Q: Why do you love me so much?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Keep asking this question again and again, and you will get the answer. You will then see that all your complaints and troubles disappear. I tell you, you should ask this question to everyone whenever a complaint of some sort arises in your mind. Whenever a complaint about someone’s behaviour arises in your heart, just think that they love you very much and that is why they are behaving in this way. Then you will be happy and will be able to stay steady and established in the Self. You will be able to save yourself from all the negativity.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

People of less wisdom see others' mistakes as big and their own as small. People of a little more wisdom see others' mistakes as small and their own as big. People of great wisdom see the mistake as neither their's nor the other's. They see the mistake as a happening which nobody could control.

If you are trying to get rid of darkness, your attention is on the darkness. But if you turn towards light, darkness automatically disappears. This is what you need to do: take a positive attitude.

Faith and Devotion

Faith is the subject of head. Devotion is the subject of heart. And meditation is of both and connects both.

A mature intellect is devoted. A mature heart is full of knowledge. And meditation matures your intellect as well as your heart.

Mr. John Pb: But people with good intellect seem to have less faith.

Sri Sri: They have more faith in the matter. Head puts the faith in the matter more and heart puts the faith in the abstract more.

It's next to impossible that one can be in total lack of faith or total lack of devotion. It's only a question of balance.

Q: What should we do to read and understand the Vedas?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Yes, you have come to the right place. Keep learning new things here and go on attending the different programs we have.

For example, in Tamil Nadu, they fold their hands into fists and tap their temples and forehead with the knuckles. This is a symbolic way to honour and remember Lord Ganesha. It was supposed to be done 21 times in the earlier days. This custom is called Kopakarnam in Tamil. You would also have to do sit-ups 21 times after this.

Recently, scientists performed a mapping of the human brain and found that this practice of Kopakarnam enhances the brain. May be that is why so many brilliant people seem to come from Tamil Nadu (laughter).

You can ask our Chairman of The Art of Living, he too belongs to Tamil Nadu. Even in the Parliament Secretariat in Delhi, there was a time when most of the officials there were from Tamil Nadu. Today the scenario has changed.

In the earlier days all these customs were performed every time one visited a temple.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Anyone who knows God cannot be cruel. Anybody who engages in cruelty cannot know God. It is as simple as that.

When someone is in love with somebody, they keep repeating their beloved's name. This is called jaap.
