It’s all about Mindset after the requisite prep.
Just hear what Milkha Singh Ji, “The Flying Sikh”, had to say about his experience in Rome Olympics.

Mental Conditioning is as important as the Prep itself!

Thoughts work just like YouTube’s algorithm.
When we’re born, the mind is an empty slate aka tabula rasa. But over years of parental and societal conditioning, it starts to prefer certain kind of content over others.
That preference is determined by YouTube like parameters,
Click Through Rate: How likely you’re to engage with a certain thread of thought.
Eg. A thought pops up, “कल बेइज़त्ती होगयी सबके सामने” and you click on it i.e. “उसके बारे में गहन सोच करने लग गये”, the algorithm knows that it’s more engaging thus shows you more such thought threads in the future.
Average View Time: How long you engage with certain thought threads. eg. दिमाग़ में बात आयी, “कल वाले Test में अच्छे marks आए।” but then within few seconds, you disregard that performance because society wants you to be “Humble” or you have an “Imposter syndrome”(गलती से आ गए होंगे), the algorithm doesn’t promote such thought threads.
On the other hand, when you’re given a thought thread on “I’m not good enough”, you spend hours and hours on collating experiences on that thought(घंटों दुःख के समंदर में डूब जाते हैं।). The algorithm then thinks, “God this content must be great”, and pushes it more.
Overtime, we also come to “Subscribe” to permanent notions. Those notions can be discriminatory, prejudiced, self sabotaging( आत्म घाती) but doesn’t matter. As a subscriber, your Mind feed will be flooded with that content.
So what is the solution?
On YouTube, you have the luxury of a fresh start, a new ID. Here you don’t, and that’s the fun part. You have to salvage the situation as a master tactician.
As Mark Twain famously remarked, “Habits can't be flung out of the window by any man overnight, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.”. Similarly, we have to clean our Mind Feed one video at a time.
Increase CTR and watchtime on positive uplifting content. Unsubscribe from content that doesn’t add value to your life.
Easier said than done, right?
बोलना आसान हैं, करना बिलकुल नहीं।
That’s where meditation and community support comes into play.
Meditation will help you gain focus and self control to stay away from the negative content and actively engage with the positive one. And community support will be the safety net in case you sometimes fall short. जब बाक़ी लोगो के experiences सुनोगे तो पता लगेगा की सभी same नाव में सवारी कर रहे हैं, जिससे अपने प्रति compassion बढ़ेगा।
Mara’s voice will try to pull you back into engaging with the useless videos, but I know, the little Buddha inside inside of you will help you resist the temptation.
Hopefully you’ll try it and get back to us with results.

Parshuram’s Curse to Karna should be a lesson in avoiding IP Infringement:
It has come to our notice that some subversive elements are:
-Pestering enrolled Sherlockers to ‘share’ the course!
If you violate the IP, you’re playing a lose lose for all:
-You devoid me of my due from my hardwork of 6+ yrs and let down my trust.
-You won’t receive the personalised doubt resolution and mindset conditioning sessions.
-Anyway the IP won’t help you courtesy Parshuram’s Curse to Karna.
I’m sure you’ll understand the dynamics of the situation and be reasonable to me and to your future!

As Prelims draws closer, a lot of you would be naturally anxious.
Here is a small reminder if that is the case -

Take a small break, watch the 26 seconds long short, feel better and get back into the grind!

Great session. Didn’t expect it to be 2 hrs long, and was fun nonetheless.
Kindly share the minutes to @helpdeskupsc!

Here's another Sherlocking Success Story for the community.
Attached are the testimonial from Ricky after clearing the exam with Rank 230, his response right on Prelims result day and A small snippet of Ricky's Journey.
The entire community feels privileged to have him as a member here.
Should give all of us enough motivation to also realise our own dreams.

Sharing unannotated snippets from the lecture PDF for Environment (Prelims 2023).
As you can see, besides content, the main focus remains on mental conditioning to help solve questions that otherwise seem 'random' and 'undoable'.
A lot of content is now being covered in the form of mind maps for faster revision.
The hope is that the snippet will help understand the process of 'Sherlocking' better.

😢 Nervous about CSAT? 😪
Watch how AIR 230 (Ricky Lohkar Pradhan) got through this hurdle using the techniques/principles taught in the Sherlocking CSAT Module -
https://youtube.com/shorts/ZljOWT_d0UQ
Can find his detailed testimonial including the message he had posted on the very day of Prelims results at - https://t.me/Neil_You/1377?single
He was part of our GS + Heuristics + CSAT Prelims Module and was able to internalize and apply the principles beautifully, especially the CSAT ones.
The best part? He joined in the second half of March 2023 when around 2 months were left for Prelims and was able to internalize and use the principles within those 2 months.
Have had many students who enrolled in the very month of Prelims and were able to learn the principles within 15 days and get through the Prelims Stage.
So, believe in yourself and know that you have ENOUGH time left.
