KNOWLEDGE SHEET BY SRI SRI RAVISHANKAR

The Arrow of Faith
It is only through merit that you can have faith. When you lack faith, happiness is neither in the inner nor the outer world. Happiness springs forth from faith. Happiness is forgetting the body consciousness. Pain or sorrow is holding on to the body consciousness. Whenever you are happy, you don't feel the body and when you are miserable, you have aches and pains.
Question: Then why in meditation is the attention taken to various parts of the body?
Sri Sri: For an arrow to go forward, you have to pull it back. In the same way when you take the attention to the various parts of the body, it frees you from body consciousness.
