QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV

POSTED ON: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 2017

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Youth is bored and it’s their fortune. If they were satisfied then growth would have stopped. When they are bored then the quest comes in them. They are not satisfied with the things available around. And this is the stage when they can take a step to look within, a leap in their inner journey, a step towards spirituality. An interest in higher growth gets kindled when you are bored with things around. When you find source of joy within, then obviously everything around is also reflecting the same source of joy, then you find interest in everything. Continuous bombardment of senses by stimuli can cause inertia. Inertia is boredom, is a form of boredom. Again when prana level goes up, you move from inertia to enthusiasm.<

WISDOM QUOTE OF SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR

POSTED ON: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 2017

In a relationship, when one gets upset the other should keep quiet. Take turns to be upset. If both get upset at the same time, it becomes a big problem. And if you compete by saying, 'You got upset, now I will get more upset than you', then it becomes an even bigger problem.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

KNOWLEDGE SHEET BY SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR

Posted: 03 Apr 2012

The Five aspects of the Universe

You have five aspects to yourself: Asti (is-ness); Bhaati (Knowledge, expression); Preeti (love); Nama (name); and Rupa (form).

Matter has two aspects: name and form.

Consciousness has three aspects: "is-ness" - that it is; knowingness/expression - it knows and expresses; and love - it is loving.

This is the secret of the whole universe.

Maya is not being aware of the three aspects of consciousness. Ignorance is when one is caught up in the name and form.

Question: Why are we imperfect?

Sri Sri: So that we can grow to perfection. Life is a movement from imperfection to perfection. A seed contains the tree but the seed has to cease to be a seed to become a tree. The seed is not perfect. The sapling is not perfect. It has to cease to be a sapling to become a tree. So in life you can either see imperfection at every step, or you can see a movement from one perfection to another perfection.

Wherever you put your attention then that will grow. If you put your attention on the lack of something, the lack will increase.
