Welcome to Mohanji Speaks.

Hello friends,

Hope you are doing well.

Today a couple of thoughts I want to share with you.

I will come to the point straight away without much ado.

Before I start,

A story that came to my mind,

This I read when I was in my teens,

But it stayed with me.

This is from the Sherlock Holmes series by Arthur Conan Doyle.

I am sure most of you would have read most of these works.

Here we have the super intelligent Sherlock Holmes and Dr.

Watson who is always fascinated by the intelligence of Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes has the ability to see what others don't see usually,

Which helps in solving mysteries effortlessly.

This always fascinated Dr.

Watson.

One day in that story,

Watson is asking Sherlock Holmes,

How do you have this clarity,

This intelligence?

How do you manage this?

Sherlock Holmes answered quite matter of factually,

He said,

Look here Watson,

My mind is uncluttered.

What information I need,

That's the only one that I store.

In other words,

I only store information that I can use,

That I need.

I do not store anything random in my mind,

So I can retrieve it effortlessly.

Now you consider your mind,

How much of information have you collected and stored in your mind,

Which are pretty much useless or pretty much irrelevant when time passes by.

The information that I have in my mind is always fresh and usable.

We have so many different information entering our system,

Entering our mind every day,

Politics,

Sports,

Various things of life we are interested in and we collect those information and we store them without our knowledge.

While the information that are essential for us to remember gets mixed up with the information that we have collected and stored unconsciously or spontaneously,

What happens eventually?

Everything gets mixed up and to retrieve something at the right time becomes impossible.

You wouldn't remember.

The lack of memory in most cases is because of the clutter of our mind.

It's because we have stored too much.

Just like Sherlock Holmes said,

If you store only what you really need in your life,

What are essential in your life,

You can prevent memory losses.

Memory loss is usually connected to our burdened mind.

Too much of data,

Too much information that causes clutter.

This was the thought which came to me this morning,

Which I thought we'll share with you and it continued to another dimension.

This is a thought about wastage of time.

How much time we waste in life chasing rainbows,

Illusions,

Illusory things,

Quite a lot.

If we can avoid chasing rainbows and stay with the reality of everyday existence,

Life will be uncluttered.

We get fascinated by others' stories,

Opinions,

Concepts,

Temptations and we chase them and we deviate,

Take detours to chase them,

To find them or to experience them and often we don't get there because they don't exist.

Rainbows are beautiful from a distance but you try going towards it.

When you reach closer,

It's just water vapour,

Pretty much invisible.

Many things that you see from a distance do not have value when you come closer to it.

Same like when we do not have something,

We attach a lot of value to that thing but when you really get it,

It loses value.

This is our life.

This is how we live every moment.

This understanding might help you to reposition yourself,

To choose what is relevant and what is not so relevant in life.

If we choose what is relevant in life based on practical,

Realistic criterions,

We can ignore the irrelevant things spontaneously.

We are what occupies our mind.

What occupies our mind holds us,

Moulds us.

So we are what occupies our mind.

This is our choice.

We can occupy our mind with high elevated thoughts.

Thoughts of grandeur,

Thoughts of higher elevation,

Thoughts of super conscious states connected to a master,

Thoughts of the masters.

We can occupy our mind with great things but there will be struggles.

Struggles from our desires,

Our native laziness,

Our tendencies and inclinations,

They all try to pull you left and right,

Up and down.

We got to tackle them because they are living with us.

They are like family members who have interest in you,

Who believe that this is what you are born for or these tendencies are part of your system.

You can't avoid them.

What occupies your mind makes you,

If this understanding is clear,

You can choose to fill your mind with the right thoughts.

In fact you don't have control over thoughts.

Thoughts just happen spontaneously with time.

But we can choose to occupy our mind,

To engage,

To apply our mind on positive,

Regenerative,

Rejuvenative matter and such information which will enhance you and enhance the world around you so that the world reciprocates that back to you.

What you give to the world,

You get from the world.

When you give yourself to the world,

The world gives itself to you.

This is in control of everybody.

You can all choose to do this.

You can control these factors.

It's an attitude.

So we can definitely choose to be different,

To be ourselves,

Connect to our highest possibilities and express that to the world.

Our value always is what we give to the world.

Today I would like to tell you about one aspect of our life,

Just throw some light on it so that you could ponder on it.

We have so many people around us who love us unconditionally,

Who care for us,

Who respect us and those who have value for us or we have value for them and those to whom we have a value,

They value us.

Don't we ignore those people in life and we try to impress or chase people who do not really care about us,

Who are indifferent towards us.

I am sure all of you have experienced that.

There are people who really love you,

Care for you but they are insignificant in your life or you don't care,

You are indifferent towards them and there are people who really don't care about you,

They don't love you but you really want their affection and you do everything possible so that they love you,

They accept you which won't happen and the result is disappointment.

And usually or sometimes it so happens that we hurt the people who love us because our mind is occupied on what we do not have.

We totally ignore what we have.

This is one of the tragedies of existence.

All of us have some people who really care for us and all of us have people who we love and want them to care for us but due to whatever reasons,

They are indifferent towards us.

What should you do?

Ideally,

What is the right thing to do?

Ignore those who are indifferent even if you love them,

If you like them to love you or are like them to be affectionate towards you but they are indifferent towards you.

Ignore them completely.

Respect them,

Love them but ignore them and ignore their impact in your life so that you won't get hurt by their indifference which will help your self-esteem.

Meanwhile focus on those who really love you,

Care for you and give them back,

Reciprocate the same.

If we live our life in this manner that means love those who love us that means you reciprocate love and we ignore those who do not love us or those who are indifferent towards us.

And don't analyze the reason.

It could be simply unmatched frequency.

Frequency is not matching that's why they can't communicate with you.

That's probably why they don't understand your love or care or your need for their attention.

So ignore them and accept,

Respect,

Deeply love those who really care for you.

Do not hurt them ever so that your life will be stable,

You will have better balance in life and you will feel good because you are reciprocating evenly the emotions that you receive.

Imagine you are getting love from somebody but you are giving back hatred there is already imbalance.

If you get love,

Give love.

So reciprocate evenly and that will stabilize you.

I leave you with these thoughts how to unclutter your mind,

How to prioritize and how to balance yourself in the society.

Think it over,

Share it if you liked it and we'll meet again later.

This is Mohanji for you.
