Hello my dear friends,

This is Mohanji.

Hope you are doing well.

Thus,

2020 is coming to an end.

I think the main theme of 2020 was staying alive.

Survival.

Whatever our plans were at the beginning of the year,

Whatever our resolutions were at the beginning of the year,

I believe most of us could not accomplish them.

It's not our fault.

This is a clear sign of how nature or environment takes decisions in our life.

We had taken decisions in our life earlier,

But now we realise that we can't take any decisions anymore or not as we used to do before.

We can take decisions to love instead of hate.

We can take decision to support instead of rejection.

We can take so many good decisions.

We still have that power.

But 2020 was peculiar.

I don't think in our lifetime we ever experienced a year like that.

And it still continues.

Covid does not have new year.

It is continuing.

A situation,

A calamity like this may not have a boundary.

We still are under the threat.

We still have that uncertainty.

But 2020 gave us invaluable lessons.

Number one,

Companionship,

Supporting each other.

Number two,

How to handle uncertainty.

Even if we are angry,

Upset,

Even if we are not feeling good because of restrictions,

Nothing we can do.

Our limitations were shown on our face by Covid.

And also it was a warning bell that nature has more power than humans.

Apparently,

This Covid is a manmade calamity.

What do we learn out of this?

That we can take any decisions we like,

But nature also plays a role.

Extreme flexibility had to be maintained.

There's nothing else you could do.

And those who survived were also flexible.

They accepted the situation,

They went through the process and they survived.

Many people couldn't.

Of course,

They had physical problems as well.

We have to have physical and psychological health maintained together.

If these are maintained properly together,

Then we can have a flexible life,

A good life.

So now 2021 is happening.

For us,

It's a new year.

But for nature,

There's no new year.

It's a continuation.

And in that continuation,

We have various changes happening,

Various reformations,

Resurrections.

So many things are happening.

2021,

When I look at it,

I look at it as a potential year of resurrection.

Means you can reinvent yourself.

And that has to be connected to flexibility.

There's no other way.

Likewise,

Let us look at what we potentially can do or possibly can do.

Maybe we can make better friendships,

Take initiatives.

This is something which we can do.

Before we reap,

We have to sow.

Before we ask for appreciation,

We have to do the right action.

Like that our initiative is very important in every aspect of our life.

How much initiative do you have?

Are you an imitator?

When somebody is doing something and you're imitating or are you innovative?

This question you have to ask yourself,

Are you imitating or are you innovating?

Are you taking initiative or are you waiting for others to take initiative?

If others are taking initiative,

You may not have the necessary effect in your life.

If you're taking initiative,

It's a different story.

Take the first step for your own improvement,

For your own betterment.

Take steps,

Take solid steps.

This is very important because many times we complain that things are not changing but we don't ask ourselves,

Did I really take initiative?

This question we don't ask.

It's important that we take initiative.

Take the step.

Without initiative,

Without taking the first step,

There is no second step.

We have to take the step.

When we talk about new rejuvenated,

Positive life ahead,

We have to take steps for that.

And while we are taking steps,

We must also be considerate about other people.

It should not be a selfish step.

We should not take selfish,

Only for us,

Steps.

We should look at what else I can do for this world,

Just like helping the helpless.

And likewise,

Do not jump into judgments.

Understand the situation clearly before you take a decision or before you make an opinion.

This is very important.

You take positive steps considering how it will impact your society as well or people around you as well so that there is harmony.

Take good steps which will give positivity,

Continuity,

Consistency,

Stability to others as well.

Likewise do not take decisions without ascertaining,

Understanding the situation.

Do not operate on assumptions,

Please.

Because whenever you operate on assumptions,

The chances for failure is very high.

Take your time to understand,

Analyse,

Even dissect a problem or a situation sufficiently so that you can take reasonably good decisions.

This is especially so in 2021.

Because we have also seen that people took harsh decisions because of pressure from within,

Because of restrictions which we could not control or we were surprised with.

And people jumped into decisions and they suffered.

We can avoid all that next year.

Likewise so many people will give us opinions,

Various opinions including medical opinions.

But we should not practice all those.

We should ask a proper practitioner,

An expert before we take any such decisions or accept any opinions.

We have seen various videos,

Various forwarded material which suggests us to take certain medications as precaution.

I would recommend that you should not take any forwarded messages for granted until and unless you check with an expert with their approval only you should decide whether to proceed or not.

Otherwise it could be catastrophic.

Then one of the major major blessings of life are good friends,

Good company.

Fortunately for us we have global friendships and companionships.

We have good company.

We must appreciate it.

We must do everything possible to maintain it.

And we must take extra precaution to weed out selfishness from it.

Everybody all of us must ensure that we should take selfishness out of this beautiful family ship.

One of the major things I would like to tell for 2021 is initiate you.

Take initiate you.

Take the first step.

Second accept situation as it is and remain flexible.

Then third nurture companionships and friendships and encourage more and more of selflessness and weed out selfishness.

Then fourth communicate.

Communicate with kindness.

Communicate with benevolence.

Make sure everybody are okay within our circle,

Within our family or our extended family.

Make sure people are fine.

We cannot reach 7.

5 billion people easily.

But at least we can reach all our known people or even the extended known people and make sure all people are okay.

Some of them might be shy to tell you they are not okay.

So we must extend our hands.

This we can make as a culture.

Fifth I would like to say respect.

Respect everything.

Respect life.

Respect people around you.

Respect the materials you use.

Respect the nature,

All the beings of the nature.

Take care of everybody.

Let us maintain a culture of respect.

Let us cultivate this tradition of respect.

The tradition of liberation is rooted in respect.

When we respect we will not waste.

We must respect our life and every life.

We must respect all the materials that we have,

All the people,

All the relations,

All the possessions and positions.

We must not enter into corruption,

Selfishness,

Greed or any vices that could affect us and others adversely.

This is approximately what I wanted to say for the new year.

I have already made a video wishing you a new year.

This is in addition.

Let's say goodbye to 2020 with gratitude for teaching us invaluable lessons.

And we must spend some time today to analyse these lessons and probably there are much more.

We might have learned many more lessons.

Maybe restrictions in movement,

Restrictions in money,

Restrictions in job.

We couldn't spend enough time with our loved ones.

All those things,

Various things.

So think about all these things and understand as a species how limited we are.

Now 2021 we are again plunging into uncertainties.

We have no choice.

So how do we survive?

Taking or making use of the lessons learned in 2020 we can make a proper flexible plan for 2021.

And while you make the plan add a lot of love into it,

A lot of respect into it,

A lot of acceptance into it.

Let your plan be filled with acceptance,

Respect,

Love.

I wish you a great 2021 and beyond.

Let's walk together.

Let's not judge each other.

Let's not doubt.

Let's not criticise.

Let us not compare and compete.

Instead let us just love.

It's a short life.

Let us use it well.

Let us enjoy it well.

Let us be together.

I wish you great togetherness and great companionship.

We are one world,

One family.

Lots of love.

Thank you for your energy.
