Q: Guruji, I am not able to keep any commitments. How to keep commitments?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: If you have accepted that you cannot keep any commitment, then you have refused to improve. Because you are seeking pleasure and comfort. Commitment puts you on track and eventually brings pleasure. If you cannot keep commitment, that much misery you will face. Be prepared for it. If you do not want misery, you have to honor some commitments. It is not possible to honor every single commitment. That is where Lord Krishna's example is the best. He said I will not lift a weapon in war. Then in the war he saw that Bheeshma is not listening, he took his Sudarshan Chakra. Based on what is better for the greater good, he changed his commitment. If you have made a foolish commitment, when you become intelligent you should let go your foolish commitment.
