Description:
In today’s morning Satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda gifts us with a new, profound sacred secret for practicing completion. He tells us that the very cognition we carry about ourselves and the world can be altered! It is not something that is fixed like computer hardware. Cognition is like computer software, changeable and reprogrammable. All completions and incompletions we carry are just a function of our cognition that is used to either bind us or liberate us. Paramahamsa Nithyananda gives us the straight technique in which we can create our own new cognition that will directly lead us into a continuous, automatic thought process of completion in every moment!

Today, I will expand on “Instant Process for Completion”.
Please understand, you need to receive it from the space of listening. Instant process for completion. If you listen intensely, end of the satsangh you will be complete.
First, please listen, please come to the space of listening.
I wanted to define ‘Cognition’. I will give you few definitions then I will expand on the process of instant completion. First understand what is ‘Cognition’?
Cognition is receiving information, the process where we receive information through our five senses, process that information internally, relate with it based on your root-patterns, and respond to life from the understandings of your patterns derived from means understanding from your, responding from your pattern, is known as Cognition.
Listen I am repeating, the process where we receive information through five senses, internalize with our patterns, respond based on our patterns, is ‘Cognition’.
Normally, this is Cognition. Now I want you just to understand the second statement I want to make. Please understand, there is no connection between the first statement now I made and the second statement I am making.
I defined Cognition now I am going to define ‘Authenticity’. It is like I am preparing items for cooking. In the end, I will put everything together and cook and give you the food. I am just preparing the ingredients for cooking. First I cut carrot then I cut brinjal. You can’t say, ‘ What is this you cut carrot and without even putting that into the oven, you are cutting brinjal.’No, first I will prepare then I will give you the final understanding.
Listen now, cognition understand the truth about cognition. Receiving information through five senses and internalizing with your root-pattern, responding based on your pattern, is Cognition. Understand Authenticity I am giving you little deeper definition.
‘Authenticity’ is nothing but being sincere to the four aspects of you:
What you feel as you – inner image;
What you project you to others – outer image;
What you think about others and life – others’ image, image about others; and
What others hold you as – others’ expectation.
Mamakāra-inner image, Ahankara-outer image, Svānyakāra-image about others, Anyakāra-others’ expectation about you, what others hold you for; in all these four being sincere. Please listen, being sincere in all these four. Means what?
Having best inner image;
Having best outer image;
Having best idea about others and life; and
Being very sincere about what others hold you for.
I tell you please listen, spend few minutes to sit and define:
What you want to feel about you, what kind of feeling about you will be the best for you, what you think is best you? Define.
What do you think as best outer image for you, what’s the best way you wanted to project you?
What’s the best image you wanted to have about others and life?
What is the best sincere way you want to take responsibility about what others hold you for?
Define all these four anything which disturbs in any one of this is an incompletion.
Understand, anything which disturbs any one of these is an incompletion?All of you understand Authenticity? Listen I am creating separate, separate ingredients, so that in the end, I will give you the complete understanding. It’s one of the powerful revelations I had yesterday night in the Samadhi, because last two days we are having the College of Peethadheeshwars, the meeting of all Sannyasis and Nastika Brahmacharis, Krama Brahmacharis, other than Gurukul kids who don’t need this meeting. We are having a meeting, and where they are discussing and trying to help each other to hold ourself in the highest context and I am personally sitting and spending as much time as I can and helping, enriching. So this was one of of biggest problem many were expressing in the discussion, some for themselves, some when we teach, when we help others, how can we handle this, holding ourself and others in the highest context, in the best possible space? So yesterday whole night, I was sitting with that mood that there should be some clear understanding, experiential solution for this.
I think Kaalabhairava brought this kind of disciples to me so that I will continue to find solutions. So that continuously I will be contemplating and finding more and more solutions which will be used for the whole world, which will be useful for the whole world. See if it was not for this disciples and their problems I will not be contemplating on this I will just pass away into Samadhi and come back the next morning but now because of particular, definite, unsolvable problems, I also contemplate on it and then the truths are revealed which is useful to the whole world.
Listen, please understand I have defined cognition. Now I have defined Authenticity, then I defined incompletion. Now I am giving you one more understanding please understand.
All these four have only you as the central focal point. So, if you are at the peak and best of all these four, you are living in a state of completion. I am just defining don’t worry about how to go it, how to go there, I’ll explain now.
All these four means, inner image – what you feel as you; outer image – what you project you to others; others’ image – what image you have about others and life; and others expectation about you, what others hold you for – anyakāra. In all these four you are the center. Have best inner image. Have best outer image. Have best image about others and life. Decide to hold yourself in the highest space of what others hold you for. Be sincere to all these four is authenticity. Actually, I have defined authenticity completely in a new way.
Anything if you don’t believe even while you are defining, if you have a doubt, ‘Oh, God I don’t think I will ever be able to achieve this state at all.’ That is what I call self-doubt.
If you sit and write, pen down, while you pen down itself your pen will be stuck because the block is not in the ink flowing in the pen, the block is the consciousness flowing into your brain. So if your pen is stuck, be very clear, that is what is self-doubt and I wanted you to understand, consciousness is the ink, Kaala, Time is the paper, your body is the pen, your will is the decision to write. Anything you write in your inner space will become reality. When you write about you even in the outer space, in the paper and pen, if you are stuck or if you have a doubt you will never be able to realize this, that is what I call self-doubt or if you think anything is obstacle for you being sincere in all these four that is the incompletion you have. This is the method to diagnose incompletion. This is the method to diagnose incompletion. Next, please understand, next a very important, dhyana se suniya [listen carefully], listen.
Listen I have defined cognition, authenticity, incompletions, completions. Completion also I have defined theoretically. Now how to experience it, how that can be your life?
One more great news you have cognition is not an established organ of you it can be programmed as you want. Listen from today, you strongly start believing, even with your doubt, self-doubt, and all that, this pillar is God. The way you behave with this pillar and the power of your cognition will make few more others will believe and, maybe in next few months or few years, based on the strength of your cognition, this pillar will be worshipped as a God and it will become a temple.; separate temple will be built for this pillar and I know, in many temples, separate temples are built only for pillar. In Tiruvannamalai there is a temple, there’s shrine called Khambatalaiyanar means there’s a small Subrahmanya carved on a pillar, the great saint Arunagirinathar declared that pillar is a God and that Subrahmanya is a living deity. Power of his cognition and the people around him, their cognitions, now there is a huge separate temple standing just for that pillar. It is a pillar of another one hall, but just for this pillar separate temple is standing, that pillar is the garbha mandir [sanctum temple] now and a separate temple is there.
(19.58 mins)
Same way, if you cognize – in this pillar ghost is there, don’t go near and the power of your cognition, the way you behave and respond to this pillar and the way you affect the others’ cognition about this pillar, in few months people may abandon even this whole hall, may never enter in. How many of you cognize what I am saying?
So please understand, your cognition is not a natural organ of your system it is programmable, transformable, possible software it is not hardware. Because it is there for quite a long time, you mistake the difference between software and hardware. Your eye is hardware, your ear is hardware, but your hearing is software, seeing is software.
Please listen because you continuously see, you forget seeing is a programmable, seeing is changeable, seeing is transformable. Cognition is changeable, programmable, transformable. This is the great news. Listen this is the great news.
Even your doubt, ‘Who wants to change? I even have laziness to wanting to change.I have doubt whether I really want to even change’, even that can be changed, that is the beauty of cognition. Why do you have a doubt? You try to go on without lighting the stove. You brought a vessel and you put all that, try digging, digging, digging, shaking, shaking, doing everything. You try ten times. Then after that you decide the whole science of cooking is a false, lie. But you forget that one of the important things required for cooking is fire which you did not create. ‘Do I want to change? I feel lazy.’ is also one more cognition you have, is also one more cognition which is transformable which is changeable. Everything that exists and you experience as reality stems only from your cognition. All incompletions are functions of only your cognition. Listen, so whether it is incompletions or completion, it is your cognition.
The great news is cognition is changeable, transformable.
All completion is also only your cognition. All completion is your cognition. All incompletion is your cognition. Your cognition alone binds you. Your cognition alone liberates you.
Now you need to understand please listen.
First, pen down all the four items. Not now later on sit and pen down, now drop your paper and pen , later on sit and pen down all these four:
Most sincere inner image – what you want for you.
Most sincere outer image – what you want to project as you.
Most sincere image about others and life – what you want to carry.
The most sincere others’ image – how you want to hold yourself up to that.
Make a clear description, then write, start penning down what all is the obstruction, what all obstacles for you realizing that. Those obstacles, those obstructions, listen, those obstructions are incompletions. Before entering into conclusion I wanted all of you to understand only then the conclusion will work. Before starting the cooking you have to keep all the ingredients ready. After lighting the fire you cannot run and make paddy into rice.
You can’t say, ‘Oh, God! I forgot to cut vegetables! I have a full pumpkin! What can I? Shall I throw the whole thing?’ No you can’t. What are all the obstacles that come in the way of you being in the peak and best of all these four at any given point in time, are incompletions.
Pen down all the incompletions. Please listen, after you pen down all the incompletions, understand, it is your cognition, which is changeable. Actually you have only one root-pattern that ‘your cognition cannot be changed’ Listen the root of the root-pattern is only one: ‘Your cognition cannot be changed.’ Because of that root of the root-pattern ‘your cognition cannot be changed’, no completion works on you. You stand in the train see you are going from here to Varanasi, train stops at Mughalsarai Station from where you have to go to Varanasi, you see the board Mughalsarai, and you never get down from that train into the platform. Train moved before you get down but you don’t remember, realize that and you start walking inside the train itself to and fro, to and fro. Will you reach Varanasi? Once, Mulla Nasruddin was going in a boat he started walking to and fro inside the boat.
The boatman said, ‘Sir, why don’t you sit down?’ This guy says, ‘No, I have no time to sit down! I am in a hurry to reach the place! I have to walk quickly!’Walking quickly inside the boat is not going to take you anywhere.
So with a strong root of the root-pattern that ‘cognition is not changeable’, any amount of completion is not going to work for you. First understanding you need is, cognition is changeable. You may not be able to cook for the last twenty years because you forgot how to light the fire because of that the whole science of cooking is not lie, false. Getting it?
Same way, with this deep cognition that ‘cognition is not changeable; may be changeable for others, but not for me’, with that cognition any completion you do, what will be the result? Zero.
Understand cognition is changeable. Cognition is changeable, transformable, is the first cognition you need to have. That is the first cognition you need to have. Whenever people will realized cognition is changeable, spontaneous enlightenment happens.
Please understand, people who do completion, completion, completion, completion, completion with this basic root-pattern of cognition is not changeable, then finally, at one point, they break and understand that cognition is changeable, become enlightened, that is called enlightenment process, gradual enlightenment. People who understand immediately, cognition is changeable, and awaken, are people who have become spontaneously enlightened, instant enlightenment. Understand, cognition is changeable. With this truth as fire, the ingredients you need to add into the vessel is the right inner image, sincere Mamakāra, sincere Ahankara, sincere Anyakaara, sincere Svanyakaara. It can be up to your sincerity. It does not need to be up to others sincere, your sincere. Add these four ingredients and remove the skin while you cook, you remove many vegetable skin peel it off and throw away. What’s the skin need to be removed? It is the obstruction for all these four. The incompletions are the skin you need to peel and remove and please understand in cooking you need to peel the skin and remove, here with the process of enlightenment, you don’t even need to do that.
Just if you decide, please listen, just you decide that, ‘With these authentic four components of me, from now onwards, I cognize, I decide to cognize these authentic four definitions of me as me, and anything which is obstacle I decide to disown them, I decide not to recognize their presence any more in me.’ Just the decision is enough.
Now I know you will have, ‘Oh, I can’t decide because i have decided many times like this but it never worked’ That’s the one more thing you need to throw with your decision. And, you have a problem, ‘No, no, all this I do but, after two days, I forget the whole thing, I’ll feel bored I’ll feel tired, I forget then nothing works for me.’Please listen, all these days you never allowed the truth of cognition is changeable, you go on believing, because you are seeing from the time of your birth, seeing is hardware of you like eyes, you don’t separate eyes and seeing, you don’t separate ears and hearing, you don’t separate tongue and tasting. If it is there, it is there, which is not truth.
Cognition is changeable. Cognition is transformable. With this clarity the cognition is changeable, cognition is transformable, decide. I tell you, just know your incompletions with this clarity of cognition is changeable, the incompletions will lose power over you. Incompletions will have power over you as long as you feel cognition is not changeable. Come on be integrated, authentic while you answer how many of you strongly believed till today unconsciously that cognition is not changeable? Raise the hand.
With this unconscious baseline, any completion you do is not going to work. Any completion you do is not going to work, because you are walking inside the boat is walking inside the boat going to make you reach somewhere quickly? Is it going to reach you to the place quickly? Listen if the basic cognition has not changed nothing, nothing can be done. I have a story for you guys. A professional fund raiser, called upon a well-known miser, very well-known miser. I tell you, misers are the most poor, animal creatures lives on the planet Earth So, a well-known professional fund raiser called upon a well-known miser and says, ‘Sir, I am seeking contributions for a worthy charity work. The project is one hundred thousand, and a well-known philanthropist, another philanthropist, rich man in your town, has already donated a quarter of that.’
The miser says, ‘Wonderful! I will give you another quarter have you change for a dollar?’
Please understand I think many of you missed, ‘I’ll give you another quarter do you have change for a dollar?’ Till the miser’s cognition is changed, nothing can be done. What fundraiser meant is, $25,000 is charity given by a philanthropist. This fellow thinks, ‘Oh, he gave a quarter , I will also give a quarter !’ The cognition, the basic cognition, that cognition can be changed, if that doesn’t strike you, no completions will work. If you come to the clarity cognition can be changed, simply that very idea that cognition can be changed can lead to completion.
Listen, with this one idea cognition can be changed, with this one idea, you pen down all the incompletions and look in, decide to think based on the truth cognition can be changed, and authenticity, the best I which I want, the best outer image which I want, best image about others and life which I want, best way of holding me up to others’ expectations, what others hold me up. In these four, listen, just if you start thinking in this line, your very thinking is a completion process. Please get it I have delivered the climax. Without any completion process separately with the truth cognition is changeable, and best of these four is you, and anything other than you is incompletion, and deciding to live by the best four you decided about you as you, decide to think only in that line from now on, you will see spontaneous completion. Your very thinking process is completion. Now you have another doubt. ‘No, no after two days if I fall back into the same forgetfulness, what shall I do? I may fall back into the space of I need completion, I need incompletion, I need to create, clear incompletion.’ It is one of the biggest questions we have. After you are told about your need, do you forget? So, these major truths when it is revealed, you start processing with that, you don’t forget. You may forget the dress color you wear, you may forget the food you ate few days before in the breakfast, but you will not forget you have to eat, you will not forget you have to wear a dress. Understand, you won’t forget that you have to eat. You can’t forget you have to dress up. These strong important facts you don’t forget. Don’t bring your self-doubting pattern before even you start the process. That is also one more cognition which can be changed, which can be changed. With this cognition, your simple, regular thinking, and day-to-day life itself becomes completion. Your dreams becomes completion. Even in your dream you will complete and release the patterns with which you are struggling. Your dreams become completion. Your thinking becomes completion.
Understand, I am giving you some of the deepest, sacred secrets. Even if you understand your cognition can be changed, for example, you are seeing this pillar as a pillar. Today if I declare this as God and start worshipping it within ten days you will see this as God. Your cognition can be changed. If I declare this pillar as a demon, in few days you will see demon in it. Your cognition can be changed. So have this understanding, know what is you, what is your incompletions. With this, with the understanding cognition can be changed, start living and thinking. Your very thinking will be completion. This is the science of spontaneous completion, instant completion
Understand, just, just having the clear decision, having the clear decision, thinking with that decision, having the clear decision thinking with that decision. Nothing else is required and you also need to know, you don’t put conscious effort to remember your name. I have seen, whenever I give a spiritual name to people by next three day, four day, they forget their old name. How many of you forgot your old name? Even in your dream you think only about your new name, spiritual name. It is not that only the people received the name long before even few days before people who receive the spiritual name will suddenly forget the old name. So when you remember this is your new name you don’t need to make new effort, special effort to keep that name in your memory. If you remember this truth, cognition is changeable, you don’t need to put any effort to remember it and put a special energy to cognize it. Just the remembrance leads to completion, remembrance leads to completion.
yasya smarana mātrena janma samāara bandhanāt |
vimuchyate namastasmai viśnave prabha viśnave ||
That is what is the meaning of this word. ‘The moment I remember, I am led to completion and liberation. O Lord, I bow down to thee who liberates me just by the remembrance.”
There is a beautiful verse:
Yasya smarana maathrena janma samsaara bandhanaath |
Vimuchyathey namasthasmai vishnavey prabha vishnavey ||
Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share and explode in eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
