MS 27 - We Are The World
Mohanji speaks about the world. We are the world because we design how the world should be. As human beings, the qualities we can give to this world are harmony, humanity, and non-violence. ''How can we invest ourselves totally and with full conviction so that we may deliver to the world?'' This is today's 'food for thought'.

Hello my friends,
Welcome to another episode of Mohanji Speaks.
Hope you have enjoyed the previous episodes and hope you have discussed that with your friends and probably some clarity would have happened inside.
That was the intention.
Now here we talk about a new thought.
This is the thought that many of us have asked to ourselves.
What is this world?
Who are we?
What am I?
All these things.
The point that we would like to discuss here today is we are the world.
The world is us.
I'll explain.
There are numerous expressions on earth.
All the human beings,
All the species,
The nature,
The plants,
The trees,
The animals,
The birds,
The water,
The air,
The sun,
The moon and all the things that we see around are expressions.
That's all put together is the variety of life.
So we are also an integral part of that.
We as human beings,
As a species and we as an individual,
We are all an integral part of this whole existence.
This is what we are talking about today.
Who is the world?
What is the world?
We are the world.
We all have a role to play and this role to play must be with full awareness or this role to play must be understood with full awareness.
If we don't understand this role clearly,
We are almost operating in an unconscious mode.
I think many of us agree with that.
We wake up in the morning,
We don't know what to do.
We do so many things mostly in an unconscious way and we do so many things just because we like to do it or we are habitually doing it.
It's habitual.
Not that we really wanted to do that thing.
We are habituated to have a coffee in the morning or a tea in the morning.
We're habituated to have breakfast.
It's all habits.
I mean,
Whole life if you take mostly we are run by habits,
That means subconscious.
So how much is the conscious mind at work?
Very little because we are often not even aware of our activity.
We are doing that in unconscious mode because we are used to it.
Habits means unconscious more or less.
We are almost mechanically doing it.
Multitasking is almost like unconscious because when you are thorough with something and you don't have to really focus on it,
You can multitask.
But when you really have to focus on each action,
You can't.
You can only do one thing at a time.
So that's the real work.
That's the real thing and a cluster of these activities put together is what we call life.
When we look at the whole world,
When we understand the world,
When we feel the world,
We must also remember we are the world and our contribution is very important and many people live and die.
We don't even know them.
There are 7.
5 billion people,
Many many faces,
Many countries,
Many people,
Many types of people,
But they're all the same.
We don't even see them.
Most of the people we don't recognize,
We don't see them.
But very few people we recognize in the world and these people whom we recognize,
Whom we can call successful people or people who are known or whatever,
They have invested on themselves or invested on cleansing themselves or cleaning themselves to remove the clutter and they have focused on an activity which is close to their heart and they've invested on the activity.
When you invest on an activity,
You should believe in it.
Otherwise,
It doesn't work.
When you are sure about an activity,
It can be a profession,
It can be an idea,
It can be a concept.
Whatever you are believing in,
Invest yourself totally.
In 2003,
When the newspaper people asked me,
What's your investment in Amuk here,
I said myself,
There's only one thing you can really really invest yourself and if you invest yourself totally with conviction,
There's no way failure can happen because the nature helps you.
Nature loves people who have conviction.
Most of us do not have conviction in our action.
If we have no conviction in the action,
Actions become so weak that they do not give the required result.
So in order to be successful in life,
In order to express yourself in the world,
In order for you to become the world to people,
You got to invest yourself.
There's no other way.
Investing yourself is the best investment but then you should believe in what you do.
Otherwise,
It will be,
It will all go away.
You should believe what you do and invest yourself totally and then you can see that you are actually progressing.
Otherwise,
We are procrastinating.
Most of us do not go forward or we have disappointments because we have not invested ourselves in it.
Have we put ourselves fully in our action?
Have we really put ourselves in our action,
In our thoughts,
In our expressions?
If yes,
Others is just around the corner,
For sure.
Don't worry about planetary positions.
Don't worry about the likes and dislikes of the people around you.
People may call you crazy.
People may call you mad.
People may agree with you,
Disagree with you.
Doesn't matter.
If you are sure about the activity that you're doing,
If you have firm conviction over your action then nobody can stop you.
You become a powerhouse.
So that's the real expression that makes you the world for a lot of people.
So,
I'm leaving this thought on your plate.
What is the world?
We are the world.
We decide how the world should be.
Let us decide that the world should be harmonious.
The world should have one religion,
Humanity.
The best religion for the whole world of human beings is humanity.
And that humanity also means all encompassing kindness,
Compassion,
Unconditional love and selflessness towards all the beings of earth.
All beings are same on earth.
For the nature,
For mother earth,
There are no differences between beings.
They are all using certain faculties of mother earth for their own gratifications like we do.
So,
We have no right to control,
Capture,
Manipulate,
Destroy anybody,
Any species.
Period.
So,
We must understand that all the species on earth are interdependent and not for human sake.
That's a very,
Very wrong thought that all this world is for us one species.
Absolutely not.
It's for every species.
We are all the same in the eyes of the nature.
So,
Harmony,
Humanity,
Non-violence,
These are the qualities which we would like to deliver into this world as perfect human beings,
As quality human beings,
As powerful human beings.
And that's why we talk about getting up early in the morning like the Ayurveda says,
Between 9 pm and 12 midnight,
Body repairs itself.
So,
That means we must sleep at that time.
The body needs sleep to repair itself.
Between 9 pm to 12 is the right time to sleep for the sake of the body.
Body repairs itself.
Between 3 am to 6 am is the time when the mind repairs itself.
So,
This is what's the time when you should get up and you should feed the mind with good thoughts.
When we do that in that manner,
Then we will see that the earth is also better because we are healthy,
We are balanced and we give that balance to the earth,
To the mother nature.
So,
I leave you these thoughts.
Think it over.
Discuss about it.
Share it with your friends and let's come out with something beautiful.
Let's nurture it.
Let's perfect it.
I'm always with you and I love you.
This is Mohanji.
