FIVE SECRETS
There are five secrets which are sacred and are
guarded by the subtle beings and angels in this creation. They are:
Usually in the West, a secret is shameful and
dishonest. But in the East, it is honored and regarded as sacred.

Q: Gurudev, what is vairagya and how can I continue to
live in it?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Let us take vairagya to mean contentment. Whenever you
are content, that is vairagya. If you have had a full meal, and someone brings
more food, you will say, "No I am full", that is vairagya. You cannot
exist without vairagya. Just as you breathe in, at some point, you have to
breathe out. Breathing in is raga, passion, and breathing out is vairagya,
dispassion. Breathing in is passion and breathing out is dispassion, and both
are essential in life.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The fall that raises
You only see the fall of the water. You don’t see how
the Ocean becomes the Cloud. The ocean becoming the cloud is a secret, but the
cloud becoming the ocean is obvious.
In the world only a few can notice your inner growth
and height, but your outer expressions are apparent.
Never brood that people don’t understand you. They can
only see your expression!

Q: You have mentioned that the education is essential
in order to combat terrorism. Could you please shed light on how we can educate
someone who doesn't feel the need of being educated?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Skill. This is where your skilfulness comes into play.
How skilfully you can manoeuvre the situation.
Education is not just the technical education. When
people say that education is the antidote to terrorism, I don't agree with them
because when you see, the biggest terrorists on this planet are all highly
educated. One of them was an engineer, the other was a doctor and even today
all the terrorists that are caught are not illiterates. They are technically
educated and qualified in modern standards. But what they lack is spiritual
education. Here we need to be very specific. It is the spiritual education,
which broadens the mind, enhances one's ability to honour and respect everybody
and everyone's religion. Spiritual education gives one a very compassionate
heart. That type of spiritual education is needed, and not just education.

When business associates itself with corporate social

How To Deal With Humiliation?
Know that humiliation does not weaken you -- it
strengthens you.
When you have a sense of belongingness, you don't feel
humiliated. The more egotistic you are, the more humiliation you feel. When you
are childlike and have a greater sense of kinship then you don't feel
humiliated.
When you are committed to truth and not to your ego
then you also don't feel humiliated.
If you are afraid of humiliation, you can neither make
progress in your material life nor in your spiritual life. When you stand above
humiliation, you get closer to the Self - to God. When you are steeped in love,
with the Existence, with the Divine, nothing whatsoever can humiliate you.
So, the way out of humiliation is:
Get humiliated!
Be childlike
Be crazy
Get steeped in love with the Divine
Total commitment to Truth-Knowledge
