Tapas and Possibility
Remember possibility. Re-eject impossibility.
The ability to build possibility inside you is tapas. Not allowing impossibility in you is re-ejecting impossibility is renunciation. Building the bio-memory (memory in your physical body) of possibility is tapas.
All of us carry the energy to make what we want as reality in our space. That is what is life. What is life? The ability to make what you want as reality is life. Whether you want health, wealth, happiness, relationships, bliss, or completion. Whatever you want. Causing that in your life is life.
The ability to cause exists in everyone. Unfortunately, if too much wood is dumped on a small fire the fire can be put off. In the same way, too much impossibility can be dumped on possibility. If the fire can somehow manage to catch the wood, it will burn any amount of wood. It can even burn forests.
That crucial initial moment where the wood is dumped on fire, if the fire gives up on itself, everything is over. But if the fire is supported by a little bit of wind, encouraged, enriched, and initiated, it catches the wood and the fire cannot be put off.
All of you have the possibility as a fire in us. The space of possibility as fire in us. But unfortunately, the idea of impossibility is too much. When you remember your impossibility in you, the impossibility gets strengthened. Anything you remember again and again becomes a part of you.
If you remember about integrity again and again it becomes part of you. If you remember about authenticity again and again, that becomes part of you. If you remember about possibility again and again, that becomes part of you. If you remember impossibility again and again and again, it becomes part of you.
Anything you remember again and again becomes your muscle memory. If the impossibility comes inside you in the form of remembering eject it out! Again and again, reject it out, reject it out, reject it out! That is tapas.
Tapas and Completion
Continuously live in the space of Completion. Completion itself is Tapas!
Incompletion is anything that leaves you with an experience of low energy, low emotions and a general feeling of un-fulfillment. Any action that is un-fulfilled as per your expectation, either because of an outer hindrance or an inner hindrance, is incompletion.
Anything from the past that hinders you from participating in life as it happens, is incompletion.
Completion is the state which leaves nothing left to be desired, either in the inner world or in the outer world. When in completion, there is no space for fear, greed, anger, doubt, envy or any of the low-energy emotions and conflicts you create for yourself.
Completion is an unclouded inner space. In such a space, irrespective of what is happening in the outer world, completion alone remains.
Incompletion come out of the assumption that something larger than you exists out there for you, which can complete you. Your life is nothing but a journey from incompletion to incompletion.
The idea that something outside you can complete you, can add to you, can fulfil you, immediately reduces you to the level of matter. You forget that you are not matter – you are life!
Only life can infuse life into matter; matter cannot infuse life into life! Only you can infuse value into anything that is outside you. Even the so-called positive happenings in your life are usually a result of incompletion. Your success, your relationships, your wealth – everything is triggered by a sense of incompletion.
Whether you realize it or not, you are complete unto yourself. Then why do you look to something external to complete you?
Since completion is your innate nature, you are never comfortable with your own incompletions. For that very reason they remind you of your incompleteness.
Everything in the cosmos resonates innately with completion. It is completion here, it is completion there. Completion is born out of completion. If you remove completion from completion, completion alone remains!
Completion means creating a space which is full and where you can live. Completion keeps you full and gives you the space to live! Incompletion keeps you full, but never fulfilled; you will never be able to live there.
Building that space of completion is Tapas!
