QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV

POSTED ON: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2020

Q: Gurudev, what is the parameter to call myself a good human being? Please guide me.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

An eye that can see beyond the obvious, ears that can give a patient hearing, an intellect that is free from prejudice, an intention to help those in need, and a heart that is strong and soft.

It is easy to find people who are very emotional, and say, "Oh, I love everybody". They are compassionate but have no strength in them, they cannot endure even a simple criticism, which is no good. Then there are those who just throw their weight around; they are very harsh and hard. They feel like there is a stone inside - that is not the quality of a good human being.

A good human being has the right combination of the head and the heart, the left and right brain is balanced.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
