QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV
POSTED ON: SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2026
Gurudev, can wisdom happen instantly? Is it the same
with enlightenment?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Yes, it can be gradual also! The other day, someone
was telling me, "Gurudev, suddenly, I realized that I am happy all the
time now, which I never was before!" A sudden realization comes that
gradually you have become more and more happy. One day you find yourself
saying, "I am so happy, so centered; nothing can shake me, nothing can
take my smile away!" And then you are there! Sometimes, there is a flash
of lightning, and suddenly you see things, and then it disappears. Sometimes it
is like when the sun rises, dawn comes first, then gradually darkness
disappears, and day dawns very gradually, and that stays! So both phenomena are
there. For some, it can come as an electrical transformation, for others it
could be a gradual change. Sometimes you don't even notice it, but one day, you
say, "Wow! Aho!" Just like what is said in Ashtavakra, "Aho!
Yes, I got it.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
