Mohanji Speaks

Mohanji speaks about the purpose of this podcast series. It is not about giving us answers, but to give us questions, or food for thought. A good teacher shows us where to look and not what to see. These seeds of thought enable us to create understandings that eventually transform us. 

Mohanji talks about how contentment is a measure of a successful life and how we can maintain satisfaction in life. It is important to reach a level of maturity wherein our fulfillment is not dependent on external things. It relies solely on being content. This is today's food for thought.

Mohanji speaks on the subject of resistance. We experience them everyday in our lives. They can either be a roadblock to our progress or be used as inspiration to turn our lives around if handled correctly. Knowing how much to resist and how much to accept is important. The more we resist something, the longer it stays in our lives. These ideas form today's food for thought.

Mohanji speaks on the subject of appreciation and how we can make our life fueled with a child-like wonder. Our lives are a collection of many events and until we learn to appreciate every aspect of it, we will not fully experience life. The more we give to the world, the more we get back. How much do we really appreciate our life, and the people around us? This is today's food for thought.

Mohanji offers his perspective on what makes us want to help others and why some of us fail to do it. When we are stable and content with life, the desire to be helpful happens spontaneously.  The way we handle the world is a reflection of how we handle ourselves. This leads to today's food for thought - why do we fail to help others? And what makes us compare and compete with others?

Mohanji answers the question - "Everybody has 24hrs in the day but you seem to have 48hrs, how is that possible?". We can all make the most of our time by simply planning our days well. Having a clear purpose and the clarity about what to do can make 24hrs seem like 48hrs. These ideas form today's food for thought.

Mohanji speaks about the intellectual and emotional attributes in people and reminds us that there is an inherent saintly quality in every person regardless of their predominant attribute. Every sinner has a future and every saint has a past. These simple truths form today's food for thought.

 

In this inaugural episode, Mohanji introduces the ‘Mohanji Speaks’ podcast and offers his perspective on the problems that can arise due to the expectations we have from other people. This leads to today's food for thought - who is responsible if our expectations are not met?
