Don'T Let Anyone Influence Your Thinking

Sometimes, when people ask for sannyas, I don't give them. I tell them, "Wait!"

It is not that they are not sincere, but even they cannot handle themselves when they fall into depression. Even they cannot handle themselves when they fall into depression. Only to those kind of people, I say, 'Wait, wait, wait!'

Understand, when you accept an enemy request from people or situations, you will land up in that kind of powerless state where even you cannot handle you! That is the worst hell, understand? Cherishing the style of thinking which empowers you, strengthens you day by day, more and more, is Liberated Thinking. Day by day, if your health is getting better, you are growing younger, you are going to live longer. If day by day, your health is deteriorating, going from bad to worse, you are not going to live longer.

Sankhya teaches you the science of Liberated Thinking, where no one can have influence over your thinking, no one can have power over your thinking, no one can have any say in the way you think, act. The complete liberation, complete spiritual liberation, you will experience when you don't cherish enmity with anyone.

Sometimes, in politics, a few political leaders spend their whole day in taking revenge on one other. So,

their real contribution to the world never happens! In vendetta politics, development gets lost. I tell you, when you accept the enemy request, you lost your power, you lost the goal of your life, you cannot enrich the world, you cannot do what you are supposed to contribute to the world. That is why I always tell people: whoever cherishes enmity towards me, I never call

them "my enemy", because I never accepted their enmity! I never reject any friend request, and I never accept any enemy request. Don't reject any friend request anywhere in the world, and I don't accept any enemy request. Don't accept any enemy request; it will distort the way you think.

Like vendetta politics takes away the growth of the nation, you will not be able to contribute where you need to contribute. You will be too busy. Your enemy will cover you up completely. You will be disconnected from reality.
