If you have done something that is unethical, it robs
you of your smile, of your sleep and also takes away other comforts from you.
In fact, if you look at it, it is very costly doing business unethically. You
spend a lot but gain very little. It is not good economics.

SELF
Self is not just the mind-body complex. Often people
think of the Self as the mind-body complex. This is an erroneous notion.
Neither the body nor the mind is the Self. All the yoga you do is for the body.
All the meditation you do is for the mind.
Whether calm or disturbed, your mind remains mind.
Whether sick or well, your body remains body.
Self is all-encompassing.
Service without attitude
Love without reason
Knowledge without intellect
Life beyond time and events
Is what you are.
The only purpose for this body to exist is to make you
aware of how beautiful you are, and to make you aware that it is possible to
live all the values you cherish and create a world of divinity around you.

Q: What do you think about Donald Trump?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
I know Americans are very intelligent people. I will
let them decide what they want. I shouldn't be imposing or influencing them
directly or indirectly about my opinion. There are very different people on
this planet with different mindsets and ideas, and you never know what works,
when and where.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

When someone hurts you or mistreats you, they do it
out of stress and ignorance. They are hurt somewhere deep within and so they
hurt you. Why are you hurting yourself because of the wounds they carry within?
You need to see things from a broader perspective.

The Washing Machine
Our body is like a washing machine, our mind is like
cloth, each lifetime is one run or cycle, and Knowledge is detergent. The mind
comes into the body to get cleansed and pure. But instead of detergent, if you
use dirt, then you have dirty clothes.
Pure water is like love, Knowledge is like detergent,
mind is like cloth, and the body like the washing machine. If you put in mud
instead of detergent, your clothes become dirtier than before.
You will have to go on putting clothes in the washing
machine to get them cleaned. And the process repeats again and again. Similarly
you will have many more births until you stop repeating the mistakes that you
have made.

Q: Gurudev, why do people resist change?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
People resist change because they are afraid that they
would lose something precious, or the change could bring about a disaster for
them. But if you communicate to them that the change would make them better,
they would definitely take it. Nobody dislikes climbing up the ladder. People
do want something positive, more happiness or whatever. What we need to do is
to communicate better with them, speak in their language, and explain that the
change will make things better. It will take some time, it cannot happen
overnight, it takes some persuasion but it does happen.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
