QNA WITH SRI SRI
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2015
Q: What is better, doing one’s daily spiritual practices, or doing smarana (remembering God), or just observing the thoughts as they come and go?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You shouldn’t split it like that. What we do when we sit for meditation is we keep thinking about work. And when we are working, we want to go and rest. When you’re working give your 100%, and when you sit for meditation, just relax and retire. When you work, don’t worry about what is happening in your mind.
When your meditation matures it transforms into a state where a depth of silence and peace continues to exist even in activity. It is not a practice, it is a by-product.
