How to Discover Your Individuality?

1. What is individuality?  Being yourself unconditioned by any religion,  any system of education, any social practices and any person is individuality. People like to have individuality, to be different from others because it will give them recognition,  new identity.  But Individuality is just your nature.  There is no question of developing individuality.  It's your totality.  It will find its expression,  it will flower automatically when you don't condition yourself.  When the individuality overflows from you,  you pour it into an article, poetry,   drawing,  speech, dance,  singing, etc.  Then it's labelled creativity. 

2. Do you want to discover your  individuality? To be an individual,  accept your nature and follow your heart. Accept what you are now and allow yourself to grow as naturally as a tree. Let your heart flow as freely as the river on its own path.   Individuality is not being different from others.  It's being what you are. 

3. Individuality versus Crowd.  All people who don't have individuality  are the crowd. Nobody in the world is an individual.  Nobody can be an individual as long as they are in a system and blindly follow the established social order. Don't you feel, you are part of the crowd when you say good morning and thank you, repeating the same mechanically for thousands of days? You don't refuse,  still you follow because it's from your parents. You don't argue, still you do since it is from your teacher.  You don't agree in your heart,  still you obey because it's from your boss or higher officials.  You are affected by the corrupt system, by the rules and regulations,  without justice still you keep amazing silence and patience, remain in the same crowd. 

4.Persons with individuality are burnt alive in every system by demands and commands, by borders and orders and by rules and regulations.  There is an ugly proverb against the individuality  – “ Go with the crowd. “ It means “Commit suicide. “ It means "have no individuality".Once you are in the crowd for a long time,  you start supporting the crowd.  You start speaking for the crowd. Remember,  Persons with individuality  don’t speak for the crowd, don't speak for the likes and recognition, don’t speak on trending topics for earning money on YouTube. They speak only when it’s required, speak only what they feel inside and speak expecting nothing in return. 

5.  All people who have been programmed to speak in a particular way, to behave in a particular way and to do their daily activities in a particular way are not individuals but the crowd.  All people who are obeying the directions of others without any question are the crowd. You are programmed by your parents,  teachers, boss, religious leaders and the law makers to follow the path of the crowd. You sacrifice your individuality just for the social security, welfare of the family and financial benefits. 

6. The society wants only obedient people.  The system  wants only the obedient people. All people who blindly obey somebody are the slaves  The crowd has only boss and slaves, many a time the higher official will also be a slave to his higher official.  The individuals are not slaves but independent people. They are not bound by any rules, by anybody and by any systems and  customs.

7. Through threats and punishments from the system and govt, also because of their commiment to the family,the individuals will soon be brought back to the track of the crowd. Individuality is a matter of life and death.  It’s a matter of freedom and slavery. But you can no longer stand against the crowd as long as you are in a society,  so far as you are in a system. 

8. What is the solution?  The choice is in your hand. Decide whether you want to be an individual or a part of the crowd.  You can’t be both. Yes those who are individuals cannot be in the crowd.  Those who are in the crowd can never be individuals. 

9. If you want to live with individuality,  with freedom, with self esteem,  with intelligence,  with consciousness,  with eternal bliss,  be yourself and prepare and practice yourself for that. If you want social security,  social recognition and a well settled position in the society, be in the crowd as you are now until you wake up one day. No planning or special training is required. Just take your mask and wear it for another long mad run until someone comes and knocks at your heart. 

10. The world is always ruled by the crowd.  It's for the crowd.  But the individuals are ruled by themselves. They always  live independently in their own world.

About Renunciation

1. Renunciation is a stupid idea for three categories of people: those aspiring with billionaires dream,  those who have renounced and suffer now without food and shelter and those who who consider the very idea of renunciation is basically wrong since we come without and go without and have nothing to renounce.

2. The idea of renunciation is as false as the idea of owning.

3. All are visitors of the earth with the entrance gate birth and exit gate death.  Everyone on earth is entitled to use everything on earth by birth. There are no owners but only users and managers. Discovering yourself from owners to users is a divine promotion.

4. Earth is Provident, plentiful and inexhaustive. Everyone can use if no one owns. If no one owns,  there is no question of renunciation.

5. You are Everything.  Which one do you want to renounce?

6. Nothingness exists before birth and after death.  Life is a journey from nothingness to nothingness – a short one act play with many roles.  Act at your best to the greatest satisfaction of God the Director. Let the lamp glow till the oil remains. Till the darkness swallow the light.

7. The seeker and the searched are the same.  The watcher and the watched are the same.  The knower and the one to be known are the same. Where do you go after renouncing?

8. The flower can’t renounce the fragrance.  The moon can’t renounce the light.  The rainbow need not renounce its beauty.  You are whole and everything is your parts. Which part are you going to renounce?

9. Don’t leave home to come Home because you are the Home and the Resident.

10. You cannot choose the path of renunciation because you are the traveler,  you are the path and you are the destination.

Difference Between Teacher and Master

1. A teacher informs and makes you learn more and more and become knowledgeable.  A master awakens you from long sleep,  and if the knowledge you have accumulated is a barrier in realising truth,  he makes you unlearn more and more, makes you empty your mind and grow silent for realising the ultimate truth.

2. A teacher educates you about the society,  trains you to acquire skills and prepares you for the survival in outer world whereas a master enlightens you about your own Self, about the inner world and guides you on the path of inner journey to come Home.

3. A teacher teaches you languages and enables you to effectively communicate with fellow human beings while a master passes you the language of silence to communicate with birds,  animals,  trees, sun,  wind and the entire nature.

4. The more you learn with your teacher,  the more you become rich in knowledge,  wealth,  reputation and comforts.  The more you occupy your Master’s being,  the more you grow into Universal Being, breathing in truth and breathing out your fragrance around you.

5. You will meet your teacher in every birth but you can meet master only in your last birth.

6. After the last class,  you leave your teacher who but comes along with till your death in all your applications of knowledge,  in all your thinking,  speech and walks of life. At the last stage of your spiritual journey, you fully become your master’s self and get immersed totally in the infinite self.

7. Your teacher teaches you past inventions and verified facts and prepares you for a better future whereas  your master guides you live in the present. He relieves you from the burdensome thoughts of past and haunting expectations of the future to live consciously here and now.

8. With your teacher,  you learn to own more and more and with your master,  you are able to disown more and more mentally.

9. You leave your home to see your teacher but you meet your master to come Home.

Stage 4: (one minute)
Still go back to the first day you were in your mother’s womb.  When your parents loved each other,  millions of life force sperm cells rushed from your father’s sperm towards your mother’s egg. But only one entered your mother’s ovam that closed soon  denying access for other sperm cells.  The one that entered is you.  You soon got multiplied into 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024… and few hours in millions. According to the hereditary imprints you brought from your father and mother,  you started building your own body.
