QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV

Q: Why should nature destroy small innocent children?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Nature just does its job. It does not discriminate between young and old. Do you think that all those who eat bamboo shoots and eggs or pluck flower buds are not compassionate? Instead of questioning Nature, wake up and see the opportunity for seva (service). What happened in Gujarat at the time of Earthquake? Hundreds and thousands engaged in service activities that would not have happened otherwise. One positive thing coming out of destruction is the reconstruction of Gujarat which would not have happened if not for earthquake. Another interesting factor is a fresh water spring that has appeared in a region that has been continuously drought prone.
Wisdom is to consider the earth as your Valentine. Whether it shakes or breaks, it is dear to you. You always see good coming from it. The four elements, other than space, create turbulence from time to time. If you depend on them for support, they will shake you and lead you back to space. Finding security in inner space is spirituality.
