Dropping all intention even for a moment brings you in touch with your Self and in that instant meditation happens. - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji 

One of the rarest character combinations is the coexistence of confidence and humility. Often people who are confident are not humble and people with humility are not confident. Confidence blended with humility is most appreciated by everybody .- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji 

दुर्लभ चरित्र संयोजनों में से एक आत्मविश्वास और विनम्रता का सह-अस्तित्व है। अक्सर आत्मविश्वासी लोग विनम्र नहीं होते और विनम्र लोग आत्मविश्वासी नहीं होते। विनम्रता के साथ आत्मविश्वास सबसे अधिक सराहनीय है। 

When you have a desire but not the faith that you can achieve it, then you call it daydreaming.  When you do not know yourself, or your potential, you have no faith or confidence in your dreams. But once you have faith and confidence in your dreams, they are no longer daydreams! .- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji 

जब आपकी कोई इच्छा हो लेकिन यह विश्वास नहीं कि आप उसे प्राप्त कर सकते हैं, तो आप इसे दिवास्वप्न कहते हैं। जब आप खुद को या अपनी क्षमता को नहीं जानते हैं, तो आपको अपने सपनों में कोई श्रद्धा या विश्वास नहीं होता है। लेकिन एक बार जब आप अपने सपनों में श्रद्धा और विश्वास कर लेते हैं, तो वे दिवास्वप्न नहीं रह जाते हैं! 

Being forgetful of one's true nature is the root cause of all problems and suffering in life. But the very remembrance of one's nature, which is godliness, brings freedom. .- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji 

अपने वास्तविक स्वरूप को भूल जाना ही जीवन की सभी समस्याओं और दुखों का मूल कारण है। लेकिन अपने स्वभाव का स्मरण, जो कि ईश्वरत्व है, वह मुक्ति लाता है। 

What really perturbs you? Isn't it the foolishness that goes on around you? But it is foolish to be perturbed by foolishness, because when you know that truth is eternal and invincible, you accept foolishness as a joke and remain unmoved by it. .- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji 

वास्तव में आपको क्या परेशान करता है? यह मूर्खता ही है न जो आपके आसपास चलती रहती है।  लेकिन मूर्खता से परेशान होना मूर्खता है, क्योंकि जब आप जानते हैं कि सत्य शाश्वत और अजेय है, तो आप मूर्खता को मजाक के रूप में स्वीकार करते हैं और उससे अविचलित रहते हैं। 

Glory and luxury without dispassion is nauseating pomp and show. Such glory is shallow and does not bring fulfilment for anyone. Alternatively, the dispassion that is afraid of glory is weak. True dispassion is oblivious to glory. .- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

When the sun shines in your window, you can’t say, ‘Oh I have captured the sun!’. The same sun will be there in the neighbour’s window as well, and all over the world.          So the sun is here totally and there also totally. And you are just a vibration. As the body you can’t be everywhere, but as consciousness you can be in many places.          If you have touched a flower, your vibrations have gone into the flower. So the whole universe is a field of consciousness.  - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji 

Question - Gurudev, how to act passionately after being trained to be dispassionate? Gurudev @SriSriRaviShankar Ji - You cannot create passion, when you love something it simply comes to you. You cannot ask me how do I love something, there is no way, no method. Sometimes repetition might create an attachment but I wouldn’t say it is love. I have seen people who are fighting and when one person is not there anymore or has gone far away then one feels some sort of vacuum suddenly. Every day you are fighting with someone and suddenly that person is not there, what to do now? This is a sort of attachment, but passion that is something which cannot be cultivated, it just comes to you. Dispassion can be cultivated to some extent but compassion and passion cannot be cultivated. 

 *The way out of sorrow*  If your are unhappy you better check if one or all of these are lacking: Tapa (penance), Vairagya (dispassion), Sharanagati (surrender). Tapas is agreeing with the moment, total acceptance of pleasant or unpleasant situations. Vairagya means I want nothing and I am nothing. Sharanagati is "I am here for You, for Your joy." If you are grumbling then these are lacking, because when you accept the situation you cannot grumble; when you take it as Tapa you will not grumble; when you come from a state dispassion ("I don't want anything") you don't grumble; and if you are surrendered you will have no complaints. All these three (Tapas, Vairagya and surrender) purify your mind and uplift you in joy. If you don? do it willingly you will do it in desperation. First you say, "Nothing can be done." Then in anger and desperation you say, "I give up, I want nothing, I have no choice, to hell with it!" Gurudev Sri ...

*Chapter 4 - Contentment* In the earlier days, it would take many years to build a house. It would take many generations to build a temple. An example is the Brihadeeshwara temple in Tanjavur, Tamil Nadu.  It took nearly 3 generations to complete its construction around 300 years? It is so surprising that it took 300 years to build a temple. The task started by one has to be completed by somebody else. In the same way, if the father is an astrologer, the son continues as an astrologer.  If the father is a doctor, the son becomes a doctor too. The one, who continues the task started, is known as disciple, son or progeny. It is said that children should give ablutions to elders, it implies that the elders should be made contented first.  If the elders wanted to do a task and if it is incomplete, then completion of the task was giving them ablutions. Completion of the task itself is equivalent to giving them ablutions.  If you have to give ablutions to elder...
