Q: Guruji, I have a boss who is manipulative, unethical, and very difficult to work with. I am a dedicated employee but I am not able to work with my boss, what should I do?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Again I tell you, it is all about vibes. Have you noticed, for no reason, you feel aversion towards some people, and for no reason you feel pulled towards some people. It is our vibes that speak it is our vibes that changes the minds of people. It is through vibes that thoughts and emotions change. So you be strong. Also, the tougher the boss the more skilful you can become. It brings out skills in you which you did not see before. It is very easy to be direct, but to be able to have skill and convey what you really want to convey is more appreciable. So you can develop those skills.

Silence can bring skill in communication. Every person who gets angry has some justification for their anger. They think that they are correct. Do you see what I am saying? Behind anger is the demand for justice, and intolerance for injustice. So anger is good, it is essential, but only to wake you up. After that, the anger needs to be given a direction of creativity otherwise the same anger can burn you.

It is good to have a stove at home. One should have fire in the house, but the house should not be on fire. When I was in Delhi we had around a 100,000 youths in Ramlila Maidan. I said, 'I am happy that finally all the youth of the country stood up against a crime. There is so much anger in the people of Delhi, but this anger should be channelized in a proper direction.' Do you see what I am saying? Anger is essential, one needs to stand up against injustice, but that anger needs to be directed skilfully, otherwise it will create chaos.
