When we live our life based on facts, we are stuck with\nfear and greed.  When we live our life with a \u201creality-based\u201d\ncognition we will live by radiating grace, power and abundance.  This\narticle deals with our current plight of fact based living and what\u2019s\npossible when we shift our cognition to a reality-based living.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The\ntrap of fact based living<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If\nyour every-day thinking and feeling is based on the so-called \u201cfact\u201d,\nyou will be stuck with more fear, greed, incompletions, bondage,\nsuffering, and torture.  Food is required for living.  If you are\nspending twenty-four hours on food, that same food will kill you.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Facts\nare required for simple, smooth running of life.  But don\u2019t be\nobsessed with the fact-based life.  Don\u2019t judge yourself, gauge\nyourself every day based on the bank balance you have.  Obsession\nwith facts will destroy you.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The\nreality test<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><em>Anything\nwhich was not there yesterday, cannot be there today.  Anything which\nis not going to be there tomorrow, cannot be there today.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>When\nsomething is not going to be there tomorrow, how can you say it is\nthere today?  A stone may not exist in the same form tomorrow.  This\nmeans, the stone may be factual, but not real.  Today if you take\nthis stone and throw it on somebody\u2019s head, they will be hurt.\nThis is not to deny its power and existence.  But it is not real,\nbecause, tomorrow it may or may not exist in the same form.  If\nsomething cannot exist tomorrow, it is not real even today.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The\nroot of suffering<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Your\nwhole life, you are centering it on \u201cfactual\u201d.  That is why there\nis so much of suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The\nway out of suffering<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Let\nyour cognition be established on \u201creal\u201d.  A person who centres\nhis cognition on \u201creal\u201d, lives a non-serious life.  Non-serious\nlife is what is called \u201cCelebration\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Establish\nyourself beautifully in the space of Completion and reality.  When\nmore and more of your bio-memory and muscle-memory become Completion\nand reality-based thinking, you will LIVE.  It is not that you will\nnot bother about facts; but you will handle them intelligently.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For\nexample, driving is a basic lesson for you to reach your office.\nBut, to run your office, you need a different cognition.  If you\nthink, \u2018Oh, driving itself is a big, great thing I learnt\u2019, then\nbe a driver your whole life.  You will never become a CEO.\nFact-based cognitions, understandings, calculations, are like\nlearning to drive; but reality-based cognition is learning to LIVE.\nPlease learn to LIVE.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>What\ndoes it look like to live a reality based life?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Reality\nbased life is living enlightenment.  The grace which comes to you\nwhen you learn to live the courage, beauty and grace of\nenlightenment, even kings will feel jealous of you.  Celebrities will\nfeel shy looking at your grace.  And kings will feel jealous of the\npower you are radiating.  Businessmen will feel guilty of the\nabundance in which you are living.  In a life with reality-based\ncognition, no one can torture you.  All those who try to torture you\nwill finally torture themselves and disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Let\nyour life be reality-based.  Let your bio-memory and muscle-memory be\nmore and more built on reality-based cognition.\n<\/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\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><em>Satsang : <\/em>\n<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/nithyananda.org\/video\/life-has-no-hypocrisy\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><em>23<\/em><sup><em>rd<\/em><\/sup><em>\nJanuary 2015<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Context is decisive.
