QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV
POSTED ON: SATURDAY, JULY 11, 2026
Q: Why does the divine answer and reward some while
prayers of others go unanswered?
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Well, I don’t know why some prayers get answered and
some are not. I have no idea. Perhaps it is good for you. Perhaps you may
change your mind about what you want. People go to shopping, this often happens
at least in India, and ask shopkeeper, “Can I come later and exchange it if I
don’t like it”. They go home and don’t like it and get it exchanged next day.
Most unreliable thing you have is your own mind because you don’t know what it
likes and when it doesn’t like that. That is why bringing mind to its source is
so important. Its centeredness is the most important thing in spiritual
evolution. Understanding what is transient and what is permanent, what brings
you permanent joy and what causes temporary convenience and long term misery,
what causes temporary discomfort and permanent joy, and what causes long term
discomfort. That is what is called viveka, sense of discretion, wisdom –
knowing this from that.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
