QnA with Sri Sri

Q: If the heart wants something but my responsibilities prevent me from striving to get that, then what should I do?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You should fulfil the responsibilities in life first. You can always listen to the heart a little later and act on it. If you only listen to what your heart says, and do just that, then you will get into trouble.

Nobody is completely independent. Even nations are not completely independent. The word is interdependent. Among nations and communities we are interdependent. We live in an interdependent world. Man depends on Woman and Women have to depend on man.

So it is paradox – independence and interdependence. Try to be independent as much as you can understanding the need for interdependency.
