Teachings of Swami Nithyananda : Chapter 1



"Unfortunately we have never been thought to think systematically. Your thinking can be binding you. Your thinking can be liberating you. For example if you think you can get food only by snatching it from the other person, you will snatch - steal. Your thinking itself will bring you down. It is your thinking that makes you whatever you are. It can be liberating you or suffocating you. I see so many people who have so many mental capabilities and so many disorders. Mind is the most powerful instrument. The right way of thinking is one of the most important thing in the human life. Just right thinking is enough to liberate you from ALL problems.

Kapila is the first person who developed and offered the science of liberated thinking to the world. When you have the liberated thinking, you will be sure about you. Certain about you. And you will be sure about who will be your friends. Who will be your enemies. You will then be certain about what your friends want from you and what your enemy wants from you. What world expects from you and what you are supposed to deliver the world. Understand, your enemy is not your world. He may be harassing you constantly. But never let your enemy guide your words and occupy your inner space. If you do that he will destroy your life. You should only what the real world wants from you. What you can add to the real world and enrich. Just like floating plants cover the water, the few stupid people will cover your eyes and make you believe they are the world.

You need to know what is the self, what is the world, what is Eshwara and what is humanity, who is your enemy and what is THE world. The more you cherish enemity towards anybody, anything the more you lose contact with reality. Because enmity is such it constantly reminds you about the enemy. And the enemy looks too bigger than what he is. Neither you need escape from him or destroy him, you just need to ignore him. Because he is not as big as you imagine. It is your enmity that makes the enemy big. It is your romance that makes you love big. It is the inside that makes anything that is outside larger-than-life size

The way you think should add more and more liberation to you, powerfulness to you, energy to you, completion to you, intelligence to you. No power can be equivalent to the power of completion into which you can fall asleep into Samadhi. Whether it is the power that comes by money, media or political power - no power can compare to the power of completion.. Thinking with the flow of completion is liberated thinking. It empowers you everyday.

Using your leg you can climb the hill or walk into the valley. Using your thinking you can bind yourself or liberate yourself. How to use your thinking to liberate yourself every moment voluntarily. First lesson you need to learn about thinking is: Thinking is voluntary. If you think thinking is involuntary you have already bound yourself. If your thinking is able to put you into the space of powerfulness, in the space of strength, that is enough. You will never bother to conquer somebody. Nevery bother to build enemies for yourself. And even if someone cherishes enmity towards you, they cannot do anything to you. Because you cannot be manipulated by the enemy. For enmity to be completed you must, like a "friend request", accept the "enemy request". Only if you accept the enemy request do they become your enemy. Do not be bothered, bound, by any of the so called enemy requests. If you don't have fear and if you don't cherish them as enemy, no enemy can do anything to you. Whatever they may try. It is the law of life.

Never allow your enemies to put their influence into your decision directly or indirectly. If it is, it is equivalent to getting poisoned. Don't do something just to irritate them. Don't do something just to avoid them. That is liberated thinking.

Look at the actual world to whom you need to cater, to offer. whom you need to enrich. Let them be in front of your cognition. Let them be influencing the way you think, speak, behave. The way you speak, not just others are listening, even you own inner being is listening. The joy, clarity you radiate not only fills others, it fills you also. When people send you enemy request and you don't accept, you terrorize the people who cherish enmity towards you. The moment you accept the enmy request whether you do what they want or the opposite of what they want, you are gone. Never accept the "enemy request".

Sankya teaches you the science of liberated thinking. Wherever no one can have influence over your thinking. No one can have power over your thinking. No one can have any say over the way you think, act. The complete liberation. Complete spiritual liberation you will experience when you do not accept enemy-requests. If you do, you would have wasted your life answering them directly or indirectly. The powerless state where even you cannot handle you is the worst hell. The worst suffering that can happening to a human being is being ideologically imprisoned. Carrying suffocated thinking instead of liberated thinking. Do not accept "enemy requests" that puts you in the space of powerlessness. Go on contributing to the world. Enriching the world."
