Hello,

My dear friends.

Welcome to Mohan G.

Speaks.

Hope you're doing well and hope you're enjoying the podcast of the past.

Today,

I have a question.

And this is based on a quote from me.

And that goes like this.

Never be apologetic to anyone for being natural and being your true self,

Because you cannot be anything else authentically.

This is a quote based on an idea called on being yourself.

So the question is,

Can you please explain this?

Maybe this question may bring out ego in people,

They would say I'm like this,

You take it or leave it.

So this is true.

This quote is very true.

You cannot be apologetic for being yourself because you are unique.

You're neither high nor low,

Nor equal to anybody.

You are unique.

Having said that,

How would you work in the world?

How do you how is your disposition in the world?

What is the right method?

Humility,

Respect,

Kindness,

Compassion,

Unconditional love,

Selflessness.

So when you are operating from a plane of all these,

There is no way you can go wrong.

You do not have to be apologetic for being yourself because you're yourself and that's how the world will take you.

And that's the flavor you are adding to the world.

You can't add any other flavor because everybody else are already taken.

So your best expression is your natural expression in the world.

Your best presentation of yourself is your natural presentation of yourself without prejudices,

Without masks,

Without pretensions.

When you are in this world as yourself totally,

You are actually putting your signature on earth.

People love people for being themselves.

Not everybody will accept.

Not everybody accepts everybody.

This is for sure.

Not everybody accepts all things we do.

Some people will like it,

Some people will dislike it.

Whatever we do,

There will be opinions.

The world is full of opinions and opinions are based on individual views,

Individual ideas,

Concepts,

And theories and so many things.

World is not unbiased at all.

Society is not unbiased.

Why not unbiased?

Because society is looking at people through their own eyes,

Through their own spectacles.

In this bargain,

When the world is looking at each other through their own spectacles,

What is the best thing you can do?

The best thing you can do is to be yourself with all your authenticity.

Your authentic self means your total self.

So when you are your total self,

When you are displaying your total self,

The highest of human potential such as compassion,

Kindness,

Ahimsa,

Non-violence and respect,

Respect,

Respect for everything.

Even a cup of water,

Respect.

Everything in the earth,

Respect.

People,

Respect.

And this way if you live,

Your total authenticity will be well accepted.

So arrogance will not be accepted.

Nobody likes arrogant people.

Nobody likes egoistic people.

Nobody likes people who are difficult to handle.

You know,

They sometimes are very tough to handle because they are full of ego,

Pride,

Anger.

We don't like such people,

Right?

We stay away from them.

You know,

Such as we are always in a revenge mode.

We are against things.

We are fighting things and we do not accept things.

We are on loggerheads always.

So when this way if we are operating continuously and consistently,

The society will avoid us.

Because they are crazy people or crazy man.

This is very important to understand.

How is your disposition?

That's how people accept you.

Being rude,

Being arrogant,

Being unkind,

It doesn't carry much in this world.

But being kind,

Being compassionate,

Being loving,

Being respectful,

Being humble,

That helps.

So the disposition is very important.

Your disposition is very important.

How you are,

That's how you are in this world.

So there is no compromise here.

Good talking,

Caring and nice conversations,

Humble and respectful behavior.

All these things carry a lot of weight.

But at the same time,

I still insist never be apologetic to anyone for being natural,

Because this is your birthright to be natural.

You are natural by birth and being your true self because you cannot be anything else authentically.

That's the point here.

You are authentic.

You have to be authentic.

You are unique.

You have to be unique.

You will be unique.

You will remain unique and authentic.

With this thought,

I leave you to think it over.

Discuss if you like amongst your friends and share it as much as you can.

And try to make the world a better place.

Lots of love.

This is Mohanji.
