People who love peace do not want to fight and those who fight do not have peace.         What is needed is to be peaceful within and then fight.Just trying to end a conflict only prolongs it.          God has been putting up with all conflicts throughout the ages and if God can, you can too. The moment you agree to be with a conflict, it no longer appears as a conflict to you.  - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

In our body, the throat chakra is for gratefulness. Above the throat chakra is the ajna chakra, the seat of the Guru. So gratefulness is the way to reach the Guru Tattva.          And then where does the Guru lead you to? Bliss (pointing to the top of the head), i.e, the Sahasrara Chakra. So, Guru is sandwiched between gratefulness and bliss.           This Guru Principle is that which removes darkness, it is that which removes all suffering.            We chant, 'Bhishaje bhava roginam', which means, it is like the medicine for those who are stuck in small little worldly things; the disease of small mindedness. It is called a disease because the mind wants to get out of the suffering.          Guru Tattva brings that absolute comfort. - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

We want to see everything perfect in others but we forget to look at ourselves. We do not reflect on ourselves.         Reflect on yourself but  then don't get too entangled into the analysis.          Do not overdo it. You have some good qualities and some not so good qualities, it is okay. Just keep moving ahead.         Some things are fine, some are not and it does not matter. You should simply keep moving forward. - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

If someone is getting annoyed, just say, ‘Hey! Wave function! The frequency has changed.’        If someone is happy, they have a different frequency. If there is jealousy, ‘Oh, they have changed to third frequency.’ If someone is upset or depressed, ‘frequency has changed again.’         Would anyone be upset about the changing frequencies ? No. So see everybody as nothing but frequencies. Then nothing will touch you. Enjoy the variety, enjoy the diversity and don’t lose your smile.  - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

Lord Krishna (further) says, “It is alright to go about your life as you like, but in the last moments of life, you should remember me and establish your mind and intellect totally in me.           There is no doubt that when you remember me with devotion, you will surely unite with me”.            But the truth is that whatever we do throughout our lives is what we actually remember in the last moments of our life as well. In those dying moments too, the same things disturb the mind.         That is why Lord Krishna, after having given so much knowledge, also says, “In your final moments, remember me”. - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji  [Gita ch.8 commentary]
