Technique For Integrity🔗

Today, I am receiving pictures from all over the world, from the people doing svapoornatva, the completion technique. I am so happy that all you guys have completed svapoornatva. Only when the completion happens, you will learn to listen.

When you listen, you understand, you become God. Listening makes you God! Only God can make you God. Nothing else can make you God. Only diamond can cut the diamond! Earlier, I used to think that listening about spiritual truths is God. When I became enlightened, I realized – No. Any listening is God. If you are listening to the sparrow's sound now without giving any meaning to it - just pure listening – that is God. Only if you learn pure listening, you will also be able to learn and give the right meaning.

Understand, pure listening happens only when you start listening to you. When you start listening to you, integrity happens in you. Integrity means honoring every word you utter to yourself and others.

For example, suppose you utter a word, 'I commit with me that I will attend morning yoga properly'. Then, you should give your life to fulfill it. The commitment you make to others is word, the commitment you make to yourself is thought. The commitment you make to others is word and the commitment you make to yourself is thought.

Almost all the time, you use very loose words inside you and outside you. Whenever certain people come and tell me, 'I surrender to you,' I laugh at them. We use loose words; we speak so casually. Each word you utter and honor integrates you, strengthens you. Each time you don't respect or honor your word, you are weakened. Understand, each time you honor the words you give to others, their confidence in you grows. Each time you honor the word you give to yourself, your confidence in you grows. Success is nothing but you having confidence in you and others having confidence in you. That is all. Life is complete. You having confidence in you and others having confidence in you is success.

As a mark of this commitment, I will decide. From today, I will wear a wristwatch. I am going to wear a wristwatch to remind me about my commitment. I never respected time. The understanding - 'Time is a lie' is true from the space of enlightenment. But when you come down to play inside time and space, you should that feel that time is God; time

is the embodiment of God. Only then, you can play.

Each time you honor you word to others, others' confidence in you grows. Each time you honor your word to yourself, your confidence in you grows. Be very clear, you don't have to commit to a promise which you can't fulfill. But if you commit, fulfill it. Integrity does not mean only fulfilling the word you utter in front of people. Integrity is honoring the words and thoughts which happen inside you, even when you are in your bedroom or bathroom, where nobody is there. The number of thoughts you have drastically drops, because you have to think through every thought. Before a thought arises, you have to go and consciously erase it - this is not, this is not, this is not the word I am going to commit to myself. Integrity is the basic requirement for unclutching. It is a basic requirement for unclutching!

When you become integrated in every thought, you become responsible. Suddenly, the number of thoughts drops drastically. Live with integrity, live with authenticity. Drill, drill, drill! Bring integrity again and again and again. Only when the polar - the priest who does the pooja respects time and brings integrity, the mantra he chants becomes reality. He says, 'Let there be peace in the world!' If he does not have integrity, how are his words going to become a reality? If he is with integrity and authenticity, he is a pure Brahman. His word will become reality!

Today, I give you the next process for all of you - all the words you utter to yourself, and all the words you utter to others, you will do both with integrity. This is today's assignment. First, look into your life and identify at least ten areas of your life where you have given your word, where you have given a promise to fulfill something. You might have fulfilled it or you might not have fulfilled it. That is a different thing. First, pen down the areas where you gave a word. Second, pen down the areas where you did not fulfill your word. Third, pen down how you can repair all those areas and restore your word. Come up with each understanding. A rishi is one who is living these great sacred truths in life.

Let everything you do be with integrity and authenticity. You yourself can decide. In my sangha, if you are wearing just a kava colored shawl, it means that you are still practicing integrity and authenticity. If you are wearing full-kava color, then you are living integrity and authenticity. If you feel that you still need time to practice, there is nothing wrong. Even if you drop your full-kava and move to kava shawl, it is perfect. But complete, complete, complete, complete. And in the same way, I declare that if any ashramite comes to me with their request, declaring with integrity and authenticity that they are living a celibate life, I will ordain them with full-kava. Having ordained them, I will give the responsibility back to them. Of course, if you are a rishis, already committed with your spouse, unless you complete that commitment, you cannot take this up.

So make the three lists. First, all the areas where you have given a word to others and to yourself. Second, the areas you have not completed or fulfilled your word to others and to yourself. Third, what you can do to complete those commitments to others, and to yourself. Either complete it by

action, or if you can't, at least complete with them by informing them, ‘I will not be able to fulfill my word, and I take it back. Please accept my apologies. I want to clean up the mess I created with my words. You please go ahead with your next plans. Let you not depend on the words I gave you. Let your life not have the mess and interference of the words I gave you.’ Completion is also integrity. Completion is a basic need; only then, your life starts.

Shiva is the perfect symbol of these four tattvas. The damaru (drum) in Shiva’s hand is integrity; the fire is authenticity. People ask, What is responsibility? The abhaya-hastha, the blessing hand, is responsibility. The hand with which he is holding Devi and teaching her - that is enriching. All the four hands of Mahadeva do the job of integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching others.

I bless you all to achieve success in the completion process. I bless you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, ‘Nithyananda’!

Not having a hangover with the words you committed with you, and with others, is integrity. It is not morality or ethics. Morality and ethics vary from time to time. Integrity is absolute!
