God is a thorough businessman

 

The Divine has given you all the small pleasures in the world, but has kept the bliss to Himself. To get the highest bliss you have to go to Him and Him alone.

 

Don't be too smart with the Divine and try to fool Him. Most of your prayers and rituals are just attempts to trick the Divine. You try to give the least and get the maximum out of the Divine and He knows. He's an astute businessman; He will trick you even more. If you go underneath the carpet, He will go underneath the floor.

 

Be sincere in your attempts. Do not try to outsmart the Divine. Once you get the bliss, then everything else is joyful. Without the bliss, joy in anything in the world will not stay.

Q: Gurudev, I am in love with someone. How can I make out whether it is love or infatuation?

 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

 

You fall in love and you want me to tell you whether it is true love or not! You would need to decipher this yourself. Only the person who is eating would know the taste of the food. How can someone else advise on that?

Q: Why am I here?

 

Sri Sri: No books will answer this question, because this is the question of 'life'. Your life itself is the answer. Every day, ask yourself, "Why am I here?" Then all the unnecessary things fall off, and the right things come up.

 

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Faces of infinity

 

You have many faces. Only you don't face them. When you come face to face with your faces then conflicts, confusion and chaos arise in you.

 

From time to time in different phases, different faces appear. As you come close to your Being, all the faces melt and leave you as the Space that you are.

 

At the gross level, you identify yourself as somebody. At a subtle level, you identify yourself as some energy or an incarnation of some angel, saint or prophet.

 

When you go beyond even this identity, you are whole, holy, Brahman - Purna Brahman Narayana.

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 skillfulness comes into play. How skillfully 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.

There is nothing that love cannot transform. Accommodate people and see, they will be transformed.

Don't make a mistake by pointing out mistakes!

 

Do not tell a person a mistake he knows. What's the use of pointing out a mistake that he knows he has committed? By doing this, you will only make them feel more guilty, defensive or resentful and this will only create more distance. You should only point out the mistake of a person who does not know, but who wants to know. Do not point out the mistake of a person who knows but doesn't want you to know. Often people know the mistakes that they have committed, but they do not want you to tell them. Think of the usefulness of your comments. Before pointing out the mistake of a person, see whether your comments in any way will help to improve the situation, foster love or bring harmony. A magnanimous person would not pick on the mistakes of others and make them feel guilty. However, they would correct them with compassion and care, not through words but through attitudes.
