Wake Up and Slow Down!

When you are in a rush, you are unable to properly perceive things. Often you are in a rush in life. This takes away the charm, thrill and beauty from your life. You can never be close to the Truth when you are in a rush because your perception, observation and expression become distorted.

The rush to enjoy robs the joy from life. All the rush that you have in your life only denies the joy and freedom of here and now. Often one does not even know why one is in a hurry. It almost becomes a biological phenomenon to be in a rush. Wake up and become aware of the rush in you!

Anne Farrow says: Wake up and slow down! (Laughter!)

It is ridiculous to be in a rush to slow down. Just being aware of the rush itself will take care of it. Slowing down does not mean lethargy or procrastination. It is easy to be in either extreme of being in a rush or being lethargic. Feverishness arises out of lack, a need to achieve; whereas dynamism is an expression of fulfillment. The golden rule is to be awake, and being awake you cannot help but be dynamic.

QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV

POSTED ON: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2019

Q: Gurudev, is it necessary to have faith in God? Does God really exist? Have you seen God?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

God is not a thing that drops from the top and says, “Child, what do you want, I am very happy with you”. He is never going to say this! That substance, from which everything is made, is God. That in which everything is sustained, is God.

Before understanding God, ask yourself, ‘Who am I? Where was I before?’ These questions will sharpen your intellect; and be patient. If someone tries to answer your question, don't listen to their answer.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Wake up, it is your cravings which is making you unhappy. And what are these cravings? For some pleasure, or for some recognition. And what did you get in all these pleasures? Five to ten minutes of some sensations and some stimulation, other than it is NOTHING WHATSOEVER! Absolutely nothing!

QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV

POSTED ON: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2019

Q: Dear Gurudev, does it matter where we sit during the satsang; more in front or at the back?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

(Laughter) It does matter whether you sit by the window or in the middle. If you feel too cold, don’t sit by the window because you want to close the window while others want it open. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter where you sit.

Yes, one thing, if you are too shy, and have a tendency to sit at the back, then just elbow everybody and come and sit in front (laughter). If you are a backbencher, then in satsang you better come to the front. And if you are always sitting in front, holding on to your seat, nailing your backpack to the floor, then get up and sit at the back.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Success comes because of the sattva and the harmony inside you, not because of the amenities or weapons you have.
