Welcome to Mohanji Speaks.
Hello friends.
Hope you are doing well.
Today,
Let's talk about one very famous quote by Swami Vivekananda which goes like this.
We can forsake anything in the world for the sake of truth,
But we should not forsake truth for the sake of anything.
This is a very deep and profound statement.
What does that mean?
You can forsake anything in the world for the sake of truth,
But you should not forsake truth for the sake of anything.
What is the ultimate truth that you are born with,
That exists with you and travels with you or stays with you until death?
And that survives death as well.
That's your soul principle.
That is the real truth that we always live with.
So when you say or when Vivekananda said that we can forsake anything in the world,
They are all temporary.
The places,
The time,
The people,
The relationships,
The materials,
The positions and positions are all temporary.
Atma Tatva,
The soul principle is permanent.
If you sell your soul for the sake of the world,
You lose your soul and you will anyway lose the world because the world is impermanent,
Temporary.
But if you forsake anything in the world for the sake of your soul or you invest your time in your soul,
Then you have the soul forever.
Let's talk about the other side of it.
How do you forsake your soul for the things of the world?
Usually when the conscience is affected,
The connection with the soul is challenged.
How can conscience be affected?
When we cheat,
Steal,
Betray and we lie and we do things which disturbs the people or disturbs the world,
Our conscience dies.
When conscience dies,
Conscience is like a bridge between your conscious state to your soul.
Your conscious state includes your body,
Mind,
Intellect,
Ego,
Senses,
All those things.
That's part of your conscious state.
So when you abandon or forsake your conscious character by betraying others or taking things from others,
Stealing things of others and doing things negative in the world,
Then the bridge called conscience is burned and you disconnect from your soul.
That's what Vivekananda says,
Burning the bridge is not worth it.
So don't cheat,
Don't steal,
Don't betray,
Don't gossip,
Don't talk bad about anybody.
In other words,
Character assassination,
Gossips,
Betrayals,
All these things burn the bridge called conscience.
That's your connection with your own soul.
You can forsake all things in life but not the soul,
Not the truth.
Truth is permanent.
Soul exists with you all through your life,
Survives your death.
So if you forsake the permanent in you for the sake of the temporary such as body,
Mind,
Intellect,
Ego,
Senses,
Materials outside of you,
When you attach yourself to all those things and forsake your soul,
You miss the opportunity to invest in the permanent aspect of you.
I hope you understood this point.
You can forsake anything in life but not the truth.
Likewise,
Never forsake truth for anything in life.
If you remember this clearly,
That will lead you forward in a very effective and efficient way,
Rest of your life.
I leave these thoughts in your play today.
Think about it,
Ponder it and think about how many things you have done so far which have detached you from this truth factor,
From the conscience factor,
The bridge.
And if you think that you have been chasing things without ethics,
You've been chasing things for the sake of yourself selfishly,
That means you have swapped selflessness which is normalliness,
Naturalliness for the sake of selfishness,
Selfish desires,
Then it's time to change.
This is a good time to change.
Our nature is pure consciousness.
Our true nature is the soul factor.
Let the nature be natural.
Our external nature also the same.
Let the nature be natural.
Then it is effective.
Think about it.
Do not leave ethics.
Do not leave purity.
Do not leave selflessness.
Do not leave compassion and kindness.
Do not leave yourself.
You are the only truth that you need to know,
Need to understand and need to connect with.
Everything else is relative.
Wish you success.
Lots of love.
This is Mohanji for you.
