Q: Today you are at the pinnacle of spirituality. What message would you like to convey to our spiritual seekers who are not here with you today?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: I would say, try and gain knowledge about something and at the same time have faith as well. See, you cannot possibly know everything. And you also need to have deep faith in something. Embrace everyone you meet with love. That is my message.
See, if someone gives you something and says, “It is very sweet”, then you should first taste it yourself instead of simply believing them. If someone tells you, “It is poison, do not touch it”, then you should not say, “No, first I will taste it and then believe you” (laughter).

Three things are needed for life:

1.Purity of heart

2.Clarity of mind and

3.Sincerity in action or spontaneity in action.

Do not get stuck in just thinking, “What will happen to me?” See, there are problems in everyone’s life, but remember that they do not stay forever. They come and go. Do not let them overwhelm you. And spirituality will give you that much needed strength and stability to withstand and overcome all problems with a smile. Spirituality can give a new direction to your thoughts and to your life.
