Chapter 11 - Complete Happiness Day 57  Each one is responsible for raising his own level of consciousness. Each person is responsible for either becoming happier or sadder. To the extent that one is centered and firmly established in the self, that much he will find happiness in positive situations.  You yourselves have to uplift your consciousness. What do you say? "I leave it up to God. If he wishes, if it is necessary, he will call me." But you do not say this when you go shopping for clothes or for jewelry.  For the work that you enjoy doing, you invest your full efforts and work day and night. But if you are called to do some charitable work or sadhana, you say, "If God wants, it will happen."  You put in your full effort when it comes to worldly matters, attaining righteousness, money and desire. And if it does not suit you, then you will not bother about righteousness either.  If there is a desire to do something, then you will spend all your...

*Chapter 1 - Introduction* *Day 4* Now the real peace starts. There may be external peace, you may be in a quiet and peaceful state, but if your mind is boiling with hatred, there is no peace. The external peace means nothing. That is why internal peace has to be there. Unless you get a spiritual path to walk on, the Soul is restless. The Spirit is restless. Ambitions burn inside you when there is no inner peace in the spirit, in the soul.  When that confidence is there that, I am in the right train and the train is going to take me to my destination, there is no point in running from coach to coach with your luggage. You are not going to reach any faster. This sort of inner restlessness kills one. That's why he said, "Peace," Om Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi. You have boarded the plane, you are on the path, now relax.  Take your seat, keep your luggage and now relax. There is no need to run inside the flight. You are not going to reach any faster. For many seekers...

If you get what you want, there is a reason. If you don't get what you want, there is a reason. Nature is intelligent. The divine is intelligent. - Gurudev Sri Sri ..

जब तुम्हें आत्मज्ञान प्राप्त होता है, तो यह अनुभूति होती है कि तुम्हारा जन्म और कर्म दोनों दिव्य हैं।  एक भी अपशब्द तुम्हारे मुख से नहीं निकलता | किसी के प्रति कोई दुर्भावना नहीं होती।  ऐसा हो ही नहीं सकता क्योंकि सभी अपने लगते हैं ।यह प्रेम की पराकाष्ठा है । - गुरुदेव श्री श्री || When you attain Self-knowledge, you feel that both your birth and your deeds are divine. Not a single abusive word comes out of your mouth. There is no ill-will towards anyone. It’s impossible because everyone seems to be your own. This is the culmination of love.  - Gurudev Sri Sri ..

To purify your intellect, you need knowledge;  to purify your heart, you need love;  to purify your karma, you need seva;  All three should go together. - Gurudev Sri Sri ..

The purpose of religion is to unite people and unite towards God . Horizontal unity towards people and vertical unity to the universal spirit, to god . If any one of these aims are not achieved then we have failed religion; religion has not failed us. - Gurudev Sri Sri ..

Q : Mahalaya Amavasya, what is the significance of this day Gurudev ? Guruji Sri Sri : The amavasya, that is the new moon, is a day when you show your gratitude to the ancestors; all those who lived before us, who are responsible for our being here on the earth.        So this entire fortnight, fifteen days, we remember those who have crossed over to the other side, who once upon a time lived on this planet. Everyone has to move on and those who have moved on, they also have power to bless us, so we seek their blessings.        These are the fifteen days of remembering them, showing them our gratitude and asking for their blessings. Because they have contributed in some way for your being on the planet. Right? Yes. Because of them only you are existing today.

You cannot exercise sensitivity; either it is there, or it is not there.           Because sensitivity is beyond thoughts. It is on the level of a feeling. You cannot create sensitivity in you.         When you are free from stress and when you are content, then you are automatically sensitive. - Gurudev Sri Sri ..

When you live on this planet, people will give you compliments and people will give you derogatory remarks – they will create politics.               How can you be afraid of politics when you are on this planet? Never complain about people playing politics – that is what they have been doing and will continue to do.            Lord Krishna never complained to anyone about the politics played by the families. He didn’t say, “Don’t play politics, I will not come to you.” No! He was right there! Even during the time of Jesus and Buddha, there was politics. - Gurudev Sri Sri ..

Question - Gurudev how do we free ourselves from the pain we have received till now and what to do so that we do not receive the pain in the future? Gurudev Sri Sri - Yoga and meditation is the only way. Here everything is painful. Even an overdose of anything pleasant becomes painful. Wanting something pleasant causes pain. After having gotten what you want, then also there is pain because there is a fear of losing it. And when it is gone, the memory of it gives pain. Something unpleasant anyways gives pain right away. But the pleasant also gives pain because wanting or craving for something pleasant, is painful. This is what happens many times. Someone wants to get into a ministerial post. Before getting into it, there is so much pain to get into the post. Once they get into the post, then maintaining it is painful. And then when they leave the post, then also there is pain, because no one respects them. But when you feel completely unattached to it, that is when the pain...
