I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all of you to this great Inner Awakening Level 1 and Level 2; first time we are offering as 2 different parts and the eN Genius kids. I welcome all the eN Genius kids and all the cities sitting with us in 2 way video conferencing for the Inner Awakening Level 1 program Sparta, New Jersey, Singapore-Singapuram, Dallas-Dwaraka, Ohio-Prayag, Toronto-Kailasam, Los Angeles-Arunachalam, Espanol….
Everything, everything starts with listening. First, we will start with this program on understanding listening. If there is one and only one thing inside of which life happens, that is listening. Please understand, when listening happens, everything, literally everything starts in the life. If you want to be an engineer listening should happen. Only after listening you can become an engineer. If you want to become a doctor listening has to happen. If you want to be a lawyer listening has to happen. Even if you want to be a politician, a cheap business, even for that listening has to happen. For everything, literally for everything, listening has to happen. So for the complete benefit of this program, this program to work 100% for you,
You need to be and do only one thing - that is listening. Especially first time we are opening the Inner Awakening in two way. So people who are participating through two way video conferencing you all need to have deep listening.
Let me define listening - Listening, not the ordinary way you understand. Let me give a clear understanding. Listening, not as the ordinary way you understand it, but also listening as a spiritual process, Listening as an enlightenment process. Please understand, usually for a moment you listen and next moment you understand, think about what you heard; you try to cognize what you heard. When you were young, as a child the space of listening was more than thinking about the listening, what you heard. Please listen, because it is a very important point. Premayananda, can you settle down? Please listen. It almost happens like a 0-1, 0-1, 0-1 just like binary. Listening-cognizing, Listening-cognizing, Listening-cognizing, Listening-cognizing. When you were young it was more listening; the time you spent on listening is more, cognizing was less. When you grow, when the patterns and incompletions interfere, cognizing is destroyed, listening reduces. When the incompletions starts creeping up, when the incompletions are creeping up in your system, cognizing is destroyed. And listening is reduced.
Please understand most of the time you learn the technique of switching off yourself without sleeping in the schools. You sit, you will be wide awake, your eyes will be open, sometime you will be shaking the head, sometime you will even be answering the questions, but you are fast asleep. You just learnt to switch off and fly somewhere. Physically you may be there but you are switched off. And you just park your body, and mind goes away somewhere else. Unfortunately, the incompletions, when they start happening in your system, the first thing that gets attacked is listening. Even now if you have incompletion about the room you are staying or in the house somebody is not agreeing for you to be here, any incompletion, it will directly affect your listening. So I request drop all those incompletions. Of course by today and tomorrow you will learn how to complete them. But even till then, drop all that incompletions and listen, listen.
Only from listening everything starts; listening for intranalysing. Understand we analyze many time in our life to throw away, to dump, to discard; but now I am asking you to analyze for internalizing. Analyzing for internalizing is intranalyzing. Please understand - Analyzing for internalizing is intranalyzing. If you have any incompletion you will not be able to listen because the incompletion destroys listening, takes away cognizing. Now, till you learn how to do completion, which you will be learning either from today or tomorrow based on the flow of the program; you will be learning the completion. Even till you learn completion you have the will and you can keep all the incompletions out of you. You can tell all the incompletions ‘I will attend to you when I learnt how to deal with you. Till then please keep quiet; let me listen.’
I think there is incompletion with the translation team. You are not able to listen. May I know if the translation teams, one by one, Chinese, Cantonese, you are able to listen? How many are getting translation Chinese, Cantonese? So you are ok with the translation. Hindi? All Hindi participants, you guys are ok with the translation? Spanish..........malay…….tamil……..Ma, call Hamsa and complete it. Only then…..
I can continue the session? Yes great. Please understand this concept of cognition; may I request all of you to sit straight?
Your mind functions as binary 0-1, 0-1, 0-1, 0-1, listening-cognizing, listening-cognizing, listening-cognizing. When you are a child you had a large space of listening and beautiful silent cognizing. You had a silence for cognizing. Then when the languages entered into your being you had a large space of listening and the cognizing was with the language. That is also ok. That is knowledge. When the incompletions have started gathering, cognizing is destroyed, listening is reduced. Please understand with more and more incompletions, cognizing is destroyed, listening has been reduced. So you lost listening and capability to cognize. Now, first thing you need to do is to start listening so that the listening space in you, the zone of listening space in you expands; so the listening space in you, the zone of silence becomes more alive.
You can see inside, usually the gaps I give during my speeches, my satsangs, in that gap you can actually read you. Are you agitated in that gap or peaceful, are you restless, feeling powerless or restful, how you are feeling in that gap? Understand, how you are feeling in that gap, what you are cognizing in that gap, just look. That is the few moments you can actually photograph you. That is the few moments you can actually photograph you. I am giving you these few moments. Are you feeling bored, tired; what is exactly you feel during the gaps I give, or excited, whatever you may feel, even excitement, even if you call that as excitement, other than a deep complete feeling, the feeling of completion, other than feeling of completion anything you feel, disturbs your listening.
So the first thing we need to do is start listening. Understand all words stem from a deep process of gathering information through your five senses and internalizing, responding to it. That is what I call as cognition. With incompletions, the zero space in you, the space for cognizing, reduces. I can say literally cognition gets destroyed and listening reduces. Now more than me talking about listening, because listening has to be experienced, we will do a very simple game, very small practical experience. We will now practically experience this kind of a ordinary default listening by playing a very interesting game. It’s a group game. So first please form groups, groups of maybe 20 people. Please gather, I think you can use the whole hall. People in the chair you push a little back. Form group of 20 people.
Sparta New Jersey all four can form as a group. Dallas only one person so you and me will form as a group.
Guidelines given……
Here it can go only as a whisper not as a loud message.
Guidelines…..
Next. Yes, go ahead.

Swamiji: That’s it. So, all the three did not come back!
Next participant: this is from the Hindi group.
Statement (in Hindi) means - it is very important to listen according to Swamiji.
What came back (in Hindi) - to listen to Swamiji with him is very important
Second one was (in Hindi): we were listening more and we were understanding or cognizing a little less in childhood.
What came back (Hindi) – in childhood we were hearing less but we were still understanding.
Last one is (Hindi): the binary 0-1, 0-1 is listening and understanding
What came back – to understand and to listen are two different things.
Swamiji: They told the truth! That’s it? Come on let’s listen to cities.
Eight words; and the group is only here people even if you whisper all three will hear at a time.
Listen, now how many of you understand how our listening is completely messed up; please raise your hand; you getting it? You will be able to listen only when there is nothing that stands between the speaker and your listening. Please listen, only if there is nothing standing between the speaker and to your listening, listening can happen. Now you may be listening only if the speaker is standing you can be listening!!
Understand if there is nothing standing in-between the speaker and your listening only then you will be able to listen. That means you cannot have any other thought in your head at the point when you are listening; you have to be established in the zone of pure listening. You have to be established in the zone of pure listening.
Dallas don’t support yourself on the wall. Move little to the front. I know it is night time in Dallas. You shouldn’t sleep.
So understand if you have any other thought in your head at the point when you are listening, you won’t be able to listen. You cannot have any other thought in your head at the point of listening. You have to be established in the zone of pure listening, only then cognition can happen. You will not be able to be in pure listening because you are already preoccupied with many incomplete moments of past; incomplete moments of past sitting inside you in the present. Please understand many of the incomplete moments of the past sitting inside you now, in the present, is the reason why you do not listen.
It is incompletions, I can say mountains of incompletions; sometimes I wonder what all incompletions people can create!! No, we are like a incompletion invention machine. No really. For what all reason people can create incompletions, unimaginable!! When you carry incompletion you can just go on creating incompletion for anything and everything. And I am also guy give you lot of material to create incompletion. I am very successful in incomplete people to create more incompletion.
Understand it’s only with completion, listening starts. You will learn the process of completion. We will begin completing your past. Only then your ability for pure listening exponentially goes up. When you complete your past, your ability for pure listening exponentially goes up. We will work on lot of powerful methods that will establish you in the state of completion, increasing the state of listening in you. Along with those techniques continuously take on only this one spiritual practice. Listen, this is the only spiritual practice I want you to do for next 21 days; that is listening. Everything else will automatically happen.
Just be in the space of listening. Simply when I say start the pranayama, your body will start; you don’t need to do. Nothing will be difficult if you are in the space of listening. Next 21 days constantly remind yourself to practice this and be in the state of listening. Please understand it is listening, listening, listening. J Krishnamurti says ‘listening is god’. He goes to the extreme of saying ‘listening is god’. If you are complete, even if you listen the statement ‘you are god’, you will become god. That’s what Upanishad says. There was one disciple Shwetaketu. He was complete. Guru said ‘Tatwam asi’ – ‘you are that’ and disciple realized; disciple became enlightened. He realized the truth. So listening, listening, listening with listening ….
Your life starts. Not just spiritual life, even life starts only with listening. So, with this first truth, ‘listening’ I inaugurate the Inner Awakening program formally. Formally we begin the Inner Awakening program with this first truth ‘listening’. Please understand, only when you start listening, Inner Awakening starts for you. I have inaugurated, now you have to start it for you. You have to start Inner Awakening for you by listening; with listening Inner Awakening starts. And we will start many powerful process of completing with your past and any incompletion you carry, even if you carry any incompletions related to why this is there and that is there, why Devi is sitting this side of Shiva; no, people do create and why I am wearing this dress, why I am wearing this jewel or why I am not wearing that, whatever incompletions you may carry about anything related to me or the sangha I will answer and I will see to it you reach completion whether it is a simple thing as dress or whatever questions you have, the scandals created around me or the media harassment or the religious persecution I went through; whatever questions you have I can spend some time and answer, but you need to come to the space of completion only then listening starts, only then Inner Awakening can start.
With this first truth listening I inaugurate the Inner Awakening program. Understand, Inner Awakening can only begin, it can never end. See there are some things in the life which has beginning and end - like your body, which has date of birth and date of death – it has beginning and end.
There are some things in the life which has no beginning and which has end – delusion – maya; you don’t know when it begins, nobody knows when it began, but it can end. When you are out of it, it can end.
There are some things which can only start it can’t end - that is inner awakening. Inner Awakening can only start it can never end. It’s a endless eternal spiritual journey, endless eternal spiritual experience. So with this first truth ‘Listening’ I initiate all of you into this endless eternal spiritual journey. Thank you. Let’s gather for next session after lunch. Please wait for announcements. Let’s gather for next session. Thank you.
How many of you really have jet lag and feeling tired? Oh, more hands are going up. All right, then just few minutes kriya so that you are all complete, your body is in integrity to enter into the session.
Sit in vajrasana; vajrasana means sitting on your knees. Put the hands on your hip. Inhale through mouth. This is called veerasana kriya just inhale and exhale just through mouth. It is called veerasana kriya. If you are not tired you don’t need to do also. It’s a option. Wide, open the mouth widely. Put your hands on the hip, only then you will breathe up to the belly.
Yes enough.
Now, hit the heel on the ground just sitting. Only heel not the whole foot; only heel on the ground. It’s a yogic kriya I read and when I did it I was shocked; it’s like literally whole body kundalini gets awakened. No, you should not be hitting at the bed you should be hitting at the ground. You should move to the ground area and hit the heel on the ground; not sitting on the chair, either sitting on the ground or standing. Standing is ok, standing will be almost like jumping. Both legs together. See it awakens the kundalini; completely the tiredness disappears, almost like a … no only heel; you guys are using the whole foot; only heel. I tried it was really powerful. Come on continue at least few minutes. You should inhale and exhale through the mouth, after that hit the heel on the ground.
Yes, ready, now you guys are ready? We will start the session. If you want you can also have cup of tea any time you want. It’s after all vending machine is available whole day; any moment you can just go sip cup of tea. Can I start the session? You are all ready? I don’t get the yes from everyone.
(Group says YES)
Thank you. Thank you for the yes. Let me enter into the session. How many of you are coming first time to my programs, raise your hand? Please raise your hand. Already you have done any one program means Kalpatharu, NSP, ASP, whatever leave it, if you have not done any program with me first time you are
sitting with me in program raise your hand. Raise your hand fully, let me see. First time attending Inner Awakening; you have attended other programs, first time attending Inner Awakening. Great! So let me not beat around the bush, let me not go round and round. I will introduce straightaway. This whole program is a powerful process to awaken your inner being; especially now of late the clear updated essence of the Vedic tradition getting added into the program and the best way it is being presented, it has become more powerful than anything available on the planet earth for body, mind, spirit transformation.
I am not promoting this program because I am taking. I will tell you, directly I am telling you, anything available on the planet earth for body, mind, spirit transformation, this is the best available as on now. These are the words I am straightaway giving from my heart, from my integrity and authenticity; they are not commercials. These words are not advertisements and commercials about the program. Now I don’t need to give you the commercial. You are already here now. You understand? You are already here; I don’t need to run commercial for you. For somebody who is not here, for them I need to run commercial. You are already here, I don’t need to run a commercial for you. I am introducing.
Please understand I am not running a commercial. I am introducing. I think you had a presentation on all the researches we did on the program. Now the program is more and more refined. Due to the continuous authentic expansion, program has more and more become effective and experiential. All I want you to do is come to the space of listening. Please come to the space of listening. I will introduce the four, THE principle; please understand, four THE principles of the cosmos. This is the four principles with which the whole cosmos functions.
May I request you to drop your note book and everything? See, if you pen down, end of the program you will have enlightened note book. If you listen you will have an enlightened being. Hope you have not come here to get an enlightened note book. So listen. Listen. Be in the space of completion and you don’t need to close your eyes. You can just sit with wide open eyes. Because with closed eyes you get into a trance. I call it lunch Samadhi!! After lunch you sit with closed eyes you get into a special Samadhi trance!!
Please come to the space of listening. The principles based on which the whole cosmos functions, more than the principle, they are your birth right. Understand this one example. There is a old house and house has one room which is locked for centuries. Nobody knows what is there in that. The Rajaguru of that family calls you and gives you the key and says go and open that key and whatever is inside, enjoy it; it is yours. Naturally you say no, no, no, no, no, I have lot of work, why one more work? I am not interested. Who will go into the house and who will go into the room and who will open? When Rajaguru insists ‘please do it’, it looks like he is putting one more work on you, he is putting one more responsibility on you, he is forcing you to do something. But when you go and open the door and see the treasure, large treasury; any of you have seen literally with your eyes any treasury? Any of you? Any of you have seen in your life any treasury? I saw twice in my life. One Anantha Padmanabhaswamy the temple treasury which is
open now. I saw few years before it became public when that king invited me to his palace. Overnight it has now become the world’s richest spiritual institution. In Kerala, nearby a state, there is a temple - Padmanabhaswamy temple, it’s literally feels like somebody slapping you. No really; the treasury now which is made public I saw. They are saying that it was not open and it was not accessible and all that. Its lie. It was under the control of king and it’s a temple of Vishnu I myself saw. It’s literally like a, you faint. Because each diamond, see actually when I went it was all packed in gunny bags when they showed me; something like a 90 gunny bag. And I asked them what is there in this gunny bag, why are you keeping this in the underground room. ‘Oh Swamiji that and all is diamonds’! And if you see there is a photograph also, few photographs we have with that king in palace and when he was taking me round that treasury. Of course we could not complete seeing. In a single vaidoorya stone, around four feet throne, the whole throne is single vaidoorya stone. In single vaidoorya stone they have carved. I don’t know how many thousand crore it will be. And once I saw the Venkateshwara’s treasury, Tirupati Venkateshwara’s treasury.
Anyhow I am just giving you the idea of what is treasury. If you find the treasury in that room and make it as yours, after that will you feel what that Rajaguru was telling you is a responsibility, is a work? No, it is your birth right. Please understand before you open the door and acquire that treasury, acquire that treasure, it’s a work. After you acquire that treasure it’s your birth right. Exactly the same way, these principles, these four principles, before you live them and start opening up to all the treasures of this four principles, extraordinary powers which you will be receiving by these four principles, please listen, before the extraordinary powers of this four principles becomes available to you, living this may look like a responsibility.
May I request you to sit with open eyes? …….
Please listen. Come to space of listening. Before you experience the powerful principles expressing miracles through you, it is like responsibility. But once you open the treasury, the powers which comes to you by internalizing these principles, it is your birth right. How many of you are able to cognize what I am saying? So these four principles are not one more responsibility I am adding to you, one more rule I am adding to you, one more law I am adding to you; it is the treasure I am adding to your life.
Understand, I think still many of you are not cognizing. If you cognize the treasure is getting added to your life you will sit straight. Anyhow, maybe when you start seeing the extraordinary powers these principles can add in few days, you will see that excitement happening in you, you will see that experience happening in you.
I will start the session. I will start introducing the four principles. First principle please come to the space of listening. Now literally you are getting initiated into these tattvas, into these principles. How many of you are listening
these four principles first time from my mouth directly. Then it’s a initiation for all of you. For others it’s a re-initiation; that’s all. So listen, the first principle ‘Integrity’ means – ‘Integrity is you fulfilling the words and thought you give it to yourself and to others and experiencing state of completion with you and with life’. Listen, integrity is you fulfilling the word and thought you give it to you and to others and experiencing completion with you and others. Integrity is not social ethics, morality. No. I am not talking about Integrity as a social ethics or as a morality. I am talking about Integrity as a spiritual principle. See, society teaches you – ‘whatever word you give to others please honor it and you have to honor it.’ I am not talking as a social morality or ethics. I am talking as a spiritual principle. Please listen, society many time teaches you to fulfill the words you give it to others because based on that only society runs. But here the first thing you need to know - the words you give it to you, the words you give it to you, start honoring the words you give it to you.
Everyone understands integrity with others. It’s like if you give a word to somebody you will give a million dollar within a week, even by giving your life you have to give that million dollar. If you realize sixth day, just before the last day, that even if you give your life nobody is ready to buy for million dollar, you can’t fulfill your word, at least call and complete with that person, tell that person I can’t give you the million dollar before ahead of the time of the commitment. Even that is integrity; if you complete with that person I can’t do and stop the mess you are creating in others life that is also integrity. This is more external world that everyone understands. But the real integrity starts with the words you give it to you, please listen, with the words you give it to you.
I am giving an example. In the young age you wanted to become a doctor; means you already gave a word to you that I will become a doctor. If you don’t, sometime you don’t become doctor and you don’t even bother about the word you gave it to you, mostly because there is no evidence for the word you gave it to you and there is no punishment for breaking the word you gave it to you because nobody else is involved, you do not care about the words you gave to you. Please understand, the more and more you disrespect the words you give it to you, the more and more you will lose respect on you. Please listen, the more and more you disrespect the words you give it to you, the more and more you will lose respect for you. If you have committed with you that I am going to become a doctor and if you are not able to become, at least complete with yourself – ‘I gave a word to me, oh me, I gave a word to me that I will become a doctor; neither I have become nor I am going to be, so I complete with the commitment I gave it to you or I gave it to me. I free myself from this commitment so that I can become complete.’
It is something new. First time many of us even will be thinking. And you know the worst thing, not only we don’t honor the words we gave it to us and we neither complete with the words we gave it to us, because this becomes a pattern we don’t even remember the words we gave it to ourselves!!! How many of you understand that? We don’t even remember the words we gave it to us.
See whenever you do some big plans in the life one part of you always laughs at you, gives you confusion, doesn’t trust you. You try to be like a hero, one part of you is sitting and laughing at you saying ‘you are a comedian what do you mean by posing like a hero? How many of you cognize this happens in your life. Understand that part is nothing but the part you did not complete. The part of you, I can say that all your broken words which you don’t even remember, all your broken words which you don’t even remember is that part of you which is constantly disrespecting you, doesn’t trust you. Please understand, as long as the broken part of you exists in you, the infection of samsara, samsara is the infection, please understand, the delusion of infection; it’s like when you have a fracture they say ‘oh there should not be infection’ they give you the antibiotic. This antibiotics are worse than the fracture.
How many of you went through this having some fracture and taking antibiotics? I tell you I did not have even one second any pain due to fracture; but that antibiotics, oh god! My doctor is here!! I had a fracture two years before, in the horse riding; morning I started going for horse riding, the foolish horse was patient for five days and sixth day I don’t know what happened and actually I was sitting and going in that horse and these fellows played that Kaalabhairava song and I heard that song and got into that bhava!! That horse felt heavy and he could not hold me and got frightened and started running; fell and had the fracture. Throughout I did not have pain even for a second. But the antibiotic was a torture.
Same way in your being, when your being was broken, the broken part of you, the infection due to that broken part is delusion. All the powerless moments you experience in your life is because of one part of you is broken. The infection from that broken part is the powerless moments. Whenever you try to be powerless, you see to plan something huge in your life, to take yourself to the next level, to raise yourself to the next level, you need strength, power; you need to feel powerful only then you will start planning for the next level in the life. You will expand. The problem is whenever you plan to expand, one part of you feels, makes you feel you are powerless, you are powerless.
Please listen, how many of you cognize there is one part of you hanging in you constantly makes you feel powerless in the life. So all of you need to complete with you. Whoever feels one part of you is making you powerless, all of you have to complete with you. I tell you with integrity and authenticity as Kaalabhairava as the witness I tell you, one of the biggest success in my life, the reason I could come out without even having a small scratch from this whole attack. See I am attacked from three group; one the language, as a Tamilian by the Kannadiga team means the language fanatics and the religion atheist group from Tamil Nadu and the non-Brahmin group, community, cast; three groups, very powerful groups. Some of you may not know the attacks, scandals happened around me. If you don’t know god saved you, relax. You don’t need to know, don’t worry about it. For the people who know I tell you, something, something, something, how you move from one place to another, one situation to another and finally came out without a single scratch.
I tell you, please understand, it’s a insiders secret. The secret I keep in my heart, the only reason, not even one moment any part of me made me feel powerless. Not even one second any
part of me made me feel powerless. How many of you cognize what I am saying? Always suffering is in your life because some part of you feels powerless. Before anything happens some part of you feels powerless. Many of you say in your life this is the moment of my rebirth if you see a danger and come out of it, if you experience a danger and you are free from it, you survive a danger. How many of you feel you have at least one rebirth moment in your life? You survived some danger like heart attack or terrorist attack or a murderer standing in front of you with a knife or a natural disaster, some way moment of rebirth, raise your hand? Ok. If I have to raise I have to raise my hand, leg, all fingers; because how many moments of rebirth I have seen. I tell you not even one moment I felt powerless inside me. The biggest asset you can acquire is completion with yourself. That’s a greatest power I can say this is what is Brahmastra.
In Vedic tradition they have a weapon called Brahmastra. It is nothing but completion with yourself. Because the completion with yourself is completion with cosmos - Brahman. Completion with Brahman is Brahmastra. I tell you this is one of the first principle - experiencing completion with you and others by honoring all the word and thoughts you gave it to you and others. Just like how life on planet earth exists because of the law of gravity, your life energy exists and functions inside you because of the law of integrity. Understand it is law of integrity based on which life functions in you. Don’t ever plan if you are not integrated and you are not going to be punished, you are going to be scot-free, you can be without integrity. I tell you integrity is not even just dependent on the word you give. It is much more deeper. It is just the way you look, the way you feel you, the way you carry you and the way you perceive others.
Your life works only when you are in integrity. The degree of workability in your life is directly proportionate to the degree of integrity with which you live your life. I tell you if you have integrity even if the whole world does not listen to you, you will listen to you. I tell you nobody needs to listen to you other than you. If you listen to you, you are a success, you are a winner; nobody can do anything to you. I tell you from my experience. Just if you listen to you nobody can do anything to you. The being who is in completion nobody can do anything because cosmos wants him alive. Life wants him alive. When you are complete with you, the confidence you have on you, understand, when you are complete with you, the confidence you have on you, confidence the completion with you brings, only when you experience the completion you will understand integrity is not a principle for you to practice it’s a treasury you got, it’s your birthright.
Please understand integrity is not just a law or ethics, morality; actually I don’t believe in any of these ethics. These ethics, morality all these are very superficial, skin deep. I tell you from my heart I don’t believe in any of that. So I am not promoting integrity as a morality or ethics. No. I am promoting it as a spiritual principle. What happens you know, when you start completing with you, every time when you give a word to you, thought to you; see any thought you give it to you is a word you give it to you. Even if you have a thought ‘let me have a cup of ice cream’ - that’s all now you already committed with you, either you have to complete or fulfill. You have to honor the word by having the ice-cream
or you have to complete with it by dropping - ‘oh sorry I gave the commitment out of lack of integrity that I will have an ice cream. I don’t want to have. I am dropping the commitment. I am completing with it.’ So even for one ice-cream desire you have to address such a long statement and complete yourself.
I tell you, your inner space will become free of thoughts. You will have so much of completion, so much of completion. Integrity, actually integrity will make the words you utter into zero. Please understand when you start becoming more and more integrated, the words you utter will drastically reduce. In yoga Patanjali says; he is the father of yoga, founder of yoga system. Founder of yoga system, a great rishi, lived in Chidambaram, during the times of Meenakshi he was in the body; because the records are there he attended Meenakshis wedding and he was supposed to have lived 2700 years. Meenakshi is the incarnation of Devi, lived in Madurai - The cosmic feminine energy, the wife of Shiva. Maybe later on I will tell our temple priest to give you the basic rough introduction about the characters I may be speaking. Why don’t you tell Amba to give the few names?
Patanjali, the founder of yoga system says yogasya prathamam dwaram vaaknirodaha. The first step in the yoga is reduction in the words, it is not silence. I know there are many fools who sit and whole day doesn’t speak. That is called voice rest. I am not talking about that. If you don’t speak, if you just give voice rest that does not make you will become a yogi. And there are many fellows who can’t speak; they don’t become yogis. No. Reduction in the words you utter; and I tell you once you start living integrity you will have literally vaak siddhi. The words you utter will simply become reality. You can experience being powerful in your life every moment only if you are in integrity. See, wherever you feel powerless in your life, look in, look in, and find out, you will see there will be lack of integrity.
Till you transcend your mind, means till you achieve the ultimate state, your existence is experienced by you through your thoughts and words. If you do not honor your thoughts and words and do not fulfill them, you are not honoring your very existence. Please understand, as on now all of you exist as the thoughts and words you give it to you and others. Please listen, literally all of you exist, as on now everyone of you exist as a thought and word you gave it to you and to others. If you do not live them, complete with them, it is disregarding your very existence, disregarding your very existence. It is like injecting your body with acid. On that only you are living, if you inject acid inside your body what will happen?
How many of you cognize what I am saying? That is what exactly you are doing when you are not in integrity with you, when you lack integrity with you, when you are incomplete with you. Feeling powerful will happen only when you bring integrity. You may have a doubt ‘no I created so much mess in my life, in the past, because of no integrity, non-integrity, how can that be repaired?’ Don’t bother. Start integrity from now and complete with you and others from now; you will see the whole mess you created in the past just melts down. It will just melt down. You will feel so powerful, the powerless moments will disappear. When I say powerful I mean you will simply utter something and manifest that as a reality. That is what I call powerful. When I say powerful I mean you utter something and
that manifests as reality in your life. Integrity with your thoughts and words causes space of powerfulness the power to create anything just by your thoughts and words. How many of you are cognizing it? Integrity with your thoughts and words causes a space of power; the power to create anything just by your thoughts and words.
Sparta New Jersey I think one participant is sleeping. Please tell her to wake up. Manisha you are also sleeping.
Ohio-Prayag pujaris should not make any noise for you guys to listen. Whoever is doing puja tell them they can put the screen and finish all their puja and leave the screen open after the puja. So, no noise should be created. They can ring the bell little less today; that’s ok. So all of you just be in the listening space.
Usually we are in integrity in our life; at least few of our words we fulfill. But the most important thing is that we miss even when we are in integrity is being in integrity from the space of completion. So it is not just fulfilling your words but fulfilling your words being established in the space of completion is integrity. Listen, sometime you fulfill your word otherwise you are going to be beaten, you are going to face some trouble. That is not integrity. Integrity means - fulfilling the word from the space of completion; just to be complete being integrated. Means no body needs to watch you, nobody needs to watch over you. Nobody needs to look at you here and there.
When you are established in completion even you don’t need to watch over you. Constantly almost all of us watch over us and suffer with us. How many of you try to watch over you continuously but finally end up in a mess. Raise your hand. That’s why I am telling you, if you are in the space of completion even you don’t need to watch over you. What is incompletion and what is completion let me define because only with that you will understand integrity. Please listen, incompletion is the hangover and residue of the past memory, incident, situation, past thoughts, past emotions which are residing in you in the present moment and which restricts and limits your cognition, which is the way you understand and respond to life in the present moment. Nowadays I started giving long definitions! Let me repeat. Incompletion is the past hangover sitting in the present and not letting you have the complete cognition in the present moment.
I will give you one example. For example you have given the word to yourself ‘I will become lawyer, I will become lawyer’ from the young age but unfortunately you become doctor. So naturally you will be arguing with your patients, you will not be treating your patients! See, the incompletions you carry from the past affects your present moment. How many of you cognize the concept of incompletion, please raise your hand? Yes. How many of you are not able to cognize so that I will repeat once more. Ok. All of you are able to cognize, great. Understand incompletion is the virus that sits inside your system not allowing you to connect with the life in the present moment and eventually causing your system to crash. Completion is the state where you have nothing holding you in the present moment. Completion brings forth a free space inside you where you will connect with the present moment and where you live the life spontaneously and fresh. So completion will allow you connect with the same situations, people of your life as something new and fresh each time you interact with life.
Let us get into the first step for intranalyzing process for integrity means internalizing integrity. Please understand, analyzing for the sake of internalizing is what I call intranalyzing. You analyze many times to reject. Now I am asking you to analyze to internalize. How many of you were hearing this word ‘intranalyzing’ first time raise your hand. It’s my contribution; the word is not there in English dictionary! So intranalyzing means analyzing for the sake of internalizing. Let us intranalyze integrity. Integrity is, please listen, you fulfilling the word and thought you give it to yourself and others and experiencing the state of completion with you and life. Now look into your life and list down all the words and promises commitments you gave it to you and to others but not fulfilled, did not honor; please listen, listen, first listen. You don’t need to start immediately, listen.
List down; it may be as simple as you committed with your friend you will get an ice cream but you did not get, never got it and college was over. And still you never honored that promise. It can be as simple as that, to as big as I will marry you and we will live happily ever after. You might have married but after that you may not have lived happily; whatever. Whatever commitments, words, promises you gave it to you and others and did not honor and fulfill, where you did not re-store your integrity, where you have not even completed, please list. See if you honored you don’t need to pen down. If you have completed with them saying that I am not going to honor it, you are on your own, I am on my own; even then you don’t need to pen down. If you neither completed nor honored please now pen down; make the list. Then we will go to the next step. It is only for you nobody else is going to read. So you can write. Be in integrity with this. Please don’t be in non-integrity with the process of integrity. Now do not hide or lie or be in lack of integrity; write in the book named as work book. Please understand, write in the book named work book because it will be burnt later on.
Still you have 10 seconds. 5:29:56. OK. 5:30 come on. Everyone is here? If your neighbor is missing please raise your hand. Oh. Ma, few people are missing.
Now we will enter into the process of completion. You only did half part. The remaining part you need to do. Please take the intranalyzing worksheet you got. Listen, second word; now please give a commitment to yourself to be in integrity and complete with your words, promises and commitment you gave it to yourself and others. So either fulfill what you declared or complete with all those words promises and commitments. How many of you cognize the meaning of it? No, simply you need to sit and read one by one what you wrote. For example you have written ‘I am going to become a doctor’ and you have not become one, tell yourself ‘I committed with myself that I will become a doctor. Now I am deciding, I am completing with that commitment ‘I am not going to be doctor’. I am not going to be doctor. I am just completing with myself the commitment I gave it to me. So create this word so that you are complete. You may think how such a simple thing can help? Try, you will understand. You will understand that broken part of you gets assembled with your main part and becomes a part of you and gets assimilated. Getting it? Shall we start? You have any question? Come on.
Participant: if you tell a lie to someone like you tell someone I know how to play a guitar. They are not going to check. In reality you don’t know.
Swamiji: Even that you have to complete.
Participant: That is part of this exercise?
Swamiji: Yes. That is also part of lack of integrity.
So now, please all of you understand, in this part of the program, this next half an hour you are going to complete with you. Then all the commitments you gave it to others and did not honor, we will do it in next session. You will be given a separate time for it to make calls. That time you can complete with all of them. Now you are going to only complete with you. For example you gave the commitment with you ‘I will become lawyer’; still you have time to become lawyer and you are going to become lawyer, not yet become lawyer so tell yourself insist on that commitment ‘I am going to become’. Anything which you gave it to you which you have not fulfilled, pen it down. If you are going to fulfill - declare that again with strength, if you are not going to fulfill - complete it. Clear? Yes, go ahead.
Participant: Swamiji if we have conflict in thought like I don’t know what I want to do
Swamiji: Oh, that conflict itself is because of lack of integrity. You understand? So now when you restore integrity the conflict will disappear; you will start getting clear what you want to do. Many time people come and ask me Swamiji tell my life’s purpose? What do you mean? Why are alive? Why should I tell you your life’s purpose? Human beings are lost so much they don’t even know why they are alive. You understand? It is because of this lack of integrity, non integrity.
Will you guys start? Please get the note book you wrote and sit with yourself. Maybe you can spread all over the hall. Sit alone so that you can talk loudly. So that you can listen to you. Please come on. Yes.
Participant: …………..(not clear). From what stage do I have to start?
Swamiji: from the birth. Whatever you remember, go back to the oldest memory. Maybe you would have given a word to yourself that you will get something to eat for you and you may not have fulfilled. After that if you have fulfilled then leave it. If you have not fulfilled at all till now, then you have to
Participant: then there will be a whole list…half an hour is not enough.
Swamiji: Then sit and pen down. Then you can’t leave. Understand? How many feel you need little more time? I will give you guys few more minutes. I will wait. Others who have finished writing then you go on the completion process. People who have not yet finished writing sit and write. See, with this session I will bring a majority of your part integrated, major chunk of your being should be integrated. Still there will be few more process needed to have complete integrity, but majority of the part will be integrated.
When you complete, completing if you utter that’s enough. If you utter with yourself that’s enough, you don’t have to write down. But when you are finding the incompletions you have to pen down. Usually incompletions you tend to forget. You can spread all over the hall sit in any one corner and start completing with you. If you have not yet completed with writing please write.
And without that no vague thinking should be allowed inside the system. It is vague thinking that destroys and does not let you find the purpose of your life.
Participant: Swami supposing we have given commitment to someone but that person has expired now then how do you
Swamiji: Then you need to sit in front of a mirror or wall visualize his presence and then complete with it. ‘Oh I gave you this commitment, now sorry, I am not able to fulfill, I complete with you.’
Participant: Does this cover the commitments we gave in office also
Swamiji: Everything in your life; so I am just shifting the whole way you think, the whole way you feel about you
Participant: So that can be in terms of re-planning the process.
Swamiji: Yes, if you have preplanned and declared to your boss, it’s a commitment. That in 21 days or one month I am going to do this, it’s a commitment; you have to give your life to fulfill it.
Participant: Ok
Swamiji: You may think ‘no, no, no my office people don’t do that. They don’t have so much of respect for me, why should I be so much committed to them?’ They don’t want to become enlightened but you want to become.
Participant: Sometimes you don’t say no and go on committing yes, yes, yes.
Swamiji: That you should be very clear; you should be able to say no when you need to say no.
Participant: Many times I say myself that I will not get angry, again I get angry.
Swamiji: No, you have to complete with that. Because you don’t have respect for your declaration, you go on doing it. What do feel? Do you think you can be without anger in future or you think you need angers support to run your life?
Participant: I don’t need any anger but the situations come I get angry.
Swamiji: No, that is what. Now you have to come to terms. You know what all situations are going to come in your life. Do you want angers support to face that or you don’t want. Listen. If you think from the angle of morality ‘no, no anger is wrong, this, that.’ Then you will never take a right decision. Just look at the anger as an energy. Do I want this energy support to face this this guys. See, sometimes you give justification to yourself ‘this cheap fellows I have to deal with them only with anger.’ If you have that justification at least be very clear ‘yes I need the support of the anger energy to deal with these fellows.’ So now you know all the situations possible in your life. You understand? So tell me to handle all those situations and people do you need anger?
Participant: No
Swamiji: You don’t need? Then declare I am not going to be. That’s all.
Participant: Secondly I say I will be faithful to everyone. But still sometimes I get doubts, I don’t have faith in people.
Swamiji: I understand. Then you need to be very clear, you need to declare yourself – ‘I will doubt this this this people in my life just like I doubt myself.’ Because you doubt yourself; that’s why. So you should be very clear.
Participant: Then how should I complete that I should not doubt on myself and others.
Swamiji: You should not doubt on yourself and others should happen in you as experience. You can’t be faking it. Understand? So complete with all the lack of integrity. Then automatically you will experience a space where you don’t doubt others and yourself.
Participant: I should complete past events then I will get it?
Swamiji: Yes. You should complete with past everything. See this one thinking change it’s a cognitive shift; the way you look at you, the way you look at your office, the way you look at your family the way you perceive the world, whole thing will have a big shift.
People who are completing raise your hand. You should spread all over the hall. You should sit alone; only then you can talk loudly to yourself. People who are writing raise the hand; still writing. Ok, you can continue to write. People who are completing spread all over the hall.
Participant: Is guilt also a result of lack of integrity?
Swamiji: Yes. It’s like a vicious circle.
Participant: Swami, sometimes we give hints by our actions to people that we feel certain way about them but we never tell them with words.
Swamiji: If you have not uttered it to them it is not lack of integrity with them, but if you have thought it’s a lack of integrity with you.
Participant: ….. in tamil
Swamiji: …..tamil…..
Participant: I wanted to do higher education but because of family situation now I am unable to do it. But you said if I am not able to do I say I am not. Still I want to do that. But I don’t know when I will be finishing my…
You told at one point to yourself you are going to do higher education. Am I right? So now still you want to do but
Swamiji: you are not able to do. Am I right?
Participant: Yes
Swamiji: So you are not able to fix a clear time frame to do the education, am I right?
Participant: Yes
Swamiji: So now you have to complete with it and drop it and tell yourself - ‘when I am able to do, that time again I will commit. Now I am dropping the commitment.’
Participant: Ok
Swamiji: Nice. You guys are all intranalyzing very sincerely. That is why so many questions are coming up.
Participant: Swamiji another question is what if you have plan A and Plan B for a thing and you still think that plan B could work out and plan A down the lane couldn’t.
Swamiji: I think this plan B is nothing but you not able to trust to. But at least make it very clear ‘this is plan A, this is plan B. But plan B is not my commitment.’ Make it very clear to yourself; so that the confusion, the overlapping is not there.
Participant: Another question Swamiji ….tamil…..
Swamiji: ……..tamil…….
Participant: Swamiji is there a lack of integrity if I am not sharing with someone how their behavior impacted me?
Swamiji: their behavior impacting you is incompletion. That will not be lack of integrity.
Participant: Ok
Participant: Sometimes I am forced to commit by others for example
Swamiji: No, no. You should be very clear to say no when you want to say no.
Participant: If others are forcing out the commitment from me how do I view it?
Swamiji: I think you should be very clear to put your foot down.
Participant: But it may lead to conflicts with them.
Swamiji: That you have to handle. You have to deal with it.
Participant: Do we have to give any time frame for the fulfillment?
Swamiji: If you want to make new commitments for the future you have to spell it out very clearly to yourself
Swamiji: time and form all the three
Participant: Till this time that I have to fulfill this commitment.
Swamiji: Yes. So that you become very conscious of what you think. Your thinking is respected by you. You are somebody to you first. See as on now, even you don’t respect yourself as somebody. You feel almost like you are like a dirt. Anything you can think you can throw it away in any way, you can alter it in any way. You don’t just need to care for you. Understand. So, that is what I am shifting now.
Participant: Swami I have sex with my friends daughter but not telling my friend.
Swamiji: That comes under completion. You wait now.
Participant: Is this acting out of my ego?
Swamiji: This does not come under integrity. But what it is we will analyze later.
Participant: Swami you said guilt is also integrity issue.
Swamiji: No, no, no; all guilt is not integrity. Some guilt’s can be caused due to lack of integrity. Whatever you can complete due to lack of integrity, whatever you are incomplete, those things you complete now. And remaining guilt we will handle in a separate session. We will be doing completion with all that.
Participant: Swamiji, in business we have to speak small lies.
Swamiji: I think you can be successful without even those small lies. And one more thing I wanted to tell you, those small lies are not directly related to integrity. Let me give you an example. See, you buy something for 100 rupee and you sell it for 200 rupee. The customer does not need to know the cost is only 100 rupee.
Participant: But he might ask if the goods are new or old.
Swamiji: That you have to be integrated.
Participant: It becomes difficult to sell the goods. It’s not harmful it’s only stone. If it’s old also it’s not harmful but if we say it is new it will sell immediately; because it is psychology. Oh it’s new then he will buy.
Swamiji: When it comes to straight contrast I think better you don’t give the words. Bring integrity itself.
Participant: Ok. I have to quiet and sell the goods
Participant: Let’s say I have a relationship with someone that I have never really gotten along with and I say to myself ‘I am never going to really get along with that person 100%’. Does that almost become like a commitment you have made, a creation?
Swamiji: Yes. Once you made this word to you, you are going to be slowly moving out of that person.
Participant: In doing this processes we are literally enriching our relationships, creating new relationships.
Swamiji: So if you wanted this to go in that direction, complete with all the negative commitments you gave. That’s all.
Participant: Ok
Swamiji: Still I am not listening to the voices of completion. Around 100 people or more than 100 people are there in the hall. And still I am not hearing the voices of completion means. You see I may not need to hear the words but I usually hear the voices mmmmmmm. Each one of you should go to one corner of the hall and sit with yourself and clearly complete. You can even utter the completion for three four times. So that you hear it properly and you ARE really.
Participant: Swami, this morning I had headache. When I am doing this I am feeling more vomiting sensation..
Swamiji: That is ok. All this powerlessness patterns will be coming out.
Participant: Swamiji what if I am not sure in a particular situation whether it is complete or not?
Swamiji: About that we will discuss during the completion process method. Now you complete only things related to integrity. That’s the first step of completion.
Participant: Swamiji I have ticked of the things that I can’t complete. Certain things I can’t and I am stuck with two things. One is that I will be a great business man in future and this other thing is for the past few
Swamiji: You should give a, define a clear time, date about the future. See be very clear the great business man – you should have the definition for that. And the time and date you are going to complete it. You have to be that precise.
Participant: Right Swamiji. And the other thing is Swamiji, it has come up lately in my life but it is always there and I am not able to tick it off. But I am scared that I don’t want to drop it. Like I to make music I want to create some new things but I am scared that if I start it I won’t be able to complete it
Swamiji: That is what I am saying if you bring integrity into one, everything, this feeling scared will disappear.
Participant: So I will take it up
Swamiji: Hmm yes.
Participant: Swamiji I want to live my life without any tension, bondation, any pressure from the society. Now I can’t do this
Swamiji: Who said you can’t do that? If you want, who said you can’t do it? When you want itself if you decide you can’t do, then how are you going to do? There is no such thing as you can’t.
Participant: So what shall I do Swamiji?
Swamiji: What shall I do means, if you have given the commitment you can’t, complete all that. All the negative commitments you gave, complete that.
Participant: What statement I should give to myself?
Swamiji: All the negative commitments I gave it to me I can’t be in peace with me without the pressures of the society I am dropping it. I decide to be in complete with me and others.
Participant: All the fear patterns like sudden fears coming in
Swamiji: Even fear pattern is nothing but lack of integrity. If you bring integrity fears will disappear.
Participant: So I have to say..
Swamiji: This idea I have ‘this may happen that may happen’ this all wrong, negative commitments I am dropping it.
Participant: Cunningness everything is a part of it?
Swamiji: Actually cunningness is nothing but; I will define cunningness ma. Listen. You try to lie to somebody to escape from certain situation. After few days you yourself start believing that lie and going behind it - is cunningness. Cunningness is where your legs misguided you.
Still I am not hearing the
Swamiji: So now start …tamil….. this part will stop crying.
Participant: not clear
Swamiji: Oh, this comes under a different altogether like incompletions. We will work at that time. And ask Kaalabhairava also.
Swamiji: ……..also involved in it drop it completely.
Participant: Is it ok to drop it even though I have promised.
Swamiji: Yes, yes, yes. No, no, you can say I am completing and dropping it now. When the other components involved in it is also conducive I will again take it up and complete.
Participant: Yes Swamiji
Swamiji: See, do not have any hangover. Do not have any powerless moments or anything which creates powerless moments.
Please settle down. Whoever is doing completion just sit in one corner. You have questions means you can come. Otherwise you sit in one corner and look within you when you do the completion so that it becomes part of you. If you have questions come to mike. I will answer.
Participant: Swamiji we have sometimes many expectations from our children and there are many incompletions arising out of that.
Swamiji: You should be very clear from now onwards, only if you are clear you are going to fulfill you should commit. Otherwise you should be very clear that, they all should understand you will not bother to say no when you need to say no.
Participant: Sometimes we go to some gurujis because of some family problems and they ask us to do some shlokas or something on regular basis but once the intensity of the problem is reduced we stop it. Actually they suggest you do it for life time. So in that case…
Swamiji: I think you should complete with that also. That I gave this commitment now I am dropping it; something like that
Participant: giving a word to God and telling him that this and this
Swamiji: If you gave a word, if you prayed, that if I get this job done I will come to your temple and do this. See whatever you committed, if what you wanted has already happened, that job is done, you have not competed means, you have not fulfilled your words means, you should fix a time to go and complete it.
Participant: Swamiji ……hindi…….
Swamiji: One minute, one minute, let me have a translator. You will translate, ok. Because I speak in Hindi in Sadhana TV many people think I know Hindi. Still some of them doesn’t know the secret of my Hindi.
Translation: Swamiji he is asking if I owe money to somebody and I don’t know whether I will be able to make the payment or not and still I want to do poornatwa now, what should I do.
Swamiji: You should complete now with you that I may not be able to give back; when I able to then again I will commit whether I will give back or not. Now I drop the commitment of giving back.
Translation: Swamiji I get very angry at times.
Swamiji: Maybe that is some incompletions that we will deal later on. We will now deal only integrity issues.
I think it is time. You only have few more minutes. Please close your eyes and sit. And complete all the incompletions. Sit wherever you are sitting. Now no more questions. Please complete all the incompletions. Only process now.
It is time you complete all your incompletions related to integrity and we will move to the next session. Be here for announcements. We will gather for next session. Thank you.
