Q: How does one release a deep seeded fear of death?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

First of all, don’t think that fear is deep seeded. What is deep seeded is love and fear cannot be as deep as love, fear is only the circumference. There is an intense sensation and if you go deep into that sensation then on the other end you will come to a space where there is total relaxation and love.

Meditation is very useful to turn around all these negative emotions of fear, hatred, jealousy, etc., and you will see the other side where there is serenity, peace, confidence and compassion.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

If your partner has made a mistake, you should forgive them and give them another chance. You expect your partner to behave like an enlightened person.. This is expecting too much from your side

Ego And Self From A Different Angle

Ego is that something, which has two aspects – the positive and the negative. The creativity in you – are the results of ego. At the same time, when you break down communication, when you isolate yourself, when you’re in tears, when you’re stressed – that is also ego. We do not know about the ego, and so we don’t pay much attention to it. But just 2-3 facts, awareness of how ego works !

The self – the basis of life! You can call it the spirit, the soul, consciousness, the source of the mind – anything. It is that something, which doesn’t change in one’s whole life. After discovering about all these levels, what is left is the Self.

Everything is changing, isn’t it? Do you notice this?

Just look at yourself in the mirror and then look at your picture taken a few months or a few years ago. Isn’t there a big difference?

Your body is changing, your thoughts are changing, the mind is changing, emotions are changing, situations are changing… But still you feel there is something in me which is not changing. So that something which is the basis of all change, that something through which you notice the change is the self – the atma, the spirit. It is the most amazing aspect of our lives. Just a glimpse of it, a dip into your spirit energizes our whole system – and that is what meditation is.

Spirituality is the skill of nurturing, purifying and blossoming one’s all levels of existence.

Q: I understand that there is a tradition of fasting on certain days of the month. Why should we do these fasts and do you recommend it?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

The ancient people knew that our body being 60% water, full moon and new moon days affect our body and aggravates any chronic illness. So three days before the full moon or new moon they ask you to fast so that all the food that you have had gets flushed out and the body gets cleansed.

Fasting cleanses the body and the base of the toxins and harmful bacteria is removed.

Then on the twelfth day, the first thing one should eat is a particular type of green vegetable so that the body gets enough anti-oxidants and becomes stronger. That was a system created, but it is not necessary that you have to fast on these days.

One can only marvel at the brilliance of the traditions that our people made in the past. People would wear a sacred thread and when they have to use the toilet they would tie it around their left or the right ear. One scientist did an experiment where it was found that there are nerves behind the ear, which when squeezed, enhances bowel movements. You should marvel at the depth of knowledge the ancient people had.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

If the actions of someone who you have a lot of regard for is hurting you, then know that it is for some good reason. If a friend is hurting you, know that some karma is getting released. If the hurt is coming from an ignorant person, have compassion. These three attitudes can make your whole personality shine.
