This\nis fundamentally based on the value that can be created when a large\narray of devices are connected to the internet.  Did you know that\neverything in the universe has always been connected?  Imagine the\neffectiveness and efficiency with which you can live life if you are\nable to tap into this network.  This article shares this truth as\nrevealed in the Upanishads.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The feeling of separation<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If\nyou feel there is something other than you existing, you may have\nfear or feeling.  If you feel the other part will complete you, you\nwill start developing romance towards it.  If you think the other\npart will be threatening you, you will start developing fear towards\nit.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The concept you have about you<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The concept you have about you play a very important, major role, in the way you live, the way you exist.  What you experience about you decides your attitude about life.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Consciousness of Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The\nsixth verse of the Ishavashya Upanishad declares \u201cOne who, indeed,\nlives by seeing as it is the whole Existence, all manifest and\nunmanifest beings existing in the Consciousness itself, and the\nConsciousness existing in the whole Existence, thus does not feel\nviolated or hates anything existing, by virtue of not seeing oneself\nas separate from Consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>The\ntruth is \u201ceverything exists in you and you exist in everything\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The authority of Upanishads<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The above statement is one of the most important principles of Vedic Tradition.  You might have heard of this in many books, but you should not mistake hearing this same principle in many books and hearing it from the Upanishads.  Upanishads is the ultimate declaration.  It is God speaking.  The same word, when it is said by different people, it has a different value.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The key to making change happen<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Everyone\nis ultimately a mirror of you, and if you change, everyone will\nchange.  Don\u2019t think in a roundabout way: \u2018If everyone changes, I\nwill also change.\u2019  Start from you.  Everyone will also start\nchanging.  This becomes a beautiful virtuous circle in you.  But if\nyou are waiting for the change to happen from the other, others will\nnot change; because of that, you will not change.  It will become a\nvicious circle.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Two methods<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The\ntruth is \u201ceverything exists in you\u201d. There are two methods to\nrealize this truth.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol><li>\nWitness\n\tthe body and mind from outside\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p>\nIf\nyou feel, \u2018Everything exists in me\u2019, fear and greed will start\ncoming up.  \u2018Oh, if everything exists in me, why will the tiger\nattack me?  Why will the lion attack me?\u2019\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p> With this method, you will think, \u2018No, I will see my body and mind separately.  Whatever happens, happens. It is just an Existence.  If this body needs to be alive, that will leave it alive.  Otherwise, it will kill.\u2019   <\/p>\n\n\n<ol><li>\nEverything\n\thas the same consciousness\n<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<p> \u2018No, this body and that body, both have same Consciousness, and with this clarity, I will decide what that body has to do and this body has to do and make it function smoothly.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Living from the cognition that \u201ceverything\nexists in me\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The\nunderstanding that happens by using these methods, when it becomes\nmatured cognition, they manifest as powers in you. Blessed are those\nwho decide to start the change.  Cursed are those who are waiting for\nthe other person to change.  Blessed are those who decide to be the\nfirst in the transformation process.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\nBe\na blessed one!<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n<em>Based on satsangs delivered by rare Living\nIncarnation Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Everything Exists in You\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hp4RLFnW6tQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/nithyananda.org\/video\/everything-exists-you\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><em>Watch\nother satsangs at<\/em>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation\"><em>http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might have heard of the term \u201cInternet of Everything\u201d and how this is going to alter the future of how the world functions.
