Responsibility
Description
Responsibility (Upaayanam) means living, thinking, speaking and acting, responding to life from the truth that you are the source of everything happening inside and around you. Therefore you are responsible for all happenings inside and outside you.
The person who does not feel responsible even for his own actions is an animal – he lives in a very low consciousness. The person who feels responsible for his own actions is a human being – he lives in a middle level consciousness. The person who takes responsibility even for others’ actions is divine – he lives in leadership consciousness – ishvaratva. Sometimes you may not be the reason for some happenings, but if it is affecting your life, you are responsible for those happenings. Just because you are not the reason as per your logic, you can’t say you are not responsible in truth.
Everybody asks me, ‘Swamiji, how can we be responsible for things for which we are not the reason?’ Being a reason or cause is different; being responsible is different. Sometimes you may not be directly the cause or the reason, but when you understand you are responsible, you will be able to solve it.
When you take Responsibility for Vyaktha (what you see and experience), Avyaktha (what you don't see and experience) takes Responsibility for you.
If you take responsibility for all known things, the unknown takes responsibility for you. If you take responsibility for the known part of the world, the unknown part of the world - GOD - takes responsibility for you. When God takes responsibility for you, you are God! You are Incarnation! Incarnation is a being who takes responsibility for everything...!
Here is a video that describes this truth and power in more detail.
