Create your reality

The straight way to make all the accidents of your life into possibilities is by taking responsibility for them.

When you can't take responsibility, even the air that goes inside you can be an accident and stop your heart; it won't come out! If you are ready to take the responsibility, even if poison goes inside you, it can become part of you and make you stronger!

When you take responsibility, you have the power to construct the reality of your choice.

I am neither talking about some corporate values and principles, nor about the truths that the ancient ṛṣis have uttered in the Upanishads. No! I am talking to you from my direct experience, about what you can experience. I am talking from the context of responsibility, for the purpose of making YOU responsible. I am responsible for making you experience responsibility as I experienced it!

You need to know this truth. When you cognize that you are responsible for everything, including what you think as accidents, the way you perceive and experience the world becomes different. When you are able

to perceive the world differently, you will even be able to change the facts of the world! When you perceive the truth of the world in a different way, you can change the facts of the world.

No revolution can change the world. Only evolution can change the world! When you evolve, you can just sit with responsibility under a banyan tree in a forest, and a city will happen around you! People will come who want to learn the truth from you. Nothing else is required.

Taking responsibility for whatever happened in your life can make the accidents in your life into possibilities.

How ordinary people do extraordinary things

What is the secret of ordinary people who do extraordinary things?

Listen: just the willingness to take responsibility and stretch yourself simply opens you to the whole cosmic energy. No matter what the situation, when you declare that you will do whatever it takes, when you stand up with responsibility, you become a channel for the divine energy to flow through you.

Can air flow through a solid bamboo pole? No! A bamboo pole can only help carry a dead body to the graveyard! When the same bamboo becomes hollow, it become a flute!

As long as you are self-centred, you will serve like the blocked bamboo. When you stand up with responsibility, the expansion happens, and you become like the bamboo flute. Then, just as the air that enters the bamboo expresses as music, the air that enters you will express from you as energy, and great things will happen through you! When you feel responsible for whatever is happening around you, you spontaneously start transforming your life and others' lives.

When you declare with responsibility, you become a channel for divine energy to flow through you.
