“Enriching Others Makes you complete”
Enriching Others Makes you complete
Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s morning satsang, Friday 22nd March 2013

I will expand today on the fourth principle of life – ENRICHING; how it expands your relationship with you and with others.
First of all, you need to understand, Enriching is the only possible way you can relate with the universe, with others, which can expand you also. You can relate with others in so many ways – through lust, through fear, through confusion, through attention-need from them, through jealousy, through hatred. You can relate with others in so many ways, but nothing is going to expand you, make you powerful, complete you, like the method of Enriching. The basic principle with which you relate with others should be “Enriching”.
Your creativity is your contribution to the Cosmos
Whether it is the relationship with others or relationship with God, it has to be from the attitude of Enriching.
You may ask, ‘How can we enrich God?’ Your creativity can enrich God! Listen! Your creativity is always your contribution to the Cosmos. It is something which was not there in the Cosmos; you created it; you expanded it; you expressed it! Whatever is needed for you to express your creativity may be there in the Cosmos, but putting all of them together, allowing the alchemy of creativity to happen, and sharing it, enriching it, is YOUR contribution. Best life on the Planet Earth is Alchemy of Creativity. Whether you look at you or look at others, look at everything from this one angle: ‘How can I enrich?’ When you look at you from the angle - ‘How can I enrich me?’, you are healed with you, you will be completely comfortable with you. Same way, if you look at others ‘How can I enrich them? How can I enrich them?’ I tell you, you will experience Advaitha just with this one attitude.
You relating with others, the basic principles that you relate with others, should be “Enriching”.
Creativity is your contribution to the Whole. Sit with this one attitude of enriching with you or with the world. Let this one attitude, “Enriching”, be the way to relate.
One of the important truths about the life you need to understand and contemplate - Enriching others constantly expands your possibilities of life. Enriching others constantly expands the possibilities of your life! Whether you are doing a business, you are doing some jobor your relationship in the family, your relationship in the society, friends, in every line, every dimension, when you live with the principle of “Enriching”, your life goes so beautifully, so smoothly, so strongly!
Dimension of life you want expansion, Enriching can do. I can give you one hundred examples. You see, when we speak about some principles rarely works, you need to think and give example. But when I speak about the principle on which the Cosmos is functioning, everything is example! For the principle I am talking – enriching others empowers you, completes you, fulfills you - I donot need to think and bring examples from somewhere! Everything happening in life the is example for this principles.
First thing you need to do in your life is find some lubrication in your inside thinking. When your inside thinking is constantly irritated, there is so much friction in your inside thinking. For example, if you are thinking, ‘Why should I constantly enriching others when nobody cares for me?’ Yes, you may have a very logical, supporting facts, figures, evidences for your argument. But those arguments are only going to be like a grinding wheel on your inner space, creating so much of friction, grinding you, literally eating parts of you. But that is not going to solve the issue.
dhyan se suniye. You may have so many facts, figures, evidences. World is place you can collect evidence for any case you create; it does not need to be true! Anything you want, you can create evidence for it! You can create the evidence for the statement, “Everything is God!” And you can create evidence for the statement, “Everything is Devil!” You can create evidence for both. It depends on you, for which you want to create evidence.
Remove the friction from your thinking. When you have the thinking, ‘Why should I enrich others when they don’t even, they are not even ready to receive what I am giving, when they are not even ready to be sensitive?’ You can go on, go on, go on. But I tell you, with this friction, you will only be shrinking in your life, because friction naturally makes your thinking shrink. You will be shrinking in your thinking also. You will not take up expansive, new, adventures expressing your possibility. Friction puts so much of negativity in your thinking, you will not even reach the Space of Positivity.
The first step you need to reach for success is Positivity; then, Space of Possibility; then, Space of Leadership; then Space of Enlightenment. Space of Positivity is the Space of Devathaas. Space of Possibility is the Space of Indra. Space of Eshwarathwa is the Space of Vaikunta, Kailasa. Space of Enlightenment is the Nirvana, Moksha. Understand, only if you remove friction in your thinking, the Space of Positivity happens.
Remove friction from your thinking. If you start your day with the attitude of Enriching, first of all you need to be convinced why should you enrich.
Life happens to you with others. You can be a good mother only when your son is complete with you as mother. Only when your husband is complete with you as a husband, you can be a good wife. Only when your father and mother are complete with you as a good son or daughter, you will be good son or daughter. Only when your employee is complete with you as boss, you will be a good boss. Only when your boss is complete with you as a good employee, you will be good employee. Understand, every identity you carry in your life will become complete if the other end is complete. For example, if you are carrying the identity of mother, your son is the other end. If you are carrying the identity of son, your father is the other end. If you are carrying the identity of employee, your boss is the other end. If you are carrying the identity of the boss, your employee is the other end. Only the other end is complete, you can be complete. Unfortunately, you come to the conclusion before even start enriching them they can never be complete. ‘You don’t know my boss! Anybody can be complete on the Planet Earth, not him! Till I make twenty-five company and give him, he is not going to be complete!’ You start with so much of negative possibility, you never reach, and you never even take first step!
Listen! You can never be complete, till the other end is complete, and making the other end complete is not complicated job. You just need to remove the friction inside you; you carry about the other end. When you remove the friction inside, the other end is healed. When you add lubrication in your heart, the other end is automatically healed.Lubrication you need to add inside the heart is the attitude of enriching. With attitude of enriching, even in your business you will feel so fulfilled. For example, if you are doing the business of selling shirts, do it with the attitude of enriching with integrity and authenticity. Don’t cheat the quality material. Have the right price, right price for the product. For example, if you are selling the shirt for 100 rupee, you know very clearly, even if somebody is having 100 rupee, they cannot wear that 100 rupee. They need somebody to make cotton, thread, dye it and weave it and stitch it and bring it here. So, converting that 100 rupee into shirt itself is an enriching. So, every business you do can be enriching directly. If you are with the attitude of enriching, suddenly so much of friction in you melts down. You are complete with whatever profession you are doing.
I tell you, I have met so many CEOs, heads of companies, business magnets; none of them are complete about the business they are doing. They carry such a deep guilt; because they feel they are cheating everybody. Their business is based on cheating.Anybody I talk they say, ‘Swamiji, this Integrity, Authenticity, can be practiced in other fields. In my field it is impossible Swamiji. In my field morning the moment I get up till night, I have to tell lies, lies, lies, lies, lies. I have to be cheating. How can I be?’ I tell you, you are not bigger than Cosmos. When Cosmos can function with this principle of enriching, you can! You just need to have right understanding and right attitude. Many CEOs, heads of the corporate companies, try to give me donation. They fund some of our social service activities. Many time, I deny. I don’t accept. I tell them, ‘No!’ They ask ‘Why Swamiji? We are giving you donation. Why you are saying No!?’ I tell them, ‘First, you heal the incompletion you are carrying that your business is cheating. Because of that guilt, you are donating. When you donate out of incompletion, you will try to rule my organization. Tomorrow you will try to put your nose inside my organization. Because you carry the deep incompletion that you are exploiting or cheating people, tomorrow you will put the same doubt on me. I tell them, first complete the pattern you are carrying.’
With the right understanding, everything is enriching. With the right understanding, everybody is enriching. You just need to have understanding and shift in your cognition. Simply your actions will transform! Your way of cognizing will transform!
You need to understand, enriching adds so much to your inner space. Only when you enrich the people in the other end, only when the people in the other end are complete, you can be complete. You always think without completing the people in the other end you can become complete. It may be irresponsible retirement, not responsible completion. Dhyaan se suniye, Only when each one of my disciple are complete, I am complete as Guru. Before my disciples are complete if I try to be complete, it can be retirement; it cannot be completion. Withdrawal is not completion. It can be irresponsible retirement.
Now millions of you are watching me through this Sadhana TV. When I make each one of you understand what I am saying, only then I am a speaker, Teacher. Only when all of you are complete in what you are listening, I am a Teacher. Till I complete the other end, I cannot be a complete Teacher.
Constantly, without even getting into the life applying these principles, you come to the conclusion and you decide this cannot be practiced.
When your mother is complete, you will be complete.
Unless the other end is complete, you cannot be complete. Any attempt you do to become complete by yourself without completing the other end will be only irresponsible retirement; never be responsible completion. Try! Try to apply this principle; start thinking from the angle of enriching others. You will see, completing others how easy it is, because everyone is waiting to complete you. If you are feeling incomplete with somebody, be very clear, they are also feeling incomplete with you. When you want to complete them, they are waiting to complete you. Nobody is here to exploit you. Nobody is here to cheat you. People who think they are cheating others, they are very cunning that they can cheat others are only cheat themself.
I tell you, with attitude of cunningness, you will never be expanding. The possibility of expanding will never be cherished by the inner space which goes through the friction of incompletion. Friction of incompletion constantly makes you shrink, shrink, shrink. The way each of my sannyasis declare about their plan through which they are going to enrich others, the way they declare, I know do they carry friction inside or not. If you are carrying friction inside, I tell you, the expansion is not possible. Expansion, even in your thinking, is not possible. Add the lubrication of enriching attitude in your being.
As long as I was thinking the world is out there to cheat me, I was only shrinking. Listen! The moment I realized my decision to enrich myself and others is going to be the life of completion, the moment I decided to live the principle of enriching, even my sannyas felt like being a king! I tell you, when I was14, from my 14 to 17 I suffered with this attitude‘world is out there to cheat me’. Even when I was in the house, I felt like a poor beggar. 17½, I left the house;but with the completion and attitude of enriching myself and others.Even though I was a beggar from 17½ to 25, I felt and lived only like a king. I went on enriching people, even though I never had anything in my hand. I was dependent even for my meal, for my food and stay, for clothes, on others. I tell you, I lived like king! I went to different monasteries, different ashrams, different places, lived my life; but I lived, I felt I am a king! And I saw I was only adding, whoever came in my breathing space. I might have received food and clothes, but I have contributed, added so much to people, I only felt fulfilled. I only felt expanded.
I lived like a king even though I have to be dependent even for my food and clothes to others.
