When you live intensely, automatically you will be liberated. If you don’t live any moment intensely, what happens?
You cannot feel fulfilled by offering sense pleasures to the senses. Living intensely does not mean fulfilling your senses, pouring pleasures into your senses, or living as you wanted. Somebody asked me, ‘Since bondage and liberation is relative, why not just eat, drink and be merry?’ That is perfectly all right. Be intense. That’s all.…

What is being ?
Being complete, total, integrated, expressing your full energy, is what I call ‘being’. If you are partial in your experience or expression, be very clear you are being hypocritical. Even your anger is hypocritical. You just choose whether to express your anger or not. Your anger is also directly related to your logic. You never…

When you are intense, you just are. You don’t need to become, you just need to be!
There is a beautiful story from one of the ancient vedic texts: A disciple goes to a master and asks him, ‘Master, give me enlightenment.’ The master just says, ‘Tat tvam asi’ nine times. ‘Tat tvam asi’ means ‘That Art Thou’. It is called a mahavakya, the statement that straightaway gives enlightenment. The ‘vakya’ or…

There are no signboards needed for any river to reach ocean, similarly when you are intense and flowing you achieve the goal!
You see, usually we feel a terrible restlessness towards the outer world, ‘I have not done this, I have not done that’ and so on. The same restlessness when directed to the inner world is called intensity. You do not know what is happening, you do not know what should be done, but the deep…

The more the number of engrams, the more clouded is our thought process, and the lower is the productivity!
So much has been written and said about productivity in organizations. Productivity has become the mantra in organizations for the last two or three decades. As a result of invention of computers and new communications technologies such as the internet and cell phone, the world has become a much smaller place. While there has been…

How does the mind work ? What are engrams or samskaras ? How do they influence our being ?
What do I mean by the word, ‘state of the leader’? A true leader is a person who is ready to take responsibility consciously, who is ready to handle life consciously, who is not constantly dependent on the past or his memory. If you are dependent on your memory, if you are dependent on the…

Leadership is not a quality, but an experience that can radiate from an individual who has experienced personal growth and transformation
When we become responsible for others, we no longer are focused on us. We move towards serving other people. Serving other people is leadership.Pandering to one’s own needs without a care about others is absence of leadership. There are so many books these days about leadership and how it is an important part of making…

Working out of overflowing energy, overflowing compassion, and the overflowing feeling of responsibility for everything, is what makes a life spiritual
I always tell people, ‘Do not think you have a certain amount of energy and you will work according to that energy. No. Whatever work and responsibility you take up, the energy starts expressing accordingly. You will have energy according to the responsibilities which you take up. Whatever responsibility you take upon yourself, you will…

He implies that without taking up responsibility for the good of the world, you cannot talk of spiritual liberation. A beautiful story: In a place called Pandaripur…

Cognitive shift happens when you stand up with responsibility
When you take up responsibility, a cognitive shift happens in you. Your mental setup changes. Many of us live life like slaves. For example, if you work eight hours in your office just following orders you will feel dull and tired. Instead, if you take up responsibility and initiative, that same eight hours will become…

Only if we take up responsibility for everything that happens in our lives will we start growing
With the intelligence gained about who we are and what we are doing here, comes the feeling of responsibility for others. We know then that we are not independent of others but interlinked to each other. Some years back, there was an epidemic of tuberculosis in Tamil Nadu in South India. Finally, medicines were found…
