Hello friends,
Today the question that came to me was about deterioration and degeneracy.
How does that happen to human beings?
It's not a very straightforward answer but I can tell you various causes for degeneracy.
Before that,
Let me tell you that there is no shortcut to hard work.
To build ourselves,
We need to have conscious awareness at all times.
When we become unconscious,
Most of our waking times we can fall into a degenerated state.
But at the same time,
When we are conscious about our actions,
Thoughts and expressions,
When we are conscious about our eating,
When we are conscious about our surrounding,
If your mind is present,
Degeneracy or deterioration can be controlled effectively.
I have to tell you this in the beginning so that you know the crux of it,
How to prevent deterioration.
Being conscious every moment is very important and you got to work hard for it.
Means alert awareness all times.
And the more time you remain unconscious,
Living habitual patterns unconsciously,
The more deterioration can happen to you.
Those who do not have a proper purpose or goal in life have more deterioration or degeneracy.
Means less energy is connected to less purpose and they deteriorate faster.
So one of the ways you can come out of it is to have a clear purpose in life,
Clear goal in life and you can pursue that and that will help you to regenerate yourself,
Rejuvenate yourself.
Sincerity in thought process happens when we talk more about people.
We can see that in this world today,
In the society.
So much of criticism,
So much of judgment,
Comparisons.
We talk about people a lot.
We like or dislike somebody and we keep talking about what we dislike.
All these causes deterioration in our thought process.
So the more you think about people in a negative way,
Talk about people or express about people in a negative way,
You are deteriorating yourself.
Degeneracy is happening without your knowledge.
Likewise rejuvenation happens when we talk about projects.
To bring your mind up to a rejuvenated state,
We got to have a very large goal and we are talking about the possibilities of it,
Dimensions of it,
Sharing it with people and you yourself are getting more and more conviction towards achieving that goal that rejuvenates you,
Makes you healthier,
Makes you younger.
The opposite of it is talking about people and the positive side is talking about projects,
What you want to achieve in life and stuff like that.
So your concentration is more on what you could do in life,
Not what others are doing.
Avoid comparisons,
Competitions and criticisms.
Instead focus on positive development possibilities.
What helps regeneration,
Acceptance,
Appreciation,
Recognition and just love,
Compassion,
Kindness,
They all help you to regenerate yourself,
To rejuvenate yourself,
Make you positive.
While what brings you down,
What causes degeneracy or deterioration?
Jealousy,
Criticism,
Judgments,
Ridiculing somebody,
Taking revenge on somebody,
Anger and all those kind of emotions deteriorates you,
Makes you less,
Makes you contract and shrink.
Your heart shrinks when you engage into anger,
Hatred,
Jealousy,
Revenge kind of mode.
Instead you can rejuvenate yourself through appreciation,
Recognition,
Acceptance,
Kindness,
Compassion,
Selflessness,
Non-violence,
All those things help you to rejuvenate yourself.
So remember these things.
What causes degeneracy is our attitude and what causes regeneration is our attitude.
So both degeneracy and rejuvenation is depending on your attitude towards life.
If you have a positive attitude towards life,
If you are focused on what you can do in this life instead of what you could have done,
That means dwelling on the past or anxious about future,
Instead today I am alive,
Today my heart is beating,
Today I have willpower and determination and whatever so that we can do something great today.
If you start thinking like that and stop talking about people,
People are all karmic beings,
There are good and bad in everybody,
There is high and low,
Nobody is perfect,
I know very well I am not perfect.
With that understanding don't waste your time on trying to perfect yourself or portray a perfect image to the world outside,
Instead let your attitude towards life speak for itself.
Let your positivity speak for itself.
That's the right way to express into this world because end of the day your life is your message.
What you speak,
What you think has no value if you don't execute it.
Every day when you wake up in the morning you should decide that you will express your highest potential in this world today so that you are positioning yourself with purpose and also with the right attitude.
And always remember what rejuvenates you,
What will regenerate you is your attitude of positivity,
Acceptance,
Understanding,
Recognition,
Patience has lot of value,
All these things will help you to regenerate,
To keep you youthful,
Keep you vibrant even if you are old in age it doesn't matter.
If your attitude is youthful,
If your attitude is positive it will help you to be young,
You can always stay young.
But at the same time even if you are young if your attitude is that of negativity such as anger,
Hatred,
Jealousy,
Comparisons,
Criticisms,
Competitions then you will feel very old and also you will feel that in this world you have nothing much to do.
That's because the attitude is making that difference.
All you need is a positive attitude.
Be proactive not reactive.
That's very important to remember.
Always be proactive and be youthful.
When you are proactive you are youthful,
When you are reactive you are degenerating.
Many people are just reactive.
Understand that's what's causing them all the ailments or all the blockages in life.
Being reactive continuously brings blockages into your life.
Being proactive opens doors for you to express yourself.
Remember this proactiveness and reactiveness.
Decide where you stand and start making a difference in your own life.
Wish you all the best.
This is Mohanji for you.
