QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV
POSTED ON: SUNDAY, APRIL 7, 2024
Q: Gurudev, what is vairagya and how can I continue to live in it?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Let us take vairagya to mean contentment. Whenever you are content, that is vairagya. If you have had a full meal, and someone brings more food, you will say, "No I am full", that is vairagya. You cannot exist without vairagya. Just as you breathe in, at some point, you have to breathe out. Breathing in is raga, passion, and breathing out is vairagya, dispassion. Breathing in is passion and breathing out is dispassion, and both are essential in life.
