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. @GurudevSriSri_Official

Question - Gurudev, What is the difference between Spirituality, Astrology and Vastu? Gurudev @SriSriRaviShankar Ji - Well, spirituality is related to the Atma (soul) and astrology is related to planets. Astrology deals with observing the movements of the planets and making calculations related to the events that are yet to happen. The science of Vastu is related to direction, to space, while astrology is related to time. But the One beyond space and time is Mahadeva (Lord Shiva). That’s why for remedying any ill-effects of Vastu or any of the astrological movement of planets, just pray to Lord Shiva. He is the Lord of all planets and He can move them to favourable positions for your benefit. @GurudevSriSri_Official

*Chapter 1 - The Mind Facing Inwards Is Always Happy* *Day 1* In order to fly a kite and guide it from the ground, we need a thin thread. While this thread stays on the ground, the kite soars in the air. That thread is a sutra.  Likewise, for our life to soar higher and expand into the vastness of infinity, what is needed? We need a sutra that acts as a link between earth and sky, between humanity and divinity. A sutra is described as that which contains the essence and expresses the full meaning in a few words. The nature of the sutra we hold on to decides the direction and the quality of our life.  In everyone's life there is some spark of goodness or auspiciousness. We should reflect whether we are holding on to the good and positive or misfortune and negativity. Regardless of which part we tend to focus on, if we search we can definitely find happiness, pleasure and fortune in some measure.  Yet, if you look now, this is not the case. Actually, there is so...
