QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV

Q: If I am suffering from inside, can I still stay
happy and keep a smile on my face?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
You know life is like a 'Thali'(plate) in which you
have something sweet, something salty, something pungent -- all different
tastes are present. Like this, in your life you have little sadness (maybe you
have lost something, or lost money), yes that pinches but if you just hold on
to that pinch only, hold on to that pain only, then life cannot go on. Unless
you are so well soaked in wisdom, in spirituality, you will continue to have
some little grievances here and there, and if you stop smiling because of that,
you will find the world to be a very depressing place. You should keep smiling,
having a strong hope that whatever pain and suffering that you have inside will
vanish, anyway it doesn't matter. One should have the wisdom to bear discomfort
and move forward with a smile.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
