Happy New Year.

I wish all of you a great,

Fulfilling New Year.

In fact,

There is no New Year.

New Year is just a milestone.

It's just days.

We are here for about 30,

000 days and we are using the year as a milestone to tell we have covered so much distance.

But I would still count days.

Days are better to remember and days are important to remember because each day lost is lost.

Each hour lost is lost because time is the money of life.

When we remember time is the money of life,

Every hour matters,

Every moment matters,

Everything matters.

We can't get back time.

That's lost.

So,

Even though we wish the New Year,

I would like to bring to your awareness again and again that every day lost is a precious day lost.

We have to live.

We should live fully,

We should live completely and we should fulfill ourselves with the things that we want to do on earth,

Wanted to do on earth and we should complete and fulfill as many things as possible while we are here on earth.

We shouldn't come back.

We are here already and we are fine the way we are.

We have brought enough currency that is time when we took birth and that's sufficient to complete and fulfill our karmic plan.

We may not know it while we exist because each day reveals new things.

It brings to your table new stuff and that's exactly what you have ordered.

But we wouldn't know because we do not know what we ordered before we came.

While time brings you those stuff at its time all through your life till your death.

This is something we should remember,

Acceptance,

Very important,

Remember.

I have never complicated my teachings or my suggestions.

I have always maintained self-connection is the most important connection in your lifetime and how do you reach there through self-acceptance and accepting whatever time brings you because you ordered them at some point in time.

Nothing is coming by surprise.

We may feel they are here just by surprise but no.

Every situation,

Every feeling,

Every emotion,

Every notion,

All those things are brought or ordered for karmically,

Means we have collected them and we have asked for them in this life because we could not complete them in that life.

So self-acceptance is very important and accepting life as it unfolds is also equally important.

That will give you self-awareness,

Awareness of who you are,

Basically your energy and matter together.

You'll start feeling that energy in matter more and that will give you much more fulfillment.

Oh,

I am the energy that's walking,

Talking through this body and that awareness is the all-awareness because all the things around you have the same thing,

Energy,

Matter and this is what we are and this is what all things are and we will start to love everything.

They're all walking,

Talking energy bodies like us and we would start feeling them,

Seeing them.

We will start seeing the glory of their expressions,

The love in everything,

The love aspect.

We will not have a problem to share because they are just like us.

We are not separate from anything except in mind.

So this year should begin with full awareness that we are energy and matter combined and when energy leaves the matter,

We call it death.

So go to the world to show you are love and to prove your love to the world.

Do not go to the world with the garbage that you have picked up such as anger,

Hatred,

Jealousy,

Revenge.

All those things diminish you,

Makes you less,

Reduces you considerably.

So go to the world to prove your love and go back home to honor love.

Who do you go back to?

Your loved ones,

The ones whom you care and they care for you.

Honor them,

Respect them,

Respect and honor all the people who loves you because they are the treasure which you have acquired in a lifetime.

We may not love everybody,

Everybody may not love us.

That's okay because frequency has to match for love to happen in some occasions.

But we can choose to love everybody and ignore those who do not love us.

That helps us to maintain a healthy mental state,

State of mind.

I belong to the world and that's how I have positioned myself for the world and I hardly ask anything from the world.

I don't ask too many things from the world.

So I'm never experiencing deficiencies.

When you need a lot of things from the world,

You start experiencing deficiency and that makes you compromised,

That makes you vulnerable.

So my suggestion to you is to ask less from the world and give more to the world.

Your time,

Your efforts,

Your skills,

Share it and feel rich.

I belong to the world.

I have many homes in the world but I belong nowhere.

I don't belong to any place.

That keeps me free.

That keeps me unbound.

We can have a place to sleep,

We can have people to love,

We can have anything but you can be free as well internally,

Mentally.

And please remember,

Life happens inside us,

It reflects outside us.

So when you are focused on the world outside only,

You'll fail to see the life that unfolds within us,

The experiences that unfold within us and what happens within us.

So spend some time with yourself compulsorily.

This is very important.

The time that you spend with yourself will be the best time in your life.

Not with other people.

People come and go.

People may stay with you,

They may not stay with you,

They may love you,

Hate you.

That drama will continue but you have to stay with yourself.

You have to love yourself because you are your best friend and your worst critic.

So think about this and connect to yourself far,

Far better through acceptance.

I am like this.

This is my creation.

This is my constitution,

My character.

This is my time and my space and I have a particular life here and that has to be respected.

Don't worry whether others respect you but you must respect yourself.

Make your work your home and you have work everywhere.

Work is worship.

That should be the practice.

Practice spirituality in life as you live through your kindness,

Through your compassion,

Through your recognition of yourself and the others,

Through understanding how the energy functions through many bodies.

That's spiritual practice.

So work is worship and work is my home.

When your work becomes your home,

You will be spontaneous.

You are working all the time and you will work to make the world a better place and that's a great service.

You are using your time on earth to make the earth a better place.

That is a beautiful thing to do.

Don't ask too much from the earth.

Earth has already given you a life and a platform to walk and food to eat,

Place to sleep.

Earth has given a lot to you.

Now what you give to earth is what matters and that's not depending on other people or time or situation.

It depends on you,

Your attitude.

So it's very important,

Very,

Very important to reinvent your attitude to an effective existence,

To make your existence effective and thus attain a lot of fulfillment while you're working to nurture happiness within and outside.

Express kindness,

Express compassion,

Leave compassion,

Leave kindness and try to create or try to recreate the humankind as kind humans.

That would be a great legacy to leave behind.

I live for that.

My main purpose on earth is to bring humankind to kind humans without expecting anything back from them.

So you remain free and you keep others free and that's real freedom.

When you need nothing from earth,

Nothing from anybody,

You're really free and that's a beautiful feeling.

Let's nurture kindness in humankind.

Opportunistic people,

Selfish people,

Greedy people,

They all exist in the world but they do not have longevity because nobody remembers them.

They come and they go and they try to gather things from earth and they leave everything behind and they die.

But those who express kindness,

Those who leave themselves to earth,

Give themselves to earth,

Their time to earth,

They will be remembered,

They have more longevity.

So it's worth a try,

It's worth a try.

So go to the world as a human being displaying humanity.

The best expression of a human being is humanity,

Kindness,

Care,

Compassion,

Selflessness,

Righteousness,

They all make us real humans and that's something which is very important to give.

Selfishness,

Greed,

Anger,

Hatred,

Jealousy,

They all are weaknesses.

They make us vulnerable,

They make us suffer because of guilt and regrets.

So lead a life of a human being with dignity and pride by sharing humanity and nurturing kindness in humankind.

There's a very short life.

In the short life of about 30,

000 days on earth,

You deserve happiness,

You deserve love,

You deserve everything beautiful.

Life should be beautiful,

Life should be enjoyable and life should be filled with love.

We can make it,

We can indeed make it.

If we shed our selfishness,

Greed and keep asking what is in it for me,

I would say there is nothing in it for us except the experience.

That's the only earning you have and your expression is marked as your presence on earth.

That's your only expense on earth and what you collect are your memories,

What you share is what you have,

What you collect you leave behind and you die.

So remember this is not complicated.

This year we should remember these things and it's very important to remember at this juncture,

In this space and this time.

My friends,

We have very little time on earth.

As I said before,

About 30,

000 days,

That's all we have and in the short life,

It's important to live with contentment.

It's important to have fulfillment.

Otherwise,

We'll ask for a rebirth.

We have to come back and live again.

That's pretty meaningless and please remember the world does not have a very deep memory.

Usually,

The world recognizes a birth and the world recognizes a death.

World does not recognize a life.

Mostly,

Your birth and your death are remembered while your life is not remembered or acknowledged.

So how do we make our life remembered?

Through your work,

Through how you are,

Your attitude,

Your disposition,

Your love and your ability to transform the world around you with your brightness,

With your brightness and with your actions for the sake of the world.

So what is the most important thing now?

So what has to be remembered now?

When you get up in the morning,

Remember you are alive.

You are not your activity.

You are not what you have.

You are not what you project.

You are a living spiritual being,

A being of energy walking this earth at this point in time.

So live your life completely.

While you live,

Let others live too.

Live and let live.

This is very important.

All lives matter just like our life.

All lives matter.

There is no caste,

Creed,

Country,

Culture,

Color,

Language,

Religion,

Which is higher or lower.

They are all relevant in any space and any time because we are sharing this earth at some point in time.

Live and let live.

Because all lives matter,

Live sensitively.

Live with compassion and kindness.

Accept everybody.

Do not reject anybody.

All the people,

All the beings,

Everything on earth is trying to survive.

They are trying to make a life here on earth.

So have compassion,

Have love.

Because all these people have their own struggles and they all care for survival just like you.

So we must understand that all are somewhat like us.

They are not separate or different.

Some people might have achieved something.

Some people may not have achieved something.

Some people love you.

Some people hate you.

We love somebody.

We hate somebody.

This is the drama of existence.

But remember,

Nobody stays forever.

By the time we realize we are alive,

It's time to die.

In about 30,

000 days,

We are gone.

So while we are here,

Learn to love,

Learn to give love,

Be loved,

And expect less from the world so that you'll have a peaceful existence.

Be happy with what is given to you because you deserved it.

You deserved it.

Whatever you deserve will come to you,

Have come to you.

Be happy,

Be contented,

And be thankful,

Be grateful.

Be grateful for all the love you get from the world.

Also be grateful for all the hatred and other emotions that you get from the world because they keep you on check.

They keep you grounded.

When people criticize you,

You become grounded.

Don't hate them.

Take their criticism and see if it's worthwhile.

Take their criticism and assess whether it's worthwhile.

And if it's not worthwhile,

Leave it and lead your life as you are.

Do not harm or hurt anybody because they leave regret and guilt inside you.

Please remember,

Your inside world is your real world.

Experiences start and end there.

Outside world are only triggers.

So,

You have to take care of your inside world very,

Very judiciously,

Carefully because that world is you.

Outside world is not yours.

Nothing outside is ours.

So,

We are using the materials from the world outside,

Things from the world outside,

Spaces from the world outside for the sake of our experiences.

And we are creating those experiences inside us.

Take care of that space carefully with a lot of love,

With a lot of care so that you have great experiences,

Great memories and great life.

There is nothing to fear.

Fear is an illusion which insecurity creates and insecurity is coming out of instinct of survival.

Instinct for survival create insecurities and fear.

We believe in our fears and we die too soon in our existence.

Cowards die many times before their death while the brave dies but once.

Remember this proverb.

Let's not be cowards.

Cowards die many times.

They have so many fears,

Insecurities but there is no room for them.

There is no room for fears.

Fears are illusions.

Look into the eyes of the fears.

When fears happen,

Look straight into their eyes.

They will vanish.

They will disappear.

So,

Fears have no room but love has a lot of room because love heals,

Love expands,

Love makes you real and love makes you relevant.

We all have relevance in life.

All beings have relevance,

Space and relevance but what makes you more relevant is the love you share.

As great human beings,

We must always take time to help the helpless,

The people who deserve support,

Who are weak.

Stand by them.

Never leave the hands of people who have nobody.

Stand by them and give them support.

That's our integrity.

That's what we are.

So,

This year onwards,

If you have not done this before,

Make sure you will never leave the hands of the helpless and keep the harmful away from the society.

You should raise voice to quarantine the harmful from the society.

We all should.

There are harmful elements in the society.

If we keep quiet,

Watching them doing their unrighteous acts,

We are party to it,

Indirectly.

We must not do that.

Raise the voice against the unethical things of life while you support the righteous,

The helpless,

The weak.

Support them as best as you can within your capacity but stand against criminal minds,

Unethical activities and all the things which make the society a worse place.

We must stand together to keep it always clean and healthy.

Always support righteousness.

Always support harmony.

Make the world a better place.

It should be a collective effort.

We all have to work together for it.

And what for?

For us to have a good existence and for the next generations to have a way of life.

We must do this.

Keep your conscience healthy at all times.

Keep your conscience healthy always because conscience is the armor of our mind.

The stronger the conscience,

We are stronger as an individual and we must be strong individuals to help the society.

We have to.

And there is no gender differences here.

There is no difference of any kinds.

Nobody is better or worse.

Nobody is higher or lower.

So let us be strong and stable and effective through self-acceptance and that will help the society.

You will have a life well-lived.

Once again,

I repeat the simple truths of existence.

Self-connection is the most important connection that can be achieved through self-acceptance,

Accepting you unconditionally.

And that will help you to raise your self-awareness,

What you are made up of.

These simple things you should remember and practice in life at all times.

And you can choose to react or respond.

That's up to you.

When you react emotionally,

The usual results are regrets and guilt.

When you respond intellectually,

You will have harmony and peace.

Create harmony and peace always.

And that's your prerogative and that could be a good purpose,

Which will help you and the world around you.

Now,

As you all know,

I'm meeting the world every Sunday for two hours,

Since months now.

I will continue to meet all of you every Sunday for two hours.

And the timing,

I think most of you know,

It is between 5 p.

M.

To 7 p.

M.

Indian time.

So that means we'll meet about 48 Sundays next year,

2026,

And close to 100 hours in next year.

Let's not miss this chance.

Let's talk.

Let's share.

Let's discuss.

And let's move as a family towards the future.

When we keep reminding ourselves what is life and what is life about,

What are we here for,

All those things can help us as reminders to lead the life to the right direction.

It may work as a GPS or a navigator.

So we will meet again every Sunday.

We will continue to meet.

But meanwhile,

I would like to tell you that even though this is a new year,

It's a milestone in our life,

We still don't have a lot of time.

If we leave 80 years,

It's 80 Christmas,

80 New Year,

80 Diwali,

80 Onam.

That's all.

We don't have a lot of time,

And there is no extension to it.

We will leave at the time when we are supposed to leave.

So we must make use of this time very well.

It should be taken care of properly.

We will talk more every week further than this.

This is just a reminder of various things.

And I'm sure you have various aims and goals in the New Year.

If you have discipline,

You can achieve it.

And discipline is very important,

Along with determination.

If you have good determination and good discipline,

There's nothing you cannot achieve in this life.

I wish you great strength,

Happiness,

And I'm always with you.

I'm walking with you.

I have been walking with you.

I will continue to walk with you.

If you choose to walk with me,

We are together.

I wish you great health and also great purpose in life.

May you shine bright as beacons of light unto this world for bringing forth kindness and compassion and righteousness into the hearts of people.

Let's melt the eyes of the hearts of people and make them see the presence of love in the world.

There is love in the world,

But because our hearts are filled with ice,

Frozen,

We may not see it.

Let it melt and let us have clarity,

Vision,

To see love all around us.

And we will be love,

Not that we will choose to love.

Because when you are love,

Just like the sun,

Sun doesn't choose to give you light or heat.

It is light and heat.

Its nature is light and heat.

Just like that,

Your nature should be love.

So you only give love.

There's nothing else you can give.

All the other emotions are aberrations.

They don't exist.

They are all illusions.

Love is the only reality.

When you give love unconditionally,

You get love unconditionally.

What you give,

You get.

What you sow,

You reap.

I wish you great happiness in life and I wish you a very happy new year.

This is Mohanji for you.

Thank you.
