don’t regret the past

 

Many people, when they get this knowledge, say, “Oh, Guruji, while I’ve been waiting for this, so much time has gone by. I’ve wasted twenty year. How nice it would have been if you had come years ago.”

I say don’t regret the past. Nothing is ever a waste. All the past, all you have gone through has built the foundation, has brought the walls up. Now we are here to put on the roof, to complete it. It is not a waste.
+Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
