Description:

From the works of Enlightened Living Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this discourse Swamiji talks about how we have two personalities -- one that we project to the outer world and one we project to ourselves. If one can integrate both identities you can escape into life rather than escape away from life.

escaped into life we all know escaping from life every magazine you open every newspaper you open continuously you will see advertisements to escape from life advertisements research holiday resorts vacation beaches hotels all of them are constantly telling you to escape from life but I am saying escape into life concept about life if it is clear then we'll know what I mean by the word escape into life life is not the fight between you are two identities you carry to identity identity which you show to the outer world which you want the world to believe as you and the identity which you carry in the inner world as you see the identity which you show to the outer world will always be much more than what you are because you are constantly taught how to sell yourself it is a little more than what you are it will always be more than what you are and the identity which you carry in the inner world and you believe is believe it as you will be always less than what you are that is show you are constantly fighting with you identity which you show to the outer world and the identity which you believe as you in the inner world our life is nothing but a struggle between these two the fight between these two struggle between these two is what I call tension or stress if you think this is life then you have to escape from life but this is not life life is the space life is the energy that these two identities do not exist one beautiful thing is when these two identities meet with each other when they are connected to each other both of them disappear they can be allowed as long as the gap is there in between both of them the identity which you show to the outer world and the identity which you believe as you in the inner world these two identities will exist only as long as there is a gap between these two means you should not be a person whom you are projecting to the outer world if you integrate both of them suddenly you will see both of them disappear and you are stepping into life Ramakrishna says beautifully the moment you integrate your heart and the words month move acre in Bengal he says you are being and the world when both of them are connected integrated you are liberated the two identities the identity which you show to the outer world how we want to be recognized it will always be more than what we are and identity which we believers as in the inner world it will always be lower than what we are you always calculate about yourself only based on your request actions you remember only the failures the identity we use in Sanskrit we have two words in Sanskrit a hunka mamakaara ahankaara is one which we project to the outer world Muraki which we believers as the inner world the fight between these two is what I call mind our ego if you live only with your mind then you have to escape from life but if you know the life is beyond this to conquer and Monica then you have to escape into life escaping from life escaping into life two different things you are all of you must have tried enough of thanks escaping from life all of you must have tried enough because constantly you are bombarded with the advertisements the moment is switch on the TV you see photographs and as the moment you open the magazines you see ads in the newspaper you see ads everywhere you see ads with a beautiful swimsuit lying under a beach are rank of a swimming pool I am here a lake in some vacation resort the photograph is constantly promising you if you go to that place and lie down you will be in heaven so if the visual prom is given to you you also tried many times I think every one of you would have tried at least few times but it's not happening and even in your own inner space when you see those advertisements when you see a beautiful snow-covered mountain or a beautiful hill or a vast ocean in the photograph hard and the ad are in TV you feel if you go to that place and lie down like that you will be in heaven but when you go there and touch the same chair same spot same weather even the same glass and lie down but you are not in heaven what is happening where you are missing if you look little deep inside you will understand when you see the photograph when you see those moments in the ad where you want to go there what you feel you will be in heaven if you go there but if you go there physically you don't feel that same thing if you look a little deep you will understand why actually deep down all of us want to go away somewhere where nobody knows us where you don't need to hold on to your identity for your survival where you don't need to constantly protect hold on keep that identity like a shield see your identities in the initial level you created it for protection as a shield but by and by because you don't know how to relax from it it has become prison if you know the door is open this is a room if you don't have a key and it is locked this is prison identity I have show you bait it to be a hem but by and by when you don't know how to relax from it it has become prison so deep down all of us have the craving to go away somewhere where you don't need to hold on to your identity you don't need to constantly protect yourself with your identity the desire for vacation is nothing but the desire to be without your identity if you understand this basic truth you don't have to escape from life you can escape into life you you
