Your Idea of ‘You’ Creates🔗

Your Reality

Today, I will speak on the unique equation that exists between authenticity and the reality of your life.

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. Just as a film that is kept in front of the projector light is seen as reality on the screen, your mamakara (inner image) kept in front of Consciousness is seen as the reality in life. Authenticity expands the mamakara. Authenticity transforms the slide that is kept in front of the projector. So naturally, that transforms the mamakara.

When you start to constantly work on authenticity every day, you are reminded about expanding your mamakara - what you perceive as you, what you experience as you and what you feel as you. When you continuously expand what you feel as you, and when you are working on what you perceive as you, so many miraculous changes will happen in the way you experience your reality! Life will change. How life responds to you will change. How you perceive life will change. Everything will change!

With authenticity, you have to work on your inner image every day. I tell you - working on your inner image is excitement! Thinking that you cannot change your inner image anymore is boredom. As long as you are interested in developing your inner image, you continue to have life even if your body drops. The day you decide that you can't develop your inner image anymore, you are dead, even if your body is functioning! So develop the inner image. When you start developing your inner identity and that brings the result in the outer world, you will be excited to grow spiritually. Seeing that the transformation you make in the inner world is seen as a result in the outer world is spirituality!

The joy and the excitement you feel is because, the moment you start the transformation in the inner world, the outer world also changes. When you work on the inner identity, life is exciting. When you decide that you can't transform your inner world anymore, it is death. When you give up on you, even if you are still having the body, you are dead! When you don't give up on you, even if your body drops, you continue to live! Don't give up on you! Develop your inner identity through integrity

and authenticity.

Listen! If you consider your life as an industry, and your inner image as the product, how you project yourself to the outer world is marketing, and what others expect from you is feedback from customers! You should constantly get feedback and develop the product. This is the only way you will be alive in the market. If you are working with humanity, this is the law of life.

Constantly work on the mamakara; don't give up on you. The moment you stop getting feedback from customers and developing the product, you are dead! Only the tomb needs to be built on you; the coffin needs to be closed, that's all! Listen! However big your brand may be, however big you may be, even if you are a big established brand, if you stop receiving feedback from customers and developing your inner identity, society will start rejecting you!

People sometime ask me, ‘Why is it that many of the big traditional monasteries and religious organizations have become irrelevant to humanity and human beings?’

The reason is this: when you think that you are a big established brand and you don't need to get customer feedback and develop the product anymore, customers start rejecting you! They don't accept you just because you are a big brand. They do try you if you are a big brand, but only if they see that the product is worthy will they continuously consume it. Otherwise, they will dump it after trying it. If you don't take the customer feedback, the customers will be giving their feedback to others, which is very dangerous!

Listen! If you don't take the customer feedback, others will get the feedback! This is very dangerous. Even without you knowing it, your brand is destroyed. Even without you knowing it, you have already collapsed! That is a most unfortunate thing. If you want your life to be successful, then constantly get feedback from the customers. Get others' expectations about you. For all those who are involved in your life, get their expectations about you.

We all ask the question – 'Why should I fulfill others' expectations about me? The world has so much of selfishness. Why should I bother about what others want from me? Why?'

Listen! When you always want others to live as you want, and others to fulfill your expectations, is it not others' right to expect the same from you? Decide to do this, at least for whoever is involved in your life and in whose lives you are involved. Decide! Life is fulfilled only when you fulfill others' expectations; at least for those from whom you have an expectation.

You do not need to fulfill the expectation of a person from whom you have no expectation – like somebody on the street. But you have to fulfill the expectations of people from whom you have expectations. If you have an expectation about a person, then that person has the right to have an expectation about you. Listen! When you have an expectation from a person, they have a right to have an expectation from you.

I have taken the responsibility of so many disciples. Now I have to fulfill all of them. Now I have to be responsible for millions of disciples happening! Of course, I am taking the responsibility. So constantly expand your inner identity. Expanding the identity which you project as you to others, and taking the responsibility to fulfill what others expect from you, is authenticity.

I tell you, when you take responsibility to fulfill what others expect from you, the whole brahmaanda expresses through you, the whole cosmos expresses through you! You will have extraordinary powers, because it is directly seva - service to others. Whenever you serve others with a feeling of responsibility, without having any other motive, the cosmos celebrates your existence! It just celebrates your existence! When you decide to continuously expand your identity, the way you project yourself to others, and take responsibility to fulfill it, your reality suddenly starts changing. Your reality becomes better and better.

What is your reality? It is just your perception - your perception about what you feel as you, what you project to others as you, and what others expect about you. When you practice authenticity, you naturally have to continuously develop what you feel as you. The only way to develop your inner identity about you is through integrity. With more and more integrity, you will be purifying your inner image more deeply. When you take the responsibility to fulfill others’ expectation about you, you become more and more responsible.

Understand, when you start practicing authenticity, then integrity and responsibility also start happening automatically. And you can’t give up on you, so you have to continuously enrich you. So enriching also happens automatically. You can't give up on others, so you have to enrich them. So enriching others also happens automatically. I tell you - every day, improve the identity you carry about you by continuously developing your integrity.

Many teachers tell you, 'However much you listen, unless you practice, it won't help you.'

I tell you now, 'However much you try to practice, unless you listen, it won't help you!'

That is why I talk very slowly. Unless you give your authentic listening, you will not be able to listen; you will miss it. Only authentic listeners can listen to what I talk! When you are sitting in the satsang every morning, improve your listening and listen authentically. Only if you listen will practicing be possible. Authenticity starts with listening, continues with listening and continues with listening! Human beings miss life when they miss listening.

J. Krishnamurti says, 'Listening is God'. Buddha's first teaching is 'Right listening'. In Vedanta, the first principle is shravana – listening. The second principle is manana – intranalyzing. The third principle is nidhidhyaasana - living and radiating!

I request all the satsangis all over the world, take this as your life. Every morning during satsang, sit with authenticity and listen. Listen! You will see miraculous transformations happening in your body and mind. Listening is God! Just by listening, you experience God!

I want people to gather everywhere, in every village, and start practicing these four principles - integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching. This is the best way for human resource development. Indian youth need to be given training in integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching. When you teach integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching, and practice it in your life, the amount of joy you feel and the expansion you feel and the experience you feel is unimaginable! So much can be brought forth from your being just with these four principles!

All the youth who are watching the satsang now, I request all of you start groups in your villages to teach these four principles and develop human life! Village centers should be created which practice this dharma. Temples should be created. People should start living these principles everywhere! Satsang centers, teaching centers, ashrams and monasteries should be created. Hundreds of thousands of sadhus (holy men) who are living these principles should be created. Hundreds and thousands of volunteers who are teaching these principles should be created.

See, even now, the only idea which does not allow you to experience your maximum potential is this, 'Why should I do so much when others do not do as much for me?' Fool! If others do not do, they are the losers. If you do, you are the winner! I continue to radiate my authenticity, and I am going to expand my possibility for others, and my possibility for myself. Naturally, society has to respond authentically to me. There is no other way! Constantly expanding your possibility for you and your possibility for others is authenticity. Expand your possibility for you and your possibility for others. This whole sangha is a training ground to make you experience authenticity. Let authenticity become your muscle memory and bio-memory. Let you continuously enrich yourself.

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

Why you are not able to get out of failure? Because, a hundred times you have committed to yourself that you are going to be a failure. Then, naturally, your whole energy will be working only to fulfill the commitment you gave to you that you are a failure.
