Q:
What is the ultimate and greatest truth of life? Is it to be happy, or to make
one’s family happy, or to serve humankind, or to reach the Divine?
Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar:
The
ultimate journey starts with one step. Just do not sit and dream about the
ultimate. Instead, begin your journey towards the ultimate.
Take
small steps towards the Truth; towards this inquiry into life – “What is the
goal of life?” This very inquiry can take you far. Everything has some
significance in life.
Just
eating alone is not the goal of life. Yet eating is essential for sustaining
life. Isn’t it? Similarly, sleeping is not the goal of life. But can you
discard sleep altogether? No, you cannot. In the same way, you have to be happy
and you also have to make others happy. This is the journey towards the
Ultimate.
What
is the ultimate Truth, or the ultimate purpose of life? I tell you, one who
really knows will not tell you, and anyone who does tell you, simply does not
know. That is the secret.

Devotion
And Organization
Organization
is control. Devotion is chaos!
Organization
needs attention to details, a material awareness. Organization is being
worldly.
Devotion
is getting lost, forgetting the world, being in ecstasy.
These
are opposite in nature. They don't go together, yet they cannot be apart or
exist without each other. No organization can arise without devotion. When
there is so much devotion, you simply want to organize. Devotion brings faith,
compassion, and responsibility. With responsibility and caring, you want to
give knowledge, wisdom, and love. Then organization happens. So organization
exists through devotion.
If
you are devoted, you won't just sit. The nature of devotion is to give. If you
think you are devoted and you are not caring for the world, then you are merely
selfish. Real devotion means being one with the Divine, and the Divine cares
for the world.
Often
you lose devotion in organizing. And often in the name of devotion you create
chaos and disregard the organization. You have to be a saint to be both in
organization and devotion. If you have both, you are on the mark. So . . .
Get
lost and be guided!

Q:
Gurudev, what brings satisfaction in life? Whatever I do finally does not bring
great joy and contentment after a while.
Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar:
The
whole idea of finding satisfaction by doing something itself is not correct.
Satisfaction comes from deep rest, by reposing deep within oneself. When you
get established within your Self, then there is contentment. The satisfaction
you think that comes by doing some work is very temporary and lasts only for a
short while.
If
your work is successful, then you feel the need to do more work. When you get
more success, then that again drives you to work more. You do not feel like
stopping after having success. On the other hand, if you face some loss or
failure in what you are doing, then also you feel, “Oh, how did it fail despite
my efforts? I won’t give up; I will try again and succeed”. You feel challenged
to do more. So you want to work more and work harder whether you get success or
failure. And in this process the search for contentment continues. You keep
searching for contentment when you are constantly engaged in work, or in
action. It is only in knowledge that you can find your true contentment.
Fulfilment or contentment lies only in wisdom, and in deep meditation; not in
any work or action as such.

In
the solitude of the self
Buddha
is not on the peak, rather the peak is beneath Buddha. One who goes to the peak
comes down, but the peak seeks the one who is stationed in the inner space.
Shiva
is called Chandrasekhara which means that mind which is in the Shiva
(transcendence) and is always above the peak.
Often
people are running after parties and celebrations, but for the one who is not
running after them, parties and celebrations follow him. If you are running
after parties, loneliness comes to you, but if you are in the solitude of the
Self, parties surround you.
