Fear of being a nobody: The Zero state of being a nobody is something I haven’t fully processed before. One remembers reading about the enlightened Masters who walked about clueless, whether they were wearing clothes or not or if they had even eaten! This zero state is hectic to contemplate! Is it even a human state? Do I want to walk around without clothes, not knowing if I have eaten or not?
One feels a shiver of apprehension about that, and then I think, I want to be in the body with clothes and everywhere at the same time! Imagine that. To become a Master just like my beloved Mohanji. Again, I catch my very phrasing and self-correct… not to become, as Mohanji says, we are already that. So it is to reach through the veils of forgetfulness and remember who I am! An earth-shaking revelation, causing me to open my ‘tin can’ mind even further. I am. I am …
Even I, who walks around this Earth presently befuddled and highly embarrassed by the very thought of walking around without the clothes of Maya! A ‘vainglorious’ fool enthralled by illusory clothes. Mohanji wrote a blog a few years ago: ‘Be Naked.’ Maybe this is what he meant. Aaah, so it was not about superficial layers of covering my body…but my silly ass mind! It was a gentle, loving redirect to my Consciousness. My eternal, unchanging state. Right … not about clothes.
Naked and pure as the day I came into the world. I remember being apprehensive about processing that expansion of thought at that time. Come to think of it, my attachment to the illusion was stronger then. At the time, I was still a fan of make-believe. Lost to being a lover instead of being love. The true nature of the soul. Yes indeed, from then to now, something shifted dramatically with his Grace!
A shift from being one-dimensional to multi-dimensional? Hold on there. How can one even say that? Just where am I now? Just how far have I shifted… clothes and all? Hahahaha, this is really funny and utterly absurd to contemplate yet thoroughly profound. Humbling. Laughter stops. I am feeling a deeper level of introspection. More expansion. Exactly where am I now? Exactly what speed am I travelling at with Mohanji?
Wait a minute. No! Tick tock. Seconds are going by quickly in this time-bound world, yet I slowed down fast and am actually contemplating a zero-infinity energy type state. That I am all that I perceive and more … I am the body and more … that I can leave my physicality and be everything at once at the same time. Stop. I need to breathe again. Or maybe not.
I remember, at the beginning, that during a Mai-Tri session, my breath stopped. I was stunned that I did not take a breath for the longest time. My body was not reacting, yet I stopped breathing! Minutes go by. I asked Mohanji, do I not need to breathe? Was that, in fact, a gentle and loving nudge about who I am? Does the eternal soul need breath or does my body? When breath leaves the body, it dies, yet I continued to exist. Wow.
That was an early lesson that I am Atma, or the soul. Eternal. Unshakable. I am … Exactly who is Mohanji? Is he the Master of Masters who is all and Everything at once? This Master, who turned into almost blinding bright white luminescent radiant light at my first meeting! … By learning from him … I am becoming that which I am? All and everything at once. When I look at a photograph of Mohanji, he looks like a normal human being. Yet … I was fooled! He is omniscient. Omnipresent. Here and everywhere at the same time. Deeply humbling.
My beloved Master of Masters has merged into all that is (the state of Shiva), and I finally understand that Shiva is not a person but a state. He is holding my hand every step of the way to my completion! I’m taking baby steps, but I’m walking … step by step to my truth. That I am Mohanji. Mohanji is me. There is no separation. Never was. Beyond humbling, beyond grateful at the speed at which you are taking me to myself, beloved Parabrahma Swaroop. I am verily the dust beneath your lotus feet.
This is my story about the subtle forms of greed. Sometimes, greed is not about money or possessions. It can be more subtle.
Greed Separates, Contentment Unites
Message: Greed creates competition, comparison, and isolation. Contentment creates harmony and inclusion.
I’m in awe! Everything we learn from the time we are born is wrong. We are in reverse!
As innocent kids, we are pitted against each other, whether in sports or academics. The ones most able to follow the protocols become the highest achievers who earn more and live a great quality of life. I guess that made me a yes, ma’am, yes sir kinda gal. This is how quickly our innocence fades. This is the greasy system of reattunement that churns out misfits like me who excel in the noise of the external world. Too busy to look inside. Like a well-tuned cog in the wheel of the false matrix. Like a whacky but diligently trained ‘cheerleader’ of Mahamaya, I’ve achieved really ‘big’ on the greed part.
Frankly, when I look back, I am appalled. So that conditioning also made me a competitor who preferred comparing and isolating myself. Not for a minute did I think that specialising in any skill would inevitably set me apart, it turns out – in more ways than one.
At the very least, perhaps the only redeemable quality will be the comparison part, which was weak. Frankly, even then, I couldn’t care what others think about me. I am strong-willed and strong-minded. And to think I used to think that was a cool sign of my independence! That sucked.
Now, let me think about what constitutes contentment. Nah, I am always driven – never content. All this conditioning changed when I met Mohanji. For the first time, I looked within!
Kapow! Nothing has been the same since. All my nuances are now flavoured by compassion. By choosing to stay in the light, I have made huge changes in my life. Contentment led to harmony and inclusion of like-minded people. This has kept me sane. Thank you, Baba, for giving me a global family that accepts my quirks and idiosyncrasies. Thank you for giving me a safe place to be My Self. A safe space to explore my truth. It’s such an adventure to be in pursuit of my inner Satchidananda. I revel in being a Raja Yogini extraordinaire. Mere pyaare Baba, I’m holding tightly onto your hand and taking baby steps….!
Mohanji reminds us:
A content being naturally becomes compassionate.
Today, consciously appreciate someone else’s success without comparison and bless them silently.

C Jayraj – India
Every day of every week, ever since the IVM Project started over 3 months ago, has been a day of “Reflection and Realisation” for me… And I have also realised that the number of times I have been derailed from the path of Raja Yoga has been progressively reducing over the past 3 months. My humble & sincere gratitude to our dearest, beloved Mohanji, to the Guru Mandala and to all our wonderful Acharyas who are making this happen. While dissolving our pride, we must still retain our dignity.
Payal – India
I offer my heartfelt love and gratitude to Mohanji and the entire team for guiding me through my emotions. I work every day on my thoughts, expressions, and feelings, especially on cultivating humility and awareness. This practice keeps me grounded, reminding me that I am nothing and nobody, and that realisation feels as light as a feather. I am learning to surrender with faith. Baba, please keep me empty and light, and guide everything toward my highest good. Recently, at my workplace, I have experienced a shift—I feel like a mere instrument, even as my awareness has expanded. I feel more connected to my soul.
Sonia – USA
Started in September 2025… I never imagined a mere reminder of the different aspects that create patterns in our lives … life after life… could have such an outstanding result. I made a point of reading the daily posts and consciously meditating on them in the morning hours to have my muscle memory etch the essence of the posts… and I can see tremendous improvement in myself. Tiny to tiniest indications that were ignored before are coming on the surface, awareness and witnesshood are working at a different speed for me these days, and I am listening to those silent voices. I feel my body talks, and I am now listening is a very big change within me… my heartfelt gratitude to Mohanji and the IVM team for this beautiful journey.
Michelle – USA
I am grateful for this group because it has brought self-awareness to many of the more subtle issues I didn’t necessarily think were a problem, but realised that, when totalling up those little issues here and there, they have equalled a great weight on me. The contemplation prompts and journaling exercises have helped take that weight off. There is still room for improvement, but I feel the lightness taking over where I once felt heavy.
Mateja – Balkans
I have to admit that I sometimes don’t take the time to read messages, but even if I see the title and think about it, it immediately gives me stability. To see that we all fight those battles, and with every round, every week, something dissolves. I’m more than happy and grateful for this community.
Bharati – Netherlands
Every month, I’m surprised by how many inner traps I discover — and how awareness is helping me to avoid them through this movement. Just like during the month of jealousy, I initially thought, “Pride? That’s not really my issue.” But through the practices, a deeper realisation surfaced. I noticed that part of me felt slightly “better” because I had endured so much suffering due to a loved one’s condition. As if surviving that hardship somehow elevated me. Seeing this was a mindblowing revelation.
It significantly reduces my — mostly mental — reactions and softens me. I can feel how pride functions almost like armour or a harness: it tightens, restricts, and separates. Recognising it loosens something inside me, making space for love to take over.

Growth happens quietly as Awareness and Acceptance are practised with vigilance, daily. There is a lesser incidence of comparison as clarity improves. Kudos to the administrators of Inner Victory Movement for coming up with challenging questions for us to contemplate and do the “work.” Thank you.
Sharlene, USA
Ever since joining IVM, I have honestly stopped comparing myself with others. I am starting to accept others the way they are. I have accepted myself. I am looking deep within myself and asking questions. This has helped me bring more clarity and awareness, whether it is an improvement or an experience that can help me learn and move forward. Life brings all kinds of experiences. I am now looking at things in a positive way and being positive. Thank you for this wonderful program. Love and gratitude to Mohanji!
Kripa, Canada
I have not always been able to keep up with every activity, but I make an effort to read the daily quotes and contemplation questions. This is often enough to plant the seeds I need to grow in my awareness. For example, it took some time, but recently I discovered a hidden jealousy I didn’t realise was there, despite knowing the symptoms. This topic was covered weeks ago. So, despite not being able to cover all aspects of the program due to severe time constraints, I find that IVM is still having an incredible impact on my life.
The contemplation questions being asked are very profound and have been taking root in my system…and I feel it. Jai Mohanji! I am so grateful for IVM!!! It is exactly the daily dose of self-love and self-care I need to cleanse and recalibrate on my life’s journey! Thank you to all the moderators and, of course, to beloved Mohanji for this incredibly powerful program!
Payal G – India
The day I joined IVM, I realised and perceived life with a different dimension, as the true nature of the soul, and reinvented myself with inner strength, compassion, love, and rationality wherever required. I lost my mother-in-law a week back, but I was constantly trying to be calm and strong, supporting my family and diverting my grief by sharing with others, like taking care of other elderly members and feeding others. I derived all my strength from Mohan ji’s blessings and IVM lessons.
Nidhin Manikkara – India
From the beginning of the Inner Victory Movement, I felt like I was getting more aggressive — not in front of others, but within myself. I didn’t really know why. I felt maybe it was part of cleansing or challenges from the Guru. My responses to situations were mixed. At first, I mostly reacted, and later I realised I should respond instead. Nowadays, I’m more aware and try to respond rather than react, and situations are getting handled hassle-free. I’m able to express myself in a more mature way now. Thanks to Mohanji.
Anantha – India
After joining this group, I feel that accepting ourselves as we are in every situation—just like we are at home, without trying to project anything different—can remove a great burden from our minds. We should always live as our true selves, with no showing off, no acting, no projection, and no ego.
