QNA WITH SRI SRI

Q: Please teach us how to deal with people who use logic for almost everything.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: What's wrong in logic, it's good. Wrong logic is troublesome. Wrong logic is, 'If a door is half open, that means its half closed. So if it is fully open, means it is fully closed'. You know, there's something we can learn from every part of the world, and this philosophy of life is what India has specialized in from centuries. It's an ancient heritage or tradition of the knowledge.

God is not sitting somewhere in the heaven, God is in every particle of the creation, that is the philosophy here. Like the dance and the dancer cannot be separated, the creator and the creation can never be separated.

The creator is in the trees, in the rivers, in the mountains, and in some way this was there in all ancient civilizations. Native people in Canada, or Native Americans or Maori tribe of New Zealand, they all have similar belief systems that says that the creation is sacred.

You know, even Africans have this. They consider mountains and rivers sacred. I mean, there is such reverence towards the creation, and so they never destroyed the creation. They never did anything that would harm nature. I think humanity will have to go back to that type of sustainable development, i.e., development that does not destroy this beautiful planet we are in, in anyway. Don't you think so?

We all should honour the creation, and honour nature.
