KNOW YOUR REAL ENEMY🔗

TUESDAY, 02ND APRIL, 2013

Reality is nothing but your alliance with the Real.

Listen: it is not your experience of the Real, it is your alliance with the Real. Whatever is real, whatever you need to experience, is there on one side. Whatever you want to experience is there on the other side. These two having an alliance and coming to a conclusion is Reality.

Many times, people think that all these intellectual truths and ideas are not required. I tell you - No! Your whole life is nothing but intellectual clarity. You don't go and put your hand in the electricity socket. Why? Because you know that you will be killed. Why don't you go and put your hand in the fire? Because you know that you will be killed. So intellectual clarity, intellectual understanding, is required for life.

If somebody is teaching you that all these big principles and intellectual jugglery is not required, then know that they are trying to keep you in darkness. Maybe they do not know how to expand and explain these principles. Or they do not have the patience to understand or make you understand.

Please listen: just like there are simple rules like 'Don't touch fire and you will not be burnt,' in the same way, simple rules exist to be out of suffering. Simple rules exist to be successful. It is so unfortunate that you are never allowed to believe that there are simple rules existing to be out of suffering and to be in completion and to be successful. Are you struggling in a big way not to be burnt by the fire and not to be electrocuted? No! You don't struggle! It becomes your lifestyle when you understand and start living.

Listen, in the same way, there are simple rules to make what you want as reality, to make your life as you want, and to be successful in life. It is so unfortunate that neither have we been told that it is possible, nor do we try to make it possible. So we continue to suffer, and we think, 'All this knowledge, all these ideas, are not for me! I am an ordinary housewife. I am an ordinary man, a householder. How will I be able to understand all these things?'

Can you say, 'I am an ordinary electrician; how can I understand about electricity? It's okay, let me be electrocuted'? No! 'I am an ordinary housewife, I

just cook everyday. How do I know anything about fire? Let me get burnt.’ You can’t say this. When you are going to cook, you learn the rules and you learn how to handle fire. When you are about to become an electrician, you learn the rules of electricity. Better learn to make your reality before you enter your life! And you can learn. That is the good news. It is not as difficult as was told to you. That is the good news. Reality is nothing but your alliance with the Real.

How many of you cognize this? Listen! How many of you cognize all this? The moment these big truths which need to be realized are told to you, you shut yourself off! You say, ‘This is not for me. I can’t understand. Even if I understand, I can’t practice all of this. I tried. This is not going to work for me.’ How many of you shut yourself off like this?

Understand, this is the way you keep yourself out of spiritual truths and transformation and spiritual realization. You don’t say, ‘Oh, how to be out of the fire? I can’t understand all this. I am an ordinary cook. I will go and cook and get burnt.’ No! You learn about the fire when you want to cook. You learn about electricity when you want to be an electrician. Why can’t you learn about life when you want to live? Learn.

The first truth I wanted to share with you today is, ‘Reality is your alliance with the Real’. If you are more powerful than what you consider as real, you can manipulate the reality. You can make reality as you want. Your word will change the world. Until then, the world will be changing your word.

You need to know that there are simple solutions which exist for any problem you have in your life. It can be as difficult as you imagine. And you can’t imagine! Most of the time, you suffer with fears which you can’t imagine. What you can imagine is always a solvable problem. That is why you constantly carry the fear of unsolvable problems.

It is so sad that the owner of the house has to have an alliance with the mosquitoes and lizards that come to occupy the house! That is what your status is! You are the owner of the reality, but you have made an alliance with the illusion and delusion which came to occupy the reality – like the mosquitoes and lizards in your house! If you, being the owner of your house, make an agreement with the weeds, mosquitoes and lizards which come to occupy your house, how foolish is that?

In the same way, all the problems in your life come to occupy your life. You are the owner of your life. Don't have an alliance or agreement with your problems out of your ignorance. You say, 'No, I built the house, but before I came and started living in it, they all came and started living here. They are all senior to me. How will I be able to drive them out? And even if I drive them out of one room, they go and stay in another room. If I drive them out of that room, they go to another room. If I call the police, they are not helping me either!'

You need to know that you don't need a police department, you don't need 911, for mosquitoes and lizards! You just need mosquito repellant coil and insect spray, that's all! First drop the wrong

concepts and ideas you carry about your problems. They are not more powerful than you. They are not the owners of your life. You are the owner. Don't try to have an alliance with the illegal occupants of your own house. Don't give them too much power.

The first thing you need to understand is this: you are not able to make what you want as reality because of your ignorance, not because of not having energy. It is not powerlessness. It is ignorance. You have enough power and enough energy. It is your ignorance which is responsible for your suffering.

Many times you think that powerlessness is the reason for your suffering. You think that even though you know what your problem is, you can't change it. That is wrong! How many of you think that you know the reason for your problems, but you still can't change it? You are wrong. You still don't know the reason for your problems. Only ignorance can be the reason for all suffering. You are powerful enough! You are powerful enough to utter both the right word and the wrong word. It is out of ignorance that you utter the wrong word.

If you think you know the reason why you are not able to change, but you are not powerful enough to change things what you want, that is the first mistake you are making. Your enemy makes you feel that somebody else is your enemy, and he goes on winning the game by attacking you. Because you are thinking that somebody else is your enemy, you are fighting with your imaginary enemy. If you think you know why you have problems, why you are powerless to transform, you are wrong. You don't know – that is the real problem. Ignorance is your enemy.

Listen! Powerlessness is not your enemy. Lack of energy is not your enemy. ‘You are powerless’ is an idea given to you to keep you from discovering your real enemy. You are powerful enough. You are empowered enough to live and face life. Only ignorance is your enemy. The first thing you need to know is this: you are powerful enough to make what you want as reality. You are only ignorant.

If you think you are powerless, you will be working to achieve power, which means you are working in the wrong direction. You need to work to get knowledge, not power. You have enough power. Sometimes you have too much power, and you use that same power to bind yourself. You have too much rope, and you think, how can I waste it?

Authenticity first helps you identify your real enemy. Your real enemy is ignorance, not powerlessness. I have seen people fighting with wrong enemies their whole life. When you feel that you don’t have power, you take up many

paths, which will really not solve the issue. Everybody thinks that if you have miraculous powers, siddhis, you will immediately solve all the problems of your life. No! I have seen some hatha yogis, they are so powerful - but that does not mean they have solved their problems. It does not mean that they made whatever they want become a reality in their life, because they are caught with the wrong enemy.

Ignorance is your real enemy, and it is nicely diverting your attention, saying, ‘Powerlessness is your enemy. Do you know the reason why you are not able to project what you want? Powerlessness! Go catch power, have more power.’ But the reality is, you are already suffering with too much power.

Authenticity will help you identify your real enemy. Your real enemy is not powerlessness; it is ignorance. I am able to awaken the kundalini of thousands of people just by giving them the right knowledge! When the right knowledge is given, anybody can immediately experience kundalini awakening. There is no such thing as powerlessness.

What is authenticity? Building your own identity about you to the peak! What do you want to become? Every one of you, deep down, has a fantasy about you becoming all-powerful, all-knowing, sarvajna. So now build that peak inner image, and project the peak outer image, and take the responsibility to fulfill others’ image about you, that’s all. That’s all!

I tell you, authenticity is the strategy plan for your life. The quality of cunningness may be useful for a short time - a few days, a few years, or a few lives, but not for all lives! If you learn and develop the quality of authenticity, it is the strategy planning for lives after lives after lives.

I tell you, make authenticity as a pattern in you, as the strategy planning in you, as a strategy planning truth in you. It will be the greatest service you will be doing to yourself for lives after lives after lives. That will be the right thing you will be doing to yourself for lives after lives after lives.

For any problem you have, look for the solution in the direction of knowledge, not in the direction of power or infrastructure.

Know the real enemy. You will solve your problems.

Authenticity is the right ingredient with which your inner personality can be built. The material with which you build is going to decide the longevity and the strength of the building. In the same way, the material with which you build your cognition decides the strength of your being. Authenticity is a granite construction. It is the ultimate material with which you can build your cognition.

When you bring authenticity, you will realize that you have the wrong inner image, that is why you are suffering with a wrong outer image and a wrong image of others. If you think that your wrong outer image and wrong image of others is the problem, you are powerless to change both, to fulfill both. Only when you understand that your wrong inner image is the source of the problem, you will understand that only authenticity can solve the issue.

If you have a fever, only medicine can solve the issue, not a million dollars. You say, ‘See, I have a million dollars, but my fever is not going down’. You just need two dollars to get the medicine and have it. But at the end of the day, only medicine is going to clear the fever, not a million dollars. A million dollars may help you get the medicine. Sometimes the million dollars itself will be the reason for the fever! You may be suffering too much with it, you may be too stressed about it.

So don’t have ignorance about your enemy. Ignorance about your enemy is the worst enemy. Not knowing the right enemy is the worst enemy. Have the knowledge about who is your right enemy.

When you build your personality with authenticity, when you start practicing authenticity, you will realize the truth that your wrong inner image is your real enemy, and that can be cleared only by knowledge, not by power. What you need immediately is knowledge, not power.

It is on your mamakara, your inner image, that you need to work. I go one step further and tell you - I am not promoting any superstition, but if you want money in the outer world, relationships in the outer world, anything in the outer world, first sit and alter the inner world. I am not asking you not to work in the outer world. Alter the inner world. You will know how to work rightly. You will work and have what you want. If you are directly trying to attract or attack the outer world, you are in the wrong gear.

With the reverse gear, no matter how much you press the accelerator, you are only going to go back. Just change to the right gear first, and then you can press the accelerator.

We are all so busy that we think, 'Oh, I am not pressing the accelerator hard enough, that is why the vehicle is not going forward!' Fool! Change the gear! You press the accelerator with more force and you even pour in more petrol! You check everything other than the gear! Just unclutch and change the gear! Your tank is already full. You are already pressing the accelerator to the maximum. Your problem is ignorance, not powerlessness.

Changing the reverse gear into the right gear is nothing but working on your mamakara. Pressing the accelerator more and more is like projecting your ahankara. Pouring in more petrol is like trying to fulfill others' anyakara. All that is not going to directly help you now. The first thing you need to do is change the gear, for heaven's sake! Work on

your mamakara!

The essence of today's satsang is: whatever you may think as your problem in life, you need to work on your inner image about you. You need to learn authenticity. Any other effort you are making is only like pressing the accelerator, or pouring in more and more petrol without changing the gear, and expecting the vehicle to go forward in reverse gear! Move your vehicle in the forward direction!

Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you!

When you expand what you think of as you, you directly expand what you project as you, and also expand and fulfill what others expect from you. Your mamakara kept in front of Consciousness is seen as the reality in life. Authenticity expands the mamakara and transforms your reality!
