As long as you feel you are\nnot qualified, you will be stealing from life.  The more you are\nstealing, the more you will feel insecure.  The more insecure you\nfeel, the more you will feel you are not qualified.  The first verse\nof the first Upanishad asks you to break that pattern and live a life\nof enriching where everything is offered to you.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\nEeshaavaasyamidham Sarvam Yathkincha Jagathyaam Jagath<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\nThena Thyakthena Bhunjeethaa Maa Gridhah Kasyasviddhanam<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The first part of\nthis verse is a truth revealed: <em>Cognizing whatever is, is change\nestablished in changing, and this whole thing is filled with\nConsciousness and intelligence<\/em>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The second part\nof this verse is an instruction: <em>With this renounced, you may\nenjoy.  Covet not the wealth of anyone at all<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>You are qualified for what you have in life<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Everything you\nare having, and you want to have, you are qualified for all that and\nmuch more, because, life is celebrating itself through you!  You may\nnot be qualified to have all of them; but, life is qualified to\ncelebrate all this through you!\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Impact of self-doubt<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The deep-rooted pattern of self-doubt \u2013 \u2018Am I qualified for all this?\u2019 &#8211; <em>will not allow you to be blissful<\/em> for more than ten minutes.  It is unfortunate, even you don\u2019t believe you are qualified for a celebration.  <\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Cognition for a blissful life<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Whatever change,\nwhether you perceive it as good or bad, is consciously done to you by\nthe higher consciousness which is more intelligent than you.  If you\nlook at your life with this cognition, for all the so-called bad\nthings, you will see the reason, \u201cWow!  Life is asking me to\nreinvent myself\u201d; for all the good things, you will see, \u201cI am\nqualified, life wants to celebrate through me\u201d.  The moment you\nunderstand you are qualified and life wants to celebrate through you,\nyou will settle with so much of peace and joy!  It will take away the\ninsecurity you carry.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>The moment you know that you are qualified, you will not bother to covet anyone\u2019s due.  You will never feel like coveting, grabbing somebody else\u2019s wealth.  Wealth does not mean only money, gold, jewelry etc., even coveting, grabbing somebody\u2019s attention, coveting, grabbing, stealing anything which belongs to somebody else.   <\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Anything which\nyou take from others, which is not enriching them, is \u201ccoveting\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>In life, all transactions are either coveting or offering.  Whether it is a simple smile or billion dollars, anything, if you are enriching, and others share it, it is \u201coffering\u201d.  If you are not enriching and taking it, it is \u201ccoveting\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Declare that you will enrich and not covet<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Whether it is a relationship with your body, relationship with another person, your career, your attitude towards life and world, human society, anybody, decide, from today:<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>What I see is change established in change.  It is filled with Consciousness.  Life wants to celebrate itself through me and life is qualified to do so.  I will enjoy it by enriching and there is no need to grab or covet from anyone or anything at all.<\/strong><\/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:\/\/youtube.com\/lifeblissfoundation\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the basic patters that human beings carry deep inside is \u201cAm I qualified for all these things?\u201d.
