Unlocking The Power Feeling🔗

The Power of Feeling is nothing but your ability to realize yourself as the source of all the happenings in your life. This understanding gives you tremendous control over your own life and gives you the power to be a positive influence in the life of others.

The Power of Feeling is unlocked when you recognize yourself as a leader and take responsibility for everything in and around you! Responsibility is the key that unlocks the Power of Feeling.

Responsibility means living and responding to life from the truth that you are the Source of, and therefore responsible for, all happenings in and around you.

ANYBODY & EVERYBODY

Here is a small story which we all know!

Once upon a time there were four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

Once there was an important job to be done. But who was to do it?

Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that

Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done!

A person who does not feel responsible even for his own actions lives like an animal

Even though your actions are not responsible for something, taking responsibility even for others' inauthenticity and irresponsibility makes you a leader.

When we hear about taking responsibility for everything, the biggest question we have in our minds is, 'How can I be responsible for everything happening AROUND me?

I understand that I can be held responsible what is happening INSIDE me. How can I be held responsible for what is happening OUTSIDE me? For example, if an accident happens in my life, how can I be responsible?'

Everybody asks this question!

Listen: there is an important difference between being the CAUSE of something, and being RESPONSIBLE for it!

Sometimes you may not be the reason for a certain happening, but if it is affecting your life, you ARE responsible for that happening. For example, you may not be the cause of political corruption in your country, but as a citizen of the country, you ARE responsible for it! As per your logic, you may not be the reason for it, but that doesn't mean that you are not responsible in truth.

You need to know that unless you take responsibility, you are neither going to improve the situation, nor are you going to expand your inner space.

You always believe that you are suffocated by your smallness. NO! You are suffocated by your bigness! Whenever bigness is demanded of you, whenever you feel you are being 'forced' to expand, you shrink even further into your comfort zone. Your tiredness, your weakness, your powerlessness all these are nothing but the resistance you have to seeing your own bigness!

That is why, when someone tells you that you are weak, poor and a sinner, it is so easy to accept it. But if someone tells you that you are divine, you are powerful, you are complete, your whole identity starts trembling with fear!

But life always demands your expansion, because expansion is the natural law of life. That is why you carry such a deep fear of life, especially life in the form of other people - because people are the most living expression of Life! The more you engage with life, the greater the expansion that will be demanded of you. Whenever you are feeling weak, tired, powerless, the first thing you should do is this: immediately take on ten responsibilities and commit to fulfil them within an impossibly short time! Shake your inner space so powerfully with that commitment that there will be no way for weakness and tiredness to grow inside you.

We always feel that responsibility is a burden.

NO! It is a power!

Responsibility directly leads you to leadership consciousness.

As long as you feel responsible only for your family, you remain as the head of just your family. When you feel responsible for the community, you become a leader of the community. As your feeling of responsibility expands, your leadership quality also expands. The decision to feel responsible for the whole Cosmos is enlightenment!

Feeling responsible for the Whole and declaring to live by your feeling is responsible declaration, known in Hindu spiritual practice as nidhidhyasana. Responsible declaration unlocks the Power of Feeling in you.

But the moment you hear that you are responsible for everything happening around you, you think, 'If I feel responsible for all the garbage on the streets, I will be stuck

cleaning it up the whole day! I will not be able to do anything else!'

Please listen: I am not saying that if you feel responsible for the streets, you will need to clean them yourself. I am also not saying that you will NOT clean them yourself. Anything may happen - but don't be afraid to dive into the feeling of responsibility just because of your imaginary complications. Don't stop yourself from feeling it at all!

Complete with those imaginary complications. Take a little time to let this feeling to sink inside you and be in sync with your actions. It has to sink inside you and be in sync with your actions. Then responsibility will become synergy - synchronized energy!

Understand the Science of Feeling. You can feel anything as joy or anything as pain - it is your freedom! Even the greatest achievement can bring pain to you, and even the worst experience can be a joyful learning. You have the ability to decide how you want to feel! Listen: whenever you feel empowered, you are joyful. Whenever you feel powerless, you experience suffering. All your suffering pain, anger, guilt, fear, jealousy, frustration is nothing but powerlessness expressing in different ways! When you feel responsible for everything that happens in your life, you will feel that everything is joyful - because nothing can make you powerless. So empower yourself with Responsibility and unlock the Power of Feeling.

EXERCISE TO UNLOCK YOUR POWER OF FEELING

Power of Living ENRICHING

Listen! The purpose for which you are born is Enriching yourself and others. When you operate out of this understanding, you are most alive, at your peak and living enlightenment!

Enriching is the key that unlocks the Power of Living in you.

Enriching is you taking responsibility with integrity and authenticity that you are committed to continuously enriching, which is expanding yourself and life in and around you.

When you are committed to enriching yourself and all round you, Life showers you with the best of everything! You not only experience life within you but also outside of you with others. When you enrich, the Power of Living is awakened in you.

Listen: all your struggles in life begin the moment you start thinking that others are separate from you. Understand, there is no one called 'other' in your life! The 'other' is only the forgotten and disowned parts of you! Your struggles with others are nothing but your struggle with the forgotten side of you. When you enrich others, you are naturally enriching the neglected side of your own being. So the more you enrich others, the more you enrich yourself. Above all, you wake up to the truth that everyone and everything is part of you.

TO ALL THE POWERS

With integrity you experience the space of positivity, with authenticity you experience the space of possibility, and with responsibility you experience the space of leadership. With enriching, you experience the space of enlightenment itself! Enlightened living is nothing but harnessing all your inner powers and using them to enrich yourself and others. So the Power of Living includes all the other powers in itself.

When you have integrated listening (shravana), authentic thinking (manana) and make a responsible declaration (nidhidhyasana), you will be living an enriching life.

When you enrich yourself and others, it is a step above taking responsibility. Enriching alone can burn any lack of integrity, inauthenticity or irresponsibility in you! Enriching is taking responsibility for everyone and everything, including others' inauthenticity and lack of integrity because they are a part of you.

Understand that you do not live in a desolate cave or forest. You live with other people, where life is happening outside of you. Life is happening with others! You are involved with hundreds of others and hundreds of others are involved with you. So naturally, when your life is involved with so many people, for any transformation that you want in your life, you have to work and transform other lives as well!

Otherwise you may sit and continuously meditate for days or months and raise yourself to a very high level of joy and bliss, but the moment you come back to your house, your spouse can bring you down in less than ten minutes! Ten minutes is more than enough! A look, a word or even just a call is enough. Only when you enrich others can your life go through any transformation.

Takingresponsibility for others does not mean that you will accept everybody's non-integrity or inauthenticity and take the blame for it. NO! It means that you will commit to inspire and empower everyone to experience the four inner powers in their life.

Having naturally makes you responsible for sharing. This is the natural law. A person with eyes is responsible for giving the benefits of vision to a blind person. A person with power is responsible for making powerless people become powerful. A person with knowledge is responsible for making ignorant people knowledgeable. If you are wealthy, you become responsible for making the poor wealthy. ■ Enriching others to live at THEIR peak possibility is the ultimate way you can enrich them

So decide to make ENRICHING your Lifestyle!

Internalize this important truth - do not give up on yourself and people! Even if people fail a hundred times, continue to work with them. When you are frustrated at other people's failure, understand that it is nothing but your frustration towards your own failure. If we turn our back on people, we are not living Dharma, because when we give up on others, we have also given up on ourselves! So never give up on people!

YOUR POWER OF LIVING

■ Write down the first incident in your life where you felt that you were exploited by life and had to take care of yourself

■ Complete powerfully with that root thought pattern, which is making you feel separate from others

■ For the next 48 hours, see everything and everybody you meet as extensions of yourself and serve them joyfully out of a space of completion

Four Powers COMPLETION & CREATION

THE COSMOS IS WAITING TO FULFIL YOU

Do you feel that the Cosmos never hears your prayers or cares for your dreams? NO! When you dream, the Cosmos really dreams along with you. The moment you start dreaming, life starts building its dreams about you. The Cosmos is waiting to fulfil you, it dreams through you, it yearns for you to become Reality. Just like mother yearns for the child to become man or woman, the Cosmos yearns for you to become your highest possibility, your true Reality. The dreams that Life has for you are a hundred times bigger and more powerful than anything you can dream for yourself!

So dream your best possibility and declare it! Start thinking, living, acting, and doing everything as if your declaration has already become reality! Do it! Then you will understand the Power of your Words, the Power of your Thinking, the Power of your Feelin, and the Power of your Living. This is DHARMA - aligning yourself to the flow of the Cosmos.

WHEN YOU LIVE IN TUNE WITH THE COSMOS, YOU WILL...

■ Be an authentic, powerful, blissful being

■ Respond spontaneously and harmoniously to Life

■ Be empowered to make miracles happen for you and others

Siddhis are extraordinary spiritual powers that are activated when you reach the higher levels of Consciousness. Whe you work continuously and sincerely with the Four Powers, these miraculous powers awaken in you. Add Dharma to your words, thoughts, feelings and the actions you perform in your life.

When you add Dharma to the Four Powers, you will see miracles happening in your life. For example, when you live with extraordinary integrity, the Cosmos itself will rush to fulfil your word!

There is a funny but significant story about the power of creating the right space. The child-prince Prahlad was a great devotee of the lord Vishnu. This made his

father, the demon king Hiranyakashipu really angry, because he wanted everybody to worship him instead of God. One day Hiranyakashipu threw a challenge to Prahlad. He pointed to the pillars in the room and said, 'You say your god Vishnu is everywhere! So is he there in these pillars here?' Without any hesitation the child Prahlad replied, 'Yes, Vishnu is there in these pillars also.' 'Oh, really! Show me which pillar Vishnu is sitting in!' roared Hiranyakashipu. So Prahlad lifted his small hand and started to point to a pillar in the room.

It is said that when Hiranyakashipu was questioning Prahlad, Vishnu was resting peacefully in his divine abode. But the moment Prahlad's finger started moving towards the pillars, Vishnu jumped up and started running towards the earth! His consort Lakshmi asked, 'What happened, what happened?' 'Oh, my devotee is moving his finger towards a pillar; wherever he indicates, I have to enter into that pillar!' cried Vishnu.

The integrity and authenticity of the innocent child Prahlad was such that wherever his finger stopped, Vishnu had to appear in that pillar! When you create such a powerful space of possibility, even the Divine will land there for you!

Listen!

Whenever you create a space for something to happen, you unfortunately also create doubts about the possibility of it ever becoming a reality! When you challenge the space, you have already corrupted the space. Suppose you are suffering with a certain sickness. You decide to create a space to become healthy. But the moment you create the space, you will have all possible kinds of doubts - doubts about the Power of Space, and doubts about your ability to create the right space. All your past failures come and stand in front of you like demons!

That is the most unfortunate thing - challenging the power of Space. So first, all these complications in creating the space should be completed. Create the space from

Next, you will be creating the space to make your desire into reality. But first, you will need to complete with your doubts about your ability to create the right space.

Sit. Close your eyes. Pick up that idea you have. Complete with all that impossibility.

Now, sit with that space of completion. Decide that you will make your inspiration into reality through your actions. Committing to transform your desire into reality is taking responsibility for it. Creating a space of possibility and taking responsibility for it will make it into reality in your life!

Now that you have seen that the possibility of living a extraordinary life, the natural step forward would be INNER AWAKENING.
