 Somehow you have to let go of all the things you have learnt. There is a saying in South India, “Unless you forgot what you have learnt, you will not achieve liberation”. All the things you learn — music, Ayurveda, chemistry or physics, you have to forget it. Unless you forget it, there is no liberation. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

 Q: What about the threats from ISIS? 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: A thorn will always try to prick. A petal will always try to soothen. So we are in our element, they are in their element.

 Tell people, "Leave all your stress and tension, and smile more!". That is what we should do – put more smiles on the faces of people, don’t you think so? Give them confidence to move on in life. I think this is what you all can do. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Religion and Spirituality 

 Religion has its place. I am not a communist or an atheist who would say religion should be done away with. But what is the point of having a skin if there is no banana inside? If there is no substance, no human values, no compassion, no love, no sense of belongingness; holding onto the rituals and just the outer identity of religion which has become the cause of more and more conflicts in the world today, is useless. This is what I was talking about.

 Religion has a place, let it be there. Your weddings are done according to your religion. Your naming ceremony is done according to religion. Your cremation is done according to religion. But do not let religion swallow or eat up the basics of spirituality - love, compassion, a sense of belongingness and humility. These values are what we call spirituality.

 The element that is beyond the intellect is within you. Every answer has just one objective, to make you silent. Every question has just one objective, to dive within. If diving within is all that you want to achieve, then what is the purpose of asking so many questions. What will you achieve after asking all these questions and listening to all the answers? Just relax. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
