence you have on you and the confidence others have for you - these two put together is your life.

When you honor the word you give to others, not only will they have confidence and respect for you, but even the relationship itself exists only then. Please understand, each human being carries so much of energy that even if you have an integrated relationship with only one human being, your life can be different. Every person with whom you have an integrated relationship adds strength to you - not just mentally, like confidence, moral boost or social power; but even consciously. They add strength to you.

If you are having an integrated relationship with your mother, she consciously adds strength to you. If you have an integrated relationship with your father, he consciously adds strength to you. Every individual with whom you have an integrated relationship consciously enriches you.

Listen! When you have incompletion with your mother, there is every possibility that the left part of your body will be paralyzed in the latter parts of your life. If you have incompletion with your father, the right part can get paralyzed. Because it is your mother’s bio-memory and your father’s bio-energy that you carry in your body!

You need to know that relationships are not something external. It is an expression of yourself, how you feel with you. The relationship you carry with you is projected as the relationship with the

world. Just visualize. If everyone who relates with you is integrated, how happy your life will be! Whenever they are not integrated, how much you have suffered!

When you bring integrity by either honoring or completing the word you give to others, others will have so much confidence in you, and you will have so much confidence in others. The conflicts in your life will drop drastically.

When you bring integrity, the conflicts in your life will drop drastically. Success happens in life, fulfillment happens in life, when the conflicts reduce. When the conflicts reduce, life energy starts oozing in you.

Unfortunately, human beings don't look for permanent, real solutions. They only want consolation, not solutions. That is the main reason why the teachers who give temporary solutions are more popular; it feels more like a fast-food restaurant! But I tell you, permanent solutions are easier and quicker than temporary solutions. The mind which goes for temporary solutions has a certain sickness, and will not execute even the temporary solutions. If you are asking for temporary solutions, that itself shows that your mind suffers with the laziness pattern, the boredom pattern which will not allow you to practice even simple, temporary solutions.

I tell you, even though the permanent solutions look like they may take time, if you start living them, they are real, instantaneous solutions; they give results immediately. And for short-term solutions, because of the loopholes in them, and because the mind which asks for short-term solutions has an innate boredom and laziness to transform itself, it will not allow you to practice even the short-term solutions. How many of you picked up yoga or gym or running as a short-term solution for a certain problem? You will see that you will not be doing it for more than a few days! I can guarantee you.

Listen! I am giving you permanent, but instantaneous, immediate solutions. Listen! These words are not the words you need to practice for years to get results. Start practicing integrity now. From today, you will see the confidence of others in you, and your own confidence in you. Because integrity is such a powerful process, the moment you are integrated, everyone around you knows you are living in integrity.

Listen! Permanent solutions are easier and quicker than temporary solutions, because the mind from which you receive temporary solutions is itself not in integrity. So any solution it gives will not be a real solution. Decide the solutions only based on solving the problem, eternally.

I tell you, when you bring integrity in your relationship with others, honoring the words you gave or completing the words you gave, the way others look at you will be transformed immediately. How many of you experienced this in your life, when you restored integrity with others? The way they look at you is immediately transformed, and the way you look at you is transformed. integrity directly restores the way you look at you and the way you look at others. Lack of integrity makes

even an institution as individual, lonely and alone. integrity makes even one individual an organized organization.

Listen! Lack of integrity makes even an organization into broken, lonely individuals. integrity can make even one individual an organized organism. When you live integrity, you go on expanding in your view and you go on expanding in others' view.

How many of you felt so much self-confidence and self-respect when you started living in integrity with you and others? This self-confidence is called atma bala, the strength that comes from the self. Completion with yourself is the strength of the atman. When you bring integrity in yourself, the way others look at you will transform immediately. integrity brings so much of strength and power in you.

In an earlier Kumbh Mela, I saw a sadhu (holy man) living with one hand raised for more than ten years! I asked him, 'Why did you take up this tapas?' There are so many kinds of tapas! For example, there is another sadhu who has been standing on one leg for the last twelve years! So I asked him, 'Why did you take up this tapas?' He said that he used to study Bhagavad Gita under his Guru. One day, he slept during the class. So his Guru told him, 'Keep your hand raised, so that you will not fall asleep!' So the Guru gave him this instruction. This man kept his hand up so that he will not fall asleep. And before the class ended, the Guru suddenly had a heart attack and attained mahasamadhi; he passed away! The sadhu told me, 'Because my Guru has not told me to drop my hand, I cannot drop my hand. He told me to keep my hand up. That's it.' And he is still keeping his hand up, and he says he has conquered sleep completely!

When I met him he must have been around sixty. He had been keeping his hand raised for the last thirty years! I could see one thing in him - such power of integrity. I could see that his tongue had vak-siddhi. He is a siddha purusha. Because of his commitment to himself, because of his integrity, he had developed vak- siddhi, in the course of his tapas period.

I tell you, these are extremes. I am not even asking you to go to these extremes. All I am saying is that when you bring integrity in your relationships, honoring the words you give to others and yourself, the friendliness in your relationships suddenly increases. Demands in your relationships break the relationships and make them dry. Friendliness in your relationships adds juice to the relationship and keeps it stable and growing. Above all, the relationships become worthy of living.

When you bring integrity in your relationship with others, it goes on expanding you. integrity is nothing but conscious planning, for completion of your life. Now, your life is like a car without a GPS. You don't know where you have to reach, you don't know which direction you have to go, and you have a vehicle which you cannot get down from, when you are driving! Even if you reach, it is more like an accident! integrity is like knowing the direction, the goal, having the GPS and driving consciously. You know for sure that you will reach it. If you reach without integrity, it is an accident. If you do not reach with integrity, it is an accident!

Without integrity, you don't even know where you are going, and at what speed you are driving. You see a huge hill in front of you and if you continue to drive, you may go and hit the hill! But you still imagine that you will reach a beach to have a vacation! The possibilities you create and the will you have are not only unaligned, they are traveling in opposite directions! You try to realize paradoxes as paradises. In lack of integrity, you do not know the difference between paradise and paradox.

I tell you, only when you bring integrity, will you even know the real purpose of your life, the real purpose of each relationship in your life, the real purpose of why you should have money, why you should have relationships, why you should have meditation, why you should have a Guru, why you should have whatever you need to have. All of that will become clear only when you have integrity.

Essence of what I wanted to share with you all today is this. Bringing integrity with others is the only way relationships can be created. And it is not a long-term process or long-term solution; it is an immediate solution, a permanent solution. We always think that a long-term solution means that it is also very difficult to execute. This is not true! Here, integrity is the permanent and immediate solution, which you can practice now.

Only when you start living these tattvas in your life, and pull these tattvas into your life, does life start happening in you. All of you please understand these four tattvas and start living them.

All my blessings are with you. Let all of you have successful relationships, wealth, health, the space of positivity, possibility, leadership and enlightenment. I am with you all!

Any conflict experienced in your inner space reminds your inauthenticities in relationships to you. When you have the idea that relationships are nothing but what you experience with a few people, you have very nar-row, low ideas. When you bring integrity, it will heal the ignorance you had in the zone of relationships.
