Description:
In today’s morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains that when we take birth we are not given the power to change the past, but we receive the ability to continuously create a new future. If we cling to past problems, it is the same as clinging to a dead body. Our loved ones ultimately leave us, and at that time only a corpse is left. We understand that the body has no use without the person within, and we bury or burn the remains. In the same way we must recycle our history and open to the future, which is ours to create! Otherwise the future becomes imprisoned by the past.

Drop Your Past, Own Your Future

I will expand on how the Kundalini awakening can help you to create a reality of your choice. Human beings are programmed - only the right future they want to build. They are not given the power to correct the past.
Please listen. You are only empowered to build the future as you want. You are not empowered to correct the past. So, the more and more brooding over the past, means more and more suffering. You are empowered only to build the future which has no connection with the past, which has nothing to do with the past. As long as you believe your past has capacity to influence your future, you are in delusion.
Human-beings are hardwired to build the future as they want, but they have no capacity to correct the past. All the struggling you are doing to correct the past will be failure. You have no power to correct your past. You only have the power to build your future. More and more you think about the past, more and more you are going to be in powerlessness.
3:36- hindi
You are hypnotized to believe your past has influence over your future. No! Till this moment if somebody was a sinner, next moment he can become saint! Till this moment if somebody can be saint, next moment he can become a sinner! That is the beauty of Mahakala- Time
Your cognition about you and about the life depends on what you think as your time. Usually, you think hundred years as your time. So, whatever has passed, you think as your time; whatever is going to come, you think as your time; which is completely wrong. Neither your life is hundred years, nor the time passed is your time. Only the time going to come is your time. The whole time is your time. That is the 1st right cognition you need to have. Second, whatever has passed is not your time; it has no power over you; it has no influence over you. Third, only the future is your time.
5:48- hindi
Your delusion that the time spent while you are in your body is your time is wrong! It is not your time, it was not your time, it was perceived by you with your broken, beaten, abused cognition! Your cognition is not complete cognition till Integrity, and Authenticity, and Responsibility, and Enriching becomes the basis of your cognition. Till then your cognition is nothing but confusion.
Never you can develop your life as long as you think whatever has happened in the past and perceived by you as the past is yours. No!
Not owning which you can’t own, owning which you can own, is Life. Unfortunately, you try to own which you cannot own, not own what you are supposed to own!
Your future time you are supposed to own, but you do not own; you don’t take responsibility for it; you don’t own it; you don’t take ownership for it. Your future time you are supposed to own, but you don’t own; you don’t take responsibility for it; you don’t own it; you don’t take ownership for it.
Your past which you cannot own, you continue to own continuously, because your mind teaches you : “known” is right. Freedom from the known is the real freedom. Just because it is known, don’t think you can own!
You are supposed to own for your future! You are the owner of your future! You should take ownership for your future; but 90% of your thoughts; Look in, it is all about past!
When I see a person, I can tell based on his eyes, the expression of his eyes, whether he is lost in the past, or looking towards the future; the eyes which have no power, means, lost in the past.
Which you are supposed to be the owner (of), which you are supposed to be owning, you don’t take ownership (of that). Your energy does not even flow towards it. Some things which you can’t own, you try to go on owning it, owning it, owning it - your past!
You might have lived with her for 50 years; she might have been your first and last love; you would have had a most romantic life with her; even then you cannot keep her dead body for more than few hours with you. This is exactly the way you behave with your past!
Wake up! Just because she was your beloved, you lived with her for years, she was fulfilling all your dreams, and you had a romantic relationship, she was part of you, and you had an amazing life, love, living together, she was your first and last love, don’t forget the truth, you cannot keep, you cannot keep her dead body! Once she is dead, she is dead! You have to bury her body! It is time you bury her body! It is time to give farewell to her!
Constantly trying to brood over about your failures, when you try to brood over about your failures, you empower your failures. Already you have planned your future is going to be failure!
One of the biggest delusions human-being suffer is the future comes out of past. I tell you, the future comes “OUT” of past, not “OUT OF” past! Future comes OUT of past, not OUT OF past!
10:57- hindi
That is why when you take sanyas, you just break from the past. If you ate still brooding over the failures of your past, sanyaas has not happened in you. The space of sanyas is yet to happen in you.
12:10- hindi
You trying to own the past is abusal to mahakaala! Not owning your future is shutting your door for Mahakala. Owning your future means, receiving Mahakala, receiving Kalabhairava. Brooding over your past means, living with your dead body, not looking at the life possibility, not looking at the possibility of life. Decide you will not abuse Kalabhairava any more by brooding over the past ;you will get ready, you will be welcoming, receiving Kalabhairava with responsibility and ownership. Take the ownership for your future. If you take the ownership for your future, your eyes will be shining, bright, expecting the future; ready to receive it, planning for it, taking ownership for it, owning it!
14:25- hindi
Take ownership for your future. Let your mind think about your future with responsibility. Kalabhairava will bless you!
15:00- hindi
You are by nature hardwired to move towards your future.
(15:15)
The only mistake you do is without responsibility you move. Just move with responsibility; you are on the right track; you are moving towards enlightenment!
15:32- hindi
Because you moved in your future without responsibility, you have failed with so many fantasies. Then your failures of fantasies occupying your inner space so much, you are lost in the past and guilt of the past. When you don’t move with responsibility in future, it is going to be the past filled with guilt; wasted pages of your history, rotten pages of your bio-memory, rotten pages of your biography!
16:28- hindi
I tell you, your smile and laughter is “taking ownership of the future”. Your long face is “lost in trying to own your dead past”. Whenever your face has a smile and laughter, your consciousness, your cognition is moving towards future. Possibility of life is reminded to you. “Your best possibilities are yet to come” is reminded to you. Hold on to Kalabhairava’s leg which is going forward. Don’t hold on to Kalabhairava’s leg which is back and trying to pull him. He is not going to wait for you even if you try to pull him.
He will just kick you and walk! People who hold on to the past are trying to hold on to the back leg of Kalabhairava. Hold on to his leg which is going forward. He will bless you, take you forward.
Don’t hold on to his leg which is back, because he is not going to be stuck in the back like you.The smile and the laughter in your face looks at the possibility and the future. Long face shows you are drowned in the past.
18:35- hindi
When you cognize time, when you cognize life, don’t do the crime of holding on to the past and try to own up for the past. If you try to own up for past, you are trying to keep the dead body of your beloved! However beautiful life you had, photographs are okay, but not the dead body!
The most beautiful, romantic life you had, photographs are okay; own them. But don’t try to own dead body! Owning dead body will only destroy you! If you own twenty dead bodies around you, tell me what will happen to you? Tell me. Simply you will be dead.
20:00
You’ll be dead. You’ll be dead. Sit and design your future and take responsibility for it.
(Hindi)
When you own your past, KalaBhairava’s compassion or sympathy will not be on you, because you decide to pull Him back, He will only show the anger. Don’t try to own your past. Plan your future with responsibility. When a tanker goes in a road, the army tanker will have teeth in their wheel. How the army tanker when it goes on the road leaves the footprint; same way when you planned your future without responsibility, with fantasy.
Listen; when you take responsibility, it is no more fantasy. When you don’t take responsibility, it is fantasy. When you plan for your future without responsibility, you leave the imprint of guilt in your past. The road rollers, when they roll on the road, they make the road strong. Road rollers are planning for future with responsibility. When you plan for the future with responsibility, you are like road roller, you strengthen the road, make it smooth. If you plan for your future without responsibility, you are like army tanker. Only you can go, after that nobody can go. Most of the time your mind is engaged in your past, brooding over your past. Whenever you give rest to you, you are with your past; hugging the dead body.
Other day, one police officer came to meet me. He was talking. Recently there was a very strange case came to him. Few mortuary attendants, securities were continuously having physical relationship with dead bodies come to the mortuary. I thought, ‘Oh God, what an extreme perversion’. The officer was telling me, by and by handling dead-bodies everyday, they have become so perverted; they have gone to the extreme of having physical relationship with dead bodies. I tell you, if you are constantly brooding over your past, you are also doing the same. Your past has no future, don’t waste your life with it. The more you realize your past has no power over your future, the more you are free. When Krishnamurthy says, freedom from the known is ultimate freedom; this is what he means. Freedom from your past is the ultimate freedom.
24:12 [hindi] Jab aap aapne bhavishya ki yojana ....
25:20
You need to know the truth, you need to know the truth. Fear of past, fear of past destroys your future. You need responsibility towards your future, not fear. Having wrong emotion towards the future will destroy it. You need responsibility towards future, not fear. Understand, when you take responsibility towards your future, when you take responsibility towards your future, you neither have fear nor have greed. When you take responsibility towards your future, you live integrity, authenticity, responsibility, your Kundalini energy flows towards building your future. Your cognition is your Kundalini energy. If it is fully engaged in your past, you are dead, building the dead as future. If you are responsible towards your future, you will neither have fear to think about it, nor have fantasy to drool about it. This is the essence of today what I want to tell you. Let you not waste, let you not waste your inner space by brooding over the past. Let you enter responsibly into your future, plan for your future taking responsibility.
27:38 [hindi]
27:49
Your past has no future. Future has no past. With integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching, declare today, declare now, you will respect KalaBhaiarava in future. From this moment you will not abuse KalaBhairava by brooding over the past which is not your property. You will only responsibly plan for your future which is your possibility. Neither past, nor future is yours. Future is your possibility, so you have a right to think about it with responsibility. Future if you take the responsibility, it is just possibility, if not it is just probability. Anything which is probability is not your property. Fear of past destroys your future.
29:03 [hindi]
29:12
When you take the responsibility of your past, you will not have fear and greed, both.
29:20 [hindi]
(30:33) Learn this one lesson. Not to engage with your past. Not to be deluded with your past
(30:46) Hindi
(31:25) When you bring integrity you are purified from the dead body of your past. When you bring authenticity in your thinking your whole energy is pushed towards future. When you bring responsibility into your thinking your future is getting created. When you enrich yourself and others the best possible future for you is happening. Every moment you brood over the past you are nearing towards death. Listen, that is why the elders when they become aged when they know they don’t have future they are so filled with past. When they are so filled with their past they become useless to others and to themselves. Yesterday somebody gave me the news one international VIP has died. The moment they gave the news I asked ‘Still she is alive?’ That’s all I asked! Means what? The last part of her life she was not active, alive, useful to the society directly.
I tell you only one thing I will not want in my life people asking when I leave the body, ‘Oh! Still he was alive?’ As long as I am alive, people should know I am alive! Means, I am active, alive, kicking around and enriching people!
If you are not enriching people, naturally, when you die, people will ask, ‘Was he alive still?’ ‘Was she alive still?’ Your departure should not be a sudden news; it should be part of the daily news! Your departure should be the end of the daily news, not sudden news! Means, your retirement from the society and your departure should not have any gap.
And I tell you, even after retiring from the body, I am not going to retire from humanity! That is my commitment with humanity! Even after departure, I am not going to depart from humanity!
(34:06) Hindi
Whatever it may take, decide to build your cognition towards your future. Usually it takes 21 days to give a break for you and burn your dead body - past - and put you towards future. That is what I am doing in the Inner Awakening program.
People ask me, ‘Why 21 days?’
Because, it takes 21 days for you to give a break from your past, liberate you from your past, burn your past, because you are so tightly hugging! ‘No, my beloved! Don’t take it away from me! My beloved! My beloved! My beloved! My beloved! Life Life Life. I lived with her for 30 years! 40 years! 50 years! You don’t know where all we went together! What all we did together! How can you take it away? Somebody has to forcibly take your past away to liberate you and help you to take your future.
Even if it is Sati and Shiva, you can’t carry the dead body! Understand, even if it is Sati and Shiva, the dead body has to be burnt, dead body has to be dropped, your past has to be dropped! And you have to be pushed into the future! Only then Parvathi can happen! Meenakshi can happen! If you are carrying the dead body of Sati, possibility of Parvathi is stopped! Manifestation of Meenakshi is deprived! Give farewell to Sati’s body! Allow the possibility of Parvathi! Manifest Meenakshi!
From 13 April to 25 April, we will be having Meenakshi Brahmotsava. This time, it will be very powerful and unique and extraordinary. The sathya we are going to experience this time Meenakshi Brahmotsava is “Manifest Meenakshi”.
Only thing I ask all of you to do today. Take the vow now by raising your hand. With integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching I drop my past which is dead and decide to live my future with responsibility and enriching.
Close your eyes and declare
“I, with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching myself and others, declare, I drop the past which is dead. I give a farewell to my past, decent burial to my past. I am a new consciousness, new being, living with responsibility, and enriching myself and others in the future. Thathaasthu!”
Live this declaration. This is the essence of today’s satsangh.
