*Moving Past Unpleasant Events* Pleasant connections don't last too long, but unpleasant connections create a scar on the mind and last longer. Now, what is the place of wisdom in all this? Wisdom makes your mind non-sticky. Have you seen non-stick frying pans, in which you can make pancakes? When those non-stick pans were not available, people still made pancakes.  The pancakes would get stuck to the pan, and they would have to struggle each time to get them out. The cleaners had more work to do, to make it ready for the next use. So, events are like pancakes that stick to the pan. Now, just imagine, if you don't clean the pan (referring to the mind), and you continue making more pancakes day after day on the same pan and consuming it.  My Goodness, how unhygienic. For years, you are using the same pan. One side of the pan is all burnt because of the stuck pancakes, and it smells because you have not cleaned your pan.  Yet you continue making pancakes (causing pain to yo...

5th January 1996, Weggis, Switzerland *New Year’s Celebration* New Year's was a grand celebration like everyday and everyone was unusually crazy like everyday. Guruji was fantastically charming like everyday. And a basket full of chocolates was on the couch like everyday. They were in shape of bees today.  And they started flying from the Guru's hand. Joy is dissolving, losing your identity. Rest is dissolving losing your identity. Love is dissolving, losing your identity. Relax and just be. That doesn't mean be lazy. No. Be very busy and just be.  The events come and go, they perish like flowers. But every event and every person contains some honey. Like a bee, just take the honey out of every event and every moment and move on. Be like a busy bee and be in the Being. Question - What is the nectar of life? Gurudev Sri Sri - The infinity and the divinity. How do you like it?   *Hindi Translation* ५ जनवरी १९९६, वेग्गिंस, स्विट्ज़रलैंड  *नव वर्ष का उत्सव* नव-वर्ष भी था ...

Question - Gurudev, you just said that we should not consider anyone as bad. If others treat us badly, how do we react to that? Gurudev Sri Sri - If others have a negative opinion about you, it is their problem, not yours. From your side, do not consider anyone as bad. By doing this, your mind will be clear and pleasant and your intellect will be sharp. Otherwise, the people whom you consider as bad will begin to haunt your mind like a ghost. When such thoughts get into your mind, you will not be able to do something creative.
