The Five Signs Of Satguru

 

In the presence of Satguru

 

Knowledge flourishes

Sorrow diminishes

Without any reason, joy wells up

Lack diminishes; abundance dawns

All talents manifest

 

To the degree you feel connected to the Guru, these qualities manifest in your life. Sit with your eyes closed, feel the connection with the Guru, and start making your own knowledge sheet. Next week's knowledge sheet will be written and spoken by those whose name starts with the letter "A" and this will continue in alphabetical order. So,

Make a knowledge sheet

 

Take a commitment for a seva project.

The more you give, the more strength will be given to you.

Q: Gurudev, is there an intelligent life outside the planet earth?

 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

 

You can’t say no, there isn’t. To say no, you have to explore everything. If you can’t say no, it means yes.

 

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Many people just walk past the security guard without even acknowledging their greetings. This we should not do. Talk to your employees, to your watchmen, to your drivers; create a humane relationship with them.

Commitment and Convenience

 

A commitment can only be felt when it oversteps convenience. That which is convenient, you do not call commitment. If you just go on your convenience, your commitment falls apart causing more inconvenience! If you keep dropping your commitment because it is inconvenient, can you be comfortable? Often, what is convenient does not bring comfort, but gives an illusion of comfort. Also if you are too stuck in commitment, and it is too inconvenient too often, you will be unable to fulfill your commitment and it will only generate frustration. Wisdom is to strike a balance between convenience and commitment because both bring comfort to the body, mind and spirit.

 

A seeker of knowledge should forget about convenience, so should soldiers, rulers, students, seekers of wealth and all essential service providers. Those who want to be creative and adventurous transcend convenience. Those who are ambitious and have a passion for a goal do not care for convenience. To the wise their commitment is their comfort. Whenever their commitment is shaken, their comfort is also shaken. To the lazy, commitment is torture though it is the best remedy. Commitment will always bring comfort in the long run.

 

Question: Are there any commitments that can be given up?

 

Answer: Yes.

 

Sometimes when you are committed without a vision, you feel stifled when your vision expands. Such commitments made with shortsightedness can be given up. A smaller less important commitment can be given up for a greater commitment. Commitment to the means can be given up for the sake of the commitment to the goals. When your commitment brings misery to many in the long run it can be given up.

Q: Gurudev, what would be your advice to leaders in the world who have good intentions but flawed actions?

 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

 

If the intentions are correct but actions are flawed, they must have come under compulsion from someone else. You always act on your intention. If you are unable to act on your intention, it means you are under some pressure from some corner.

 

And yes, small steps and small actions that you take will help. When your intentions are good, you keep moving in that direction. I usually say intention and attention brings manifestation.

Creativity

 

Creativity brings a new beginning for "time". When you are creative, you break the monotony of time. Everything becomes fresh and alive. Creativity brings along with it a new round of enthusiasm. Both creative and procreative impulses in nature are associated with enthusiasm. When you are enthusiastic you are closer to the creative principle of existence.

 

Deep silence is the mother of creativity. No creativity can come out of one who is too busy, worried, over-ambitious or lethargic. Balanced activity, rest and yoga can kindle skills and creativity in you.
