Title:

Life is a Power!

Description:

In today’s morning Satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda declares that life is a power! To unlock this great power, all that we have to do is enrich others. When we carry the truth that life is for others, we will start to understand that our very breathing enriches. Just as all trees and plants on planet Earth require our breath for life, people need to know the great spiritual truths to heal, expand, and have success in their lives. Life is and verb not a noun. Let us take action, be responsible for others, and live the lifestyle of enriching.

I will enter into the satsang. I will start today’s satsang.

I wanted to expand on Power of Living. Life itself is a power. It is not punishment. Human-beings who feel that they are not able to achieve what they want to achieve through the life, they feel life is a punishment. It is like your ideas and reality, when they don’t match, you want to be really, really, really peaceful, joyful, happy, wealthy, healthy; but your reality is completely agitated, irritated, all spare-parts are not functioning, in poverty. Your expectation about life and the reality when that does not match, you feel life is a punishment, life is a curse. Please understand life is not curse. If your expectation is not become reality, it means you have not taken the responsibility for life. You have not harnessed the Power of Living. Life is a power. Living is a power.

Please understand, your words are power. Because, constantly the words you utter towards yourself becomes reality about you; the words you utter towards other raises the others’ energy. If you utter the right words, it raises others’ energy positively towards you. If you utter wrong words, it raises their energy negatively towards you. You can make somebody touch your feet or cut your head by the words you utter. The words you utter can make people touch your feet or cut your head. So, listen, the words are really, really, really powerful.

There was a gathering in front of a sadhu.

One poor man came to that sadhu and asked, ‘O, Baba, sadhu, I have health issues. I am sick. Please heal me.’

Sadhu blessed: ‘Let you become healthy. Let you be healed.’ He uttered that word.

See, all over the world, there are multiple religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism; in Christianity itself multiple segments. All over the world there are multiple religions. Same way, all over the world, there are multiple atheist traditions. The atheism of Karl Marx is totally different from the atheism practiced in different countries. I tell you, the atheism of materialists, atheism of Communists. The atheism practiced in US is totally different from the atheism practiced in Russia. Atheism practiced in China is totally different from the atheism practiced in Japan. So, in atheism also, there are multiple religions and traditions. Just like believers of God have multiple religions, atheists have multiple traditions. Has no logic why he denies the superior power. It is not that I accept the western concept of God or one single autocratic God. I am not saying I am accepting that concept. All I am trying to tell you is, the most baseless atheism, Ramaswami’s atheism, EV Ramaswami’s atheism, is the most baseless atheism I have ever studied. ‘Why there is no God?’ ask them. ‘No, no, we don’t like Brahmins. So whatever Brahmins do is wrong.’ That cannot be a base for atheism. Come on. Use your brain little and talk decently.

When they, see, whenever they speak any idea they try to convey, they will give twenty solid reasons. If they want to support government or if they want to oppose government, if they want to send any idea or message to the society, when they give a statement, they will give twenty-five supporting logic for their conclusion. But when it comes to atheism, all their logic fails. And the funny thing you know? They deny only Hindu god. They don’t have problem in going to Ramzan. They don’t have problem in going to Christian institutions and praying to Christian god. They have problem only with Hindu gods. Baseless!

This kind of one atheist comes, and that fellow starts screaming at the sadhu. ‘Oh, if you utter one word ‘Let you be healed.’ that fellow will be healed or what?’

This sadhu just looked up this atheist fellow and he said, ‘You idiot, you don’t know anything. You are mad. Why are you here?’

That’s it. That fellow started going crazy. He wants to prove he is a loosu. Screaming, furious, started jumping.

Then that sadhu said, ‘Sir, now you listen. Just my one word can make you mad. Then why, why not my one word can’t heal this guy? If my one word can make you mad, why not my one word can heal this person?’

Power of Words. Understand, the words we utter has its own power over us and over others. Same way, the thinking we have has power over us and power over others. The feeling we carry has real power over us and power over others. Same way, our life itself is a power. Only one life populated the whole earth. In Hinduism, we call ‘Manu’. It all started from one life. Now whatever you see, the whole humanity is from one life. Power of Life; I can give you hundreds of examples for Power of Love.

Small story about Power of Words:

Lawyer says, ‘Now that you have been acquitted, will you tell me honestly, did you steal the car?’

Client said, ‘After hearing your amazing argument in the court this morning, I am beginning to think I did not steal, Sir.’

Listen. Power of Living, I just wanted you to understand about Power of Living. Life can do anything. It can build anything. It can do anything. But you need to recognize you are alive and your living is power. By everyday breathing, either you accumulate more wealth or more poverty. By everyday breathing, either you accumulate more wealth or more poverty. By everyday breathing, either you get healthy or you get aged. By everyday breathing, either you are moving towards death or towards immortality. But life is not noun; it is verb; it is a movement; it is an action. You continue to move either towards immortality or death, towards health or disease. Tomorrow you will be more healthy than today or you will be more sick than today. Tomorrow you will be more happy than today or more sad than today. But there will be change tomorrow than what you are today, because life is not noun; it is a verb. It is a movement; it is a action. Now it is up to you to make what you want from today, out of today, what you want in tomorrow. Please understand, today is the investment for tomorrow.

Many people tell me: Future is a Promissory Note, Past is a bounced cheque, Present is present. I tell you, Present is a present for investment. It is not for keeping it in your locker or storing. You can’t store; that is the truth. You can’t store. Present is a investment for the future. It is your decision. It is you who has to decide. It is in your hands to decide how to use this Power of Life. I tell you, when you don’t have intelligence, when you don’t have clarity, when you don’t have knowledge, the worst punishment is giving you power and freedom. It is like give a child a rifle or gun. If you give the gun, a rifle to a child, what it will do? It will either kill itself or harm others. Life is a power. And if you do not know, if you do not have the intelligence to handle that power, it is like you start driving the car, but you don’t know how to stop it, how to apply brake. Unfortunately, in the life, you are already put. You don’t learn driving and start driving in the life. In the car, you learn driving and then start driving. In the life, you have to learn on the road. The moment you realize you don’t know how to live, you almost lived half of your life and you are on the road. Some people don’t realize till the end.

Please listen, life is a power. If you want to discover, harness the Power of Word, live Integrity. If you want to harness the Power of Thinking, live Authenticity. If you want to discover and use the Power of Feeling, use Responsibility. If you want to use the Power of Living, decide to Enrich with Integrity, Authenticity and Responsibility.

I tell you, whenever you enrich others and you, life happens in you; you experience Power of Living. I can give you a very simple truth. Just go on, go on, go on, go on, go on enrich others in your life. I tell you, best things of the life will be showered on you. From morning till night, let the enriching be your thinking, let the enriching be your feeling, let all your words be centered on enriching. I tell you, you will understand the Power of Words. Go on uttering the words which enriches others. Go on thinking how to enrich yourself and others. Go on feeling how to enrich yourself and others. I tell you, align your living to enrich others. Even if you are working in Microsoft, understand, you are enriching people. Just understand clearly in your thinking, you are enriching the people. Don’t have the self-doubt. Complete with it. If you are weaving the clothes, you are enriching somebody with clothes. Even if you are doing agriculture, you are enriching somebody with food. Even if you are working in the army, you are enriching your country with security. So, whatever you are doing, you can understand, you should align yourself, realize how you are enriching others.

I tell you, understanding whatever you are already doing is enriching and expanding your life in the line of enriching will make you realize the Power of Enriching. Only one person – a terrorist – cannot align his actions with enriching. A terrorist can never justify. If you are not a terrorist, then be very clear, all your thinking, all your actions, all your feelings can be aligned to enriching. Whole day remember very clearly, you are living only for enriching. Life is for others. I tell you, the moment you convince your heart life is for others, all the sufferings living in your heart leaves you; all the suffering. Now you know, even if somebody is suffering because of you, it is because of them, not because of you. It is because they do not know about life they are suffering; not because you contributed to their suffering.

The initiation into Enriching is what Buddha calls ‘Sannyas’. Please understand, initiation into Enriching is what Buddha calls ‘Sannyas’. I tell you, initiating you into the Power of Living is what I call ‘Enlightenment’, ‘Jeevan Mukthi’, ‘Living Enlightenment’. I can give you tons and tons and tons and tons of evidence. I can give you tons and tons and tons of information. I can give you tons and tons and tons of example. Just look around. Everywhere, power is available. Everything is available when you decide to enrich others. If you decide to hold, nothing is available. Even what you are holding is not available to you. When you decide to hold, even if you hold billions of rupees in the Swiss Bank, not only society doesn’t get, even you don’t get to use it. Holding denies even your existence to you.

I tell you, whenever you start this holding as a pattern, first thing your stomach will do is constipation. Really, I am telling you. Please understand, your stomach is your first child. Whatever you say, it believes, listens, obeys. Your liver is your student. Whatever you repeat, he listens and practices. Please listen, whatever you even say casually, jovially, your child will listen. Whatever you repeat again and again, your student will listen. Your stomach is your child. Your liver is your student. If you start thinking to yourself ‘holding is the right thing’, ‘possessing is the right thing’, first thing your stomach will do is constipation; because your stomach will start holding. Second thing your liver will start doing is building fat, because even your liver starts feeling insecured; it feels, ‘For future, I have to store it.’ It allows the fat to be in your body. So, these two starts all diseases and aging process in your life.

Please understand, what I am talking is one of the very important Hatha Yogic secrets. How your mental setup directly affects your health. Person decide to hold, decides to possess, decides not to enrich, not to associate your life with world, with humanity, person who disassociates the life from the humanity, creates diseases inside your own system. When you continue to enrich, when you decide to enrich, when you decide life is for others, all the greatest things are showered on you and continues to get showered on you. Whether it is wealth or power or intelligence, energy, everything is continuously showered on you.

The fourth initiation you are going to receive in the Inner Awakening Level-4 is ‘Jeevan Mukthi Deeksha’, the ‘Aapyaayana Deeksha’, the initiation into Enriching. Please understand, deciding to enrich yourself and others is a power. It is not moral. I am not asking you to do this as a service or a moral. No. Anything which is moral or service, humans will never do. And I am not asking you to do some service. When you decide to enrich yourself and others, I can say, that is the best selfish decision you will make in your life. Please listen, I am using two words: Best Selfish Decision. That is the best selfish decision you will make. Deciding to enrich yourself and others, aligning yourself to enriching is the most best selfish decision you will make. I am not here to tell you, ‘Do some selfless service. Do it, because it is right, moral.’ You will never do. And I am not interested in talking. I am not interested in using the words which will not move you. If I don’t move you with my words, then words are waste, useless. Then I disrespected Saraswathi. Then the Power of Words are not used properly. I am telling you, all my words always move the listener, because I talk to your being.

In the fourth level of Inner Awakening, you will experience the initiation into Enriching. Please listen, every one of us know the joy when you give it to others. When you give, when you share, when you enrich, the joy you feel, all of you know. But you always have a conflict, ‘If I give away everything, what will happen to my life? I need to hold something to run my life.’ This conflict will be removed. It will be completed with Enriching Initiation. You will understand even your exhaling is giving. You will understand, when you inhale you enrich this body, when you exhale you enrich all the trees by releasing the carbon dioxide required for the trees. Every moment you will be enriched when you know your life is for enriching.

Power of Words, you achieve the Power of Words through Integrity. You achieve Power of Thinking through Authenticity. You achieve Power of Feeling through Responsibility. You achieve Power of Living through Enriching.

Essence of today’s satsang:

Life is enriching, you just need to align yourself to it. Life is enriching, you just need to understand it. Life is enriching, you just need to look into it.
