Todays Morning Message from Bhagwan Sri Paramahamsa Nithyananda Swamiji: I welcome all of you with My love and blessings. Today I have a very important subject: to expand. I am going to create a separate series of important discourse videos to help all of you understand the common questions like “how can I expand my wealth creation ability?” “I feel I am stuck,” “I am not sure about my boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse,” all of these common concerns. So yesterday we were hvaing a discussion, with some of my sri mahants, mahants, would-be, one very sincere disciple who has not yet committed himself to be a ktm, suddenly I casually mentioned that he should commit to become a mahant. I did not even use the word commit, I said you should become a mahant; he immediately got up and said “Swamiji, Swamiji, Swamiji, Swamiji, I am afraid of commitment; I want You to solve this conflict; I do not know what to do, all this responsibility, I am very afraid...” So I had a few minutes of clarification showering, concentrated chemo-therapy on him. Understand, clarification showering, concentrated chemo-therapy. Listen: I am defining these two words. Responsibility is not commitment, commitment is not responsibility. You can be responsible, never committed, you can be committed, never responsible. If you are constantly thinking about your future from powerlessness, and constantly thinking what problem can go wrong, your involvement is called commitment. If you are constantly looking at your future from space of completion, thinking what can go right, your involvement is called responsibility. I am the representative of total responsibility, but completely non-committal. If just a devotee who has attended some free program some time, if he is bitten by a snake or if he is got in some accident or in emergency, one phone call, I’ll personally attend and talk to my secretaries or whoever and see to it constantly he is attended and I will get the response back,healing or whatever I can help, you will see that responsibilism. Same way, if you live around me you can very clearly smell, I am completely non-committed to the whole thing. Listen: any future plan which erupts out of the pattern “what all can go wrong” is commitment. Any future plan which comes our of the completion “what all can go right” is responsibility. He asked me, “Then what is accountability, Swamiji?” I said, “If you are constantly thinking of what all can go wrong, if you are committed, you may be accountable, but you will not be accountable; you will just stand and say yes, this is what I am, what can I do, this is where I am?” So, understand, this subject is very, very, very confusing and people feel no no no no, at least in responsibilism, I don’t want these to be separated. Because at least in responsibility, you get a little space to worry. You are so addicted to worry, I took away all your ability to worry. But, if you are responsible, you can continue to worry in the name of responsibility. Now I am purifying the name of responsibility, listen. If you can move based on what all can go right, I am not saying don’t look at what all can go wrong; you may not need to look at what all can go wrong if you look at what all can go right intensely. Looking at what all can go right, I tell you, looking at what all can go right gives you the ability to start 10 000 projects. Even if you win in 20 you will be in the space of unimaginably Expansion! The mind which looks at what all can go wrong will not even move to the second project. People constantly say, “From morning I was making this call, this this this...” Understand, even when you are doing some action, is your worry pattern keeping quiet? Is your lust pattern keeping quiet? Is your fear pattern keeping quiet? Even when you are working, doing your work, all the three are functioning. Same way, instead of lust, fear, worry, why can’t your planning, celebration, gratitude function? It is just simple training whether you function from fear, lust, worry or function from planning, celebration, gratitude. Planning, completion, gratitude. Listen, listen: I am giving you a very important Sacred Secret as per the yogic tradition. The moment you are born, you reside only in Ananda Gandha. Ananda Gandha is the place from which your soul, your consciousness, operates in your body. While you are doing your regular routine, either you choose to allow your lust, fear, worry as an involuntary habitual function, or, you can voluntarily build planning, completion gratitude. Either you can allow involuntary lust fear worry, or planning completion gratitude. It is just consciously building, but don’t tell me the worst lie: I was busty in this so I could not do that. You have multiple possibility, and multi-dimensionality; you are multi-dimensional by nature! While you are working, if you are not planning in a multi-dimensional way, you are worrying or caught in the lust or fear, be guaranteed about it! This truth needs to really, really get into your system. This truth needs to really, really get into your system, listen: only then you will understand the difference between commitment and responsibility; if you don’t take responsibility, you are beaten black and blue by the commitment in life; if you take responsibility, you are freed form all the commitments. A responsible person has no commitments. This is exactly the principle on which I want the new generation to evolve. Listen, very soon, this going to the office is going to be completely disappearing all over the world! Only for the surgery, people may gather in a common place, for surgeries, not even outpatient treatments; that will all become a telemedicine; for surgery, only for surgery you may go to a common place where the doctor also comes, other than these few basic things where an object need to be handled, as far as surgery is concerned, you are an object only, doctor needs to handle you; or, item needs to be produced. Only those few rare exemptions, people are going to gather together; otherwise this concept of going to office this concept is going to die. In India this is already popular: cloud campus. Students don’t go to school any more; from the house, through the laptop they get the best teachers! Best teachers and best educating method! Cloud Campuses. I am picking up that system and working, that is why I know that name. I was planning to call it as a Cloud 9 Campus. I am already working on it, soon all you guys will have; all our major ashrams will have the Cloud 9 Campus. Listen: with responsibility the commitments are going to be dropped. More and more, the responsibility is going to rule the planet earth, not the commitment. Commitment may be an initial level way of teaching responsibility, but commitment should never be lifestyle. It is like to make a reinforced concrete pillar, you make a wooden box and pour the concrete into it; once the concrete is set, naturally the wooden box need to be removed. Wooden box is like commitment, cc pillar is like responsibility. Commitment may be an initial help for you to become responsible, but once you become responsible, you will be free from commitments. I want responsible sannyasis, not committed sannyasis. Responsible human beings, not committed human beings. I know there are some fools who are committed, living such an intense committed life, they just die out of boredom, that’s all, they do not know what is life! And they all the time blame people who are non-committal! If yo are committed you are a fool! You do not know how to take responsibilities so you are living and dying as committed! If you know how to take responsibility, you do not need to take commitment at all! Maybe at the level of thanedar and kothari you need commitment. If you are still committed at the level of mahant and sri mahant you, need to look into the whole system and you; at the level of mahant you need to become responsible. And if you are neither, at least be committed. I have seen recently a famous trend setting up: anybody who is not working properly, just give a promotion and send him out of your zone! Giving moksha to others with a lot of priya is not the definition of mokshapriya! I have seen, if they are not working properly under you, just promote them and move them out of your zone, then you are free! It is called promotion punishment. If you are not responsible and are promoted, either you are punished or the system is punished; if you are not responsible, either you are punished or the system is punished. Either you are punished or the system is punished, listen. Listen, listen. Either you are punished or the system is punished. Commitment is not what I am teaching, commitment is an initial support for responsibility to grow. When a small banyan sapling is growing, you may need a fence around that tree; that fence is like a commitment which is needed for the responsibility to grow, tree is responsibility, when it grows the fence needs to removed otherwise the fence becomes a bondage. There are very rare beings, completely responsible, completely committed, never feel they are committed because their inner space is so free, they don’t feel they are committed at all. So listen: listen, the basic principles, then we will study on exemptions. Because the moment I mention exemptions, everyone imagines they are the exemptions. No. Listen. Commitment is not responsibility; you can be committed, exactly on time you can go and sit in the enriching temple and come out only when everyone comes out, but not taking any responsibility. I have seen; I have seen people abusing their own life. They will show such high commitment, but never responsibility. Person who is highly responsible may not even need to be committed. Actually I tried to build the whole sangha on responsibility without asking for commitment, I was bitterly cheated and exploited by people. That is why I brought the commitment for responsibility to be grown. When responsibility is grown, protection is not required. After responsibility grows, the same commitment is a bondage for responsibility. But everyone thinks their responsibility has grown; if responsibility has grown, you’ll be delivering, not reasoning! Please listen: if you have valid reasons and work not done, does not equal work done. I give equal opportunity to all. Have the opportunity! Show the responsibility. And responsible person is such, everyone around you becomes responsible. The power of responsibility is such, everyone around you becomes responsible. Everyone! Everyone around you becomes responsible. Responsibility is fire! Everyone around you will just terribly impress, inspired, want to be part of you! They will be awe-struck by you! Commitment can be sometime binging, boring. But responsibility is liberating, rejoicing! Liberating and celebrating! Only in the level of thanedar or kothari, I expect commitment from you all. But the moment you move to the next level, I only expect responsibility from all of you. Means, delivering it. Delivering it, that’s all. Till you learn to become responsible, commitment is needed like a initial protection. If there is no initial protection fence, a great banyan tree can be killed as a small sapling by an ordinary goat. You need high protection. High protection. Listen: high protection. Commitment can be initial level protection for the responsibility to grow, but, commitment can never be a lifestyle; it should never become a lifestyle. Responsibility should become the lifestyle. Commitment is like asking you to give your thumb impression when you come, when you go; responsibilty is like you having the key of the whole thing! But there are many people who have key but not responsibility; they are the curse on the system. They are the suffering in the system. In responsibility there is no question of reasons, you just deliver, and you know how to deliver! The moment you say “I am depressed, I am tired, I am struggling, then forget it, you need commitment, not responsibility right now. Sometimes, they are completely different, sometimes they can even be diametrically opposite. Diametrically opposite. Our school, whole gurukul is built on responsibility: i want you all to know, our kids are two years ahead of their syllabus! For their age, if the kid is supposed to be at tenth class in outside schools, in our school, the same kid has completed twelth grage! If the kid is supposed to be in 8th, he has finished 10th, with distinction; flying colours! If you see, all my guru poojas are done only when people don’t become responsible; I push commitment as punishment only for not taking responsibility. If you take responsibility, I am first person to free you from all commitments. When responsibility doesn’t grow, I ask you to be committed. I really want new human beings to evolve who are highly responsible, totally non-committed. Hope to see those beings soon.
