The Tattvas - Nectar Pot Of Spirituality🔗

Tuesday, 12 March 2013

I will continue to expand on the four principles that are the essence of life: integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching. Today, I will also answer questions related to applying these four principles in your life.

From time immemorial, there are so many different scriptures, spiritual literatures and philosophies that have evolved on the planet earth. I can tell you from my experience that these four principles are literally the essence of all these spiritual scriptures, of all these spiritual truths.

Listen! Just like how the gods and demons churned the milky ocean and finally got the nectar pot, I can say that after churning the ocean of scriptures, the nectar pot I got to share with you all is these four principles.

Everything, whether it is physical health, mental wellness, successful business, success in the profession or enlightenment, ultimately everything can be achieved just with these four principles. Any problem of your life, any conflict in your life can be handled very practically, very efficiently, very skillfully, with these four principles. I can say with my entire experience that these four principles are the essence of all spiritual scriptures!

Listen! The first principle is integrity. Let me define integrity. Integrity means you fulfilling the word and thoughts you give to yourself and to others, and experiencing the state of poornatva, completion, with yourself and with life.

We all know honesty. Honesty is more like ethics, morality. But with the tattva of integrity, I am taking you a step deeper than honesty. With honesty, you only have to honor the words that you give to others. In integrity, you have to honor even the words that you give to yourself. Honesty is not integrity. Integrity is also honesty.

Listen! It is very unfortunate that society teaches you that you have to honor the words that you give to others, but forgets to teach you that you also have to honor the words that you give to yourself. The society treats you more like a utility. That is why it teaches you to honor the words that you give to society, but not the words that you give to yourself!

The words you give to yourself are as important as, or more important than, the words you give to others. Because the flow of your life - the amount of contentment that you feel in your life, the degree of fulfillment that you feel in your life and the experience of fulfillment that you feel in your life, everything depends on the words that you have given to you and the words which you have given to you.

Listen! The words you give to yourself form the bone structure of your life. If you commit with you that you will become a doctor, and if you don't honor that word, and you don't even bother to complete that word inside your heart, that word hangs inside you as a broken commitment given by you. When you break the commitments you give, you lose self-confidence.

The more commitments you give and break, the more your self-confidence is lost. You lose confidence in you. When you break the words given to others, it takes away their confidence in you, when you break the words you give to yourself, you lose confidence in yourself. When you don't honor the words you gave to yourself, and don't even bother to complete with them, the broken commitments that hang in your heart take away your self-confidence in life.

Listen! I will give you an example. If you give your word to somebody that you will give them ten lakh rupees, you have to honor that word as if it is your life! Do whatever it takes and get that money to them as per your commitment. If you know that even if you give your life, you will not be able to give them that money, at least tell them ahead of time that you will not be able to do what you said. Tell them that you are taking the word back, and you are completing with them about it. Even completion is integrity. Completion is also integrity.

Listen. Honoring is integrity. If you know that you cannot honor your commitment even if you give your life, only then can you go for completion. When you don't honor the commitments, the broken commitments take away the life happening to you. Life doesn't happen to you when you break the words you give to yourself and to others. When you break the words given to others, they lose confidence in you. When you break the words you give to yourself, you lose confidence in you!

In my life, I have seen, thousands of people who suffer with some form of addiction. Addiction does not mean addicted to alcohol or drugs or smoking. There are millions of addictions. There are some people who are addicted to talking. Some people are addicted to sleeping. Understand, those with addictions suffer more due to their low self-confidence than due to their addiction. A drug addict suffers more because of his broken self-confidence than his drug addiction. Again and again, he gives a word to himself that he will break the addiction pattern and come out of it, and again he falls into it!

Every time you honor the word you give yourself, self-confidence starts oozing in your muscle-memory and your bio-memory. When you honor the word you give to others, confidence oozes in your relationships. Others losing confidence in you takes away all the wealth of your life! You

losing confidence in you take away life itself from you! Please listen! Others losing confidence in you takes away the wealth of life from you! You losing confidence in you takes away life itself from you. How many of you are cognizing it?

When you break the words you give to others, they lose confidence in you. When you break the words you give yourself, you lose confidence in you. If you do not honor the words you give to yourself again and again, then the habit of not honoring the words you give yourself becomes part of your muscle-memory. Losing confidence over yourself becomes part of your muscle-memory. That is why even your will-power cannot heal your body.

I see this many times in my experience with people. Some people come out of even cancer with their will-power. Some people can't get out of their simple cough or headache, even with all their meditation and everything. It is because of the power of completion, integrity. If you are in integrity with you, any word you give yourself, even your muscles will listen to it.

The word you give yourself is the bone structure you form for your life. You have to honor it. If you are not able to honor it even by giving your life, at least you have to complete it. The words you utter towards yourself, the words you give to yourself, can be nectar or poison. The words you constantly repeat to yourself, the words you constantly tell yourself, have to be enriching you, inspiring you, exciting you and enlightening you. The words you give to you are aahara, what you consume to create life in you.

The first principle of life is integrity. When you start thinking and speaking with integrity, the ultimate possible inner cleaning happens.

Your inside becomes clean. Your antaryami, inner Presence, starts shining. Listen! As of now, your inner space is like an unattended, spoilt land with so many thorny bushes and weeds. That is why, whenever you make any decision in your business or any plan about your future, a corner of your mind always laughs at you and makes fun of you. It looks at you like a comedian. How much ever you try to be a hero, you judge yourself only as a comedian. You perceive yourself only as a comedian. You may struggle, struggle and struggle to be a hero, but you perceive yourself only as a comedian - because you constantly broke the words you gave yourself! When you plan now for your future, or you try to give any word to you, you yourself don't have confidence in you - because breaking the word you give yourself has already become your muscle memory. When you start thinking and speaking with integrity, the ultimate possibility and positivity happen in you!

Listen! You can run your life just in the level of mom- shop or pop-shop; that does not need great integrity. Because your whole investment is just a few hundred rupees, just a few dollars. Your whole income is just a few dollars or rupees. Then you may not need integrity. But if you want to live life - when I say life I mean LIFE - if you want to live life in a real way, then integrity, especially with yourself, is the first principle you need to start living.

Today, I will expand completely on this one principle, integrity.

Whether you are happening to life, or life is happening to you, is the question here. You can happen to life in your scale, or life can happen to you in its scale. When you try to take over life, when you try to take over the vishva, it is more like trying to possess life. When vishva tries to take your roopa, it is vishvaroopa, the experience of universal Life. When you try to take over vishva, you try to possess, politically manipulate and control. But when vishva tries to take your roopa, vishvaroopa happens. The word you give yourself should be honored as the very life, life, life!

Integrity with yourself is the first thing you need to do in your life. Now, sit and list out all the words you gave yourself which you did not honor. At least now, complete with them. Tell yourself that you will not be able to fulfill them or honor them. Free yourself from the word you gave yourself. When you complete or honor the word you gave to you, you experience tremendous self-confidence, which is the base of the life that happens in you. With integrity, your relationship with you and your relationship with sangha, your relationship with others, starts. Your family is also your sangha; your place of work is your sangha, your place of profession is your sangha. Your circle of friends is your sangha. Your Facebook friends are your Facebook sangha. Whatever you do with people becomes sangha. That is why satsanga becomes very important in your life.

If you are not in satsanga, be very clear that you are in dussanga (bad company). Either you are in satsangha or in dussanga. You can never be in nissanga until you are enlightened.

I want to repeat the essence of today's satsang. Identify wherever you are in integrity with the words you gave to others and to yourself. I repeat again and again, because you don’t listen! Until you listen, I will repeat, I will continue to repeat!

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

Every one of us is greedy for powers that leaders have, the powers that gods and higher souls have, but unfortunately no one wants to take the responsibility for it. I tell you: the world has abundance. Neither wealth nor extraordinary powers are restricted when you take responsibility. When you start becoming responsible, powers, wealth, spiritual powers, all the auspicious things, start expressing through you intensely.
