QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV
POSTED ON: TUESDAY, JULY 14, 2026
Q: 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
