Guru Punch of the day

There are two things: one is, trying to get rid of darkness, here your attention is on darkness. But if you turn towards light and say you would like to light more lights, then darkness automatically goes away. This is what we need to do. Take a positive attitude. +Sri Sri Ravi Shankar 

@SriSri It is not people who hurt you. It is your own mind & vulnerability and your own emotions that entangle you & make you feel hurt.

@SriSri In less wisdom we see others' mistake as big and own as small. In little more wisdom we see others' mistake as small and own as big. Those with true wisdom see mistakes as neither mine nor others. It is just a happening.

Knowledge Sutra for the day!

Be happy; devoid of sorrow.

QnA with Sri Sri

Q: Why are we here? When all this is not reality, why are we made to come back again and again to live our lives?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: First, (we are here) to ask this question, and second, to find an answer to it! Many live their whole life without even asking the question, ‘Why am I here?’
Wake up, ask this question, and pursue to get an answer. Do not be in a hurry for the answer. The answer falls into your lap at the right time, so keep asking.
No books will answer this question, because this is the question of ‘life’. Your life itself is an answer. Every day, if you ask, ‘Why am I here?’ then all the unnecessary things fall off, and the right things come up.
However, before asking the question (why am I here), ask, ‘What can I do for this world, before I exit? Anyway, I am here!’ This may be a better question to soothe you in those moments when you feel nothing is enjoyable, or everything is meaningless.
When you feel sad, depressed, suicidal or unhappy, at that moment you should say, ‘Let me stop thinking about myself. Let me see what I can do here. Anyway, one day I must go. Before I go, let me do something good here. Where am I needed? Who needs me? Where can I help out?’ These questions can bring some intermittent relief in between. So do some service (seva). When you do some seva, you make others happy, that vibration of bringing comfort to others souls will bring you merit that will help you realize who you really are.
