You Are Naturally Programmed For Success🔗

Wednesday, 20th February 2013

Today, I will expand on interconnectivity of these four tattvas. I will expand on how, when you start being integrated, so much of inner space is available for you. This naturally brings authenticity in you, and makes you take responsibility, and continue to enrich yourself and others.

Listen! When you start thinking with integrity, you will know your strong beliefs. One of the biggest problems human beings have is this - you love to be successful, but you deeply believe that you are a failure. Constantly, every one of you loves to be successful, but you deeply believe that you are a failure. This is one of the biggest paradoxes. This shows the lack of integrity in your thinking. How many of you cognize this? You love to be successful, but you deeply believe that you are a failure? That is one of the biggest problems. That is one of the biggest paradox that human beings suffer from.

Understand, some of your actions may be a failure, some of your decisions or dimensions may be a failure, but YOU are never a failure, because you are still breathing!

When you are inauthentic, when you have lack of integrity for your work, be there and take the heat; take responsibility. When you have not lost the inspiration to take responsibility, nothing is lost. I tell you, if you take responsibility, even death cannot come near you. Death waits for you to complete your responsibility. So for anybody who wants to live long, just practice authentic responsibility. When you take responsibility with authenticity, consciousness starts growing more intensely in the body! Shrinking does not happen. Consciousness growing in your body is enlightenment!

Please listen, something has to grow in your body

I tell you, even in the most critical moments of the organization, I take decisions completely based on being authentic. Authenticity is my strategy plan. Pick up authenticity as your strategy plan, in every moment of your life. Whether it is to do

with health, creativity, solving relationship problems, creating wealth or achieving inner fulfillment, have authenticity as your strategy plan.

Understand, others' anyakara about you has two dimensions - how they perceive you, and how they want you! How they perceive you now, and how they want you to be in their life. For example, they may perceive you as a fool and a cheat, but they may want you as intelligent and authentic! When you take responsibility for both parts of others' anyakara, life just oozes out of your ananda gandha, your blissful inner space.

Please listen: if you want your skin to shine, your eyes lit and your body radiating grace and joy, take responsibility for others' anyakara in both directions. If others perceive you as a cheat and fool, don't be angry. It means that you have not raised yourself in some way.

I tell you, the one who takes responsibility for the whole world's anyakara IS God. God takes responsibility for the anyakara of even atheists. That is why when they say God never helps, He never helps them, and makes sure that He fulfills even their anyakara!

Listen. Taking responsibility for what others perceive and what others want just makes life ooze, explode and express through you. Go on doing manana, contemplation. Catch every root pattern with which you suffer! Go on doing manana. Let every decision be out of authenticity and enriching, and not out of anything else, neither fear nor greed. Do not function out of any other cognizance other than authenticity and responsibility. Continuously complete.

The first thing to do completion is for you to be in your regular routine. You have to grease the machine every day! Completion is like lubricating the machine. You cannot stop the machine and lubricate. The machine has to be running when you lubricate. You cannot say, 'Let us stop the machine and the whole factory. When you start it again, the heat is only going to increase. Only when the machine is running, can you find out if the lubrication is strong enough or not. So, the completion has to be done as part of your life-routine. Not otherwise. The idea that you have to take off time to do completion is completely wrong. The machine has to be running and the lubrication has to be done continuously. Again and again I want to remind you - life has no training period! Only in the games do you have training and then the actual game. Life has no training period.

A small story...

There was an eating competition in one village. There were about twenty fellows who were participating, and everyone started eating – five hundred idlis, fifty banana, a hundred liters of juice! One fellow came first; the second fellow missed by just one idli. Everybody asked him, 'Why did you miss the prize just by one idli?' He said, 'Everything went well when I was doing the rehearsal this morning, but I somehow missed it now!'

So if you are waiting for training in life, you miss actual life. Life is not like football, volleyball and cricket, where the training ground is different and the playing ground is different. Life is like an eating competition

With integrity, you will literally clean your inner space of the constant unwanted beliefs that you carry, like the strong belief that you will be a failure. This continuous belief leads you towards failure! When you start thinking with integrity, you will diagnose those self-fulfilling negative prophecies that you constantly give yourself.

How many of you behave like a self-fulfilling negative astrologer for yourself? You go on telling yourself, ‘My time is not good, I will not be able to do anything,’ and even after you do it, you start believing so strongly that you fulfill it. Each one of you is your own self-fulfilling negative astrologer. You are the astrologer for you, you are the trainer for you and you are the judge for you! You first give the self-fulfilling prophecy, ‘I am a failure’. Then you train yourself for that, so that even the Guru should not make you successful, by mistake! And you wait for those kinds of responses from society. You do not bother about the support you receive, but you are haunted by the discouragement you get, because you are training yourself to be a failure!

So who is the decision-maker in your life? First, you are an astrologer who declares that you are a failure. Then, you are a trainer who trains you to be a failure, and if failure does not come even then, you become a judge and declare that you are a failure!

When even a small thing happens, you immediately declare failure. How many of you authentically cognize that you do this? We go on doing this. The first thing to do is to declare your integrity, not your failure. Declare your integrity. When you start thinking with integrity, you will diagnose your own self-fulfilling negative prophecies.

When you are about to get into the car, you declare to yourself that you are going to have an accident. Then while you drive, you train yourself to continuously sleep. Even after that, an accident does not happen but maybe you just hit one corner of the road and the car stops. Nothing happens to you or the car, but you say, 'I told you that accident will happen! Now see what happened!' The power of integrity will teach you to diagnose these self-fulfilling negative prophecies.

Sometimes, you take up failure as a self-sympathy creating mechanism. Or you think that you have to work for success, but failure is natural! How many of you think that you have to work for success, but failure comes naturally? Raise your hand. NO! Success is natural; you have to work for failure. Bring integrity; you will understand that success is the natural flow of your life.

Krishna says very beautifully, 'By nature, the senses are tuned to be extrovert' - active, alive and creating. I give you a different interpretation. 'Extrovert' is not something negative. Extrovert senses will always be alive, creative, active and contributing. All great creative persons took the responsibility for their extrovert senses.

Listen, listen! The senses are extrovert, flowing naturally. By nature, they function towards achieving. They naturally flow towards achieving. It means that are programmed by nature to be successful. The natural programming is for you to be successful. Lack of integrity allows the poison of self-fulfilling negative prophecies to grow in your system. I tell you, the first thing a human being needs to do is weed out all self-fulfilling negative prophecies.

How many of you feel that you need to weed out the self-fulfilling negative prophecies you carry in you? Understand, the can be weeded out only when you are functioning in your daily routine. When you take time off, all those weeds will just disappear. Only when you are working tightly in your everyday routine, you will discover those self-fulfilling false negative prophecies. How many of you are able to cognize this truth? Try to take off for few days; all those negative self-fulfilling prophecies will hide themselves in some unconscious decisions.

Listen! Not fulfilling your everyday commitments will only make the weeds hide behind your unconscious patterns. Vivekananda is very very clear, yoga can happen in you, only along with responsible actions. karma yoga does not happen without responsible actions.

Sometimes, you execute actions the whole day, but there is no feeling of responsibility for it!

In Tamil there is a proverb, 'naayikku velai illai, nikka neramum illai,' the dog has no job, but it does not have the time to even stand still! This is what action without responsibility is. How many of you authentically cognize that you are stuck with the pattern of action with no responsibility?

Sri Ramakrishna gives a very beautiful example

The first thing a human being needs to know is how to weed out the negative self-fulfilling prophecies. Integrity makes you aware of negative self-fulfilling prophecies. Self-fulfilling negative prophecies are the iron chains tied to your leg. Nothing moves in your life, even if you are pushed. Just imagine an elephant whose legs are tied with chains and a big iron ball! It has to be pushed, and even then it moves with restriction. Self-fulfilling negative prophecies are like that. They are the weight on your inner space.

Integrity is the only way you can even find those negative self-fulfilling prophecies and weed them out. If you start looking in, you will naturally not give life to your negative self-fulfilling prophecies. If you start looking at your negative self-fulfilling

prophecies even for ten days, they will die. Understand, a tree that has grown for a thousand years takes only a few minutes to die if you pour acid on its roots. Integrity is the acid that can destroy the weeds of negative self-fulfilling prophecies in you. Thinking with integrity removes the weeds of negativity.

You do not need courage to remove negativity, you just need awareness to remove negativity. The moment you think you need courage to remove negativity, you are caught in the wrong fight. You only need awareness to remove negativity. If you think you need courage, it is like bringing an atom bomb to fight with your shadow! If you throw an atom bomb, who is going to die? You are also going to die. You just need a torch to fight with your shadow, not an atom bomb. You just need the torch of integrity to fight your negativity.

If you have a strong idea or belief what you are doing is going to be a failure, the moment you think that it is a failure, it is a commitment and word you are giving to you. Do you understand? So if you give that word, you naturally have to fulfill it. Do you want to fulfill that word? No. Then tell yourself that I am not going to fulfill it. It means that whenever you have a thought, ‘I am a failure,’ you should know - this is a commitment I am making to me, and I have to honor it. You may say that it comes on its own. Then complete it! Consciously disown and complete with it.

If it comes back, do this again. How many times will it come back? Practice it. Your belief is not required; only your cognizance is required. Have you cognized theoretically? Now apply this mechanical process; then come back to me with the result. This is a homework for you. Practice this for 48 hours, cognizance this and get back to me.

'Athaatho brahma jijnaasa' - let us inquire into reality. With this clarity, let us enter. You neither need to believe my extreme nor your extreme. Let us inquire. Clear? How many of you did not try this earlier, after trying these four tattvas? It means you have not tried these four tattvas also. If you have driven from Bangalore to Mysore, you would have hit Ramanagara. But you sat in Bangalore and changed the name of your board to Mysore. Changing your name-board to Mysore does not mean you reached Mysore.

Understand, all of you carry that negative cognizance inside. Listen:

work not done plus valid reasons is not equivalent to work done!

The essence of the whole satsang is this. Integrity removes the self-fulfilling negative prophecies in your life, in your cognizance, in your inner space! When you start something new, if you decide to remove the negative cognizance, you will suddenly have the courage to grasp the whole scene.

Whenever you give a commitment, you will knowingly or unknowingly fulfill it. So complete it and say, 'No, I am not going to be this way, I am going to give the fulfillment as a cognition.' When you do this again and again, do you think it will come up again? If you do it, it will not come up again.

That's all I am saying!

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, 'Nithayananda'!

Listen!

Bring integrity to you, you are always worthy of nice things! You don't need to achieve something to have nice things. Have the best things of the world as your lifestyle. Resting out of tiredness is not the best thing for you to have. Resting out of completion is the best thing for you to have!
