Removing ourselves from\nthe family, organisation, and society though at best provides\ntemporary relief, it does not provide a solution.  Completion with\nothers is what provides for a guaranteed solution.  This article\ndeals with aspects related to the missing element of \u2018completion\nwith others\u2019 in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The dilution of social qualities in Hinduism<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Hinduism had principles of Love, Care, and Service.  It is not that without those principles Hinduism grew up.  Unfortunately, in the course of time, they all have been portrayed as a secondary quality that may not be that important for enlightenment.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>What went missing?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The\neternity being brought to immediacy, the context of eternity being\nbrought to everyday lifestyle went missing.  The Upanishadic truth of\n\u2018you exist in everything and everything exists in you\u2019 was not\napplied in day to day life.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>We had all the best things.  But in course of time, we put some things in the back-burner; like being in completion with others.  All the suffering we are having, all the degradation we are facing, all the abuse others are causing and we ourselves are causing to us, everything can be boiled down to &#8211; Not Completing with Others.  <\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Default pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Escaping\nhas become the generally-promoted lifestyle. If you have incompletion\nwith family and parents and society, when you are down South; run\naway to Varanasi.  After one year you will start having incompletion\nwith people in Varanasi, then run away to Haridwar.  This goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Escaping\nfrom the situations where the incompletions are there can never be\nthe solution for incompletions.  Actually, that will become one more\npattern of incompletion:  Whenever you see a conflict, just take off.\n Whenever you see a conflict, \u2018taking off\u2019 becomes a pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Completion\nis complete when you can come down to the plains and remain complete.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Completion with others is necessary for\nenlightenment<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Completion with others is a spiritual quality.  It is necessary for enlightenment.  Unfortunately, we always got the idea that if you have incompletion with others, run away to the higher plains where fewer people are there.  No, that is not a solution.  Completion with Others is the basic necessity, the basic quality you need for enlightenment.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The need for the revival of core principles of Hinduism<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The only way you can revive, the only way you can cure cancer that came to Sanatana Dharma is realizing the truth of completion with others.  As long as your body is moving and functioning, others are part of you, you are part of them.  If you are not ready to be in the space of completion with others, you can\u2019t be in completion with yourself.  <\/p>\n\n\n<p>This Science of \u2018Completion with Others\u2019 should be given the first priority in Hinduism for the next hundred years because the whole of Hinduism is built on the concept of Sangha (community).<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Be Blissful! Not just Peaceful<\/h2>\n\n\n<p> It is with the completion with others life starts in you.  With completion with yourself, peace starts in you.  With completion with others, bliss starts in you.  Just with the peace you can\u2019t live your life.  Be blissful, not just peaceful. You happened to be blissful, not just peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n<p> Based on satsangs delivered by rare Living Incarnation Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/nithyananda.org\/video\/be-blissful-not-just-peaceful\n<\/div><\/figure>\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=\"Be Blissful, Not Just Peaceful!\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KtdVUdCuqi4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Watch\nother Satsangs at <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation\"><em>http:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When faced with a difficult situation, most of us think that if only we were alone, life would be so much better.
