| Where there is thirst, water will also be made available Posted: 08 Oct 2009 11:05 AM PDT Q: Guruji any particular message you want to give us, anything at all? Sri Sri: Have a vision. Move with confidence. I am with you. Move with that vision in Audience: Yes It is our duty to share and spread the happiness that we have got. Q: Guruji, I did the course a few days ago, my experience was awesome. I am from Sri Sri: Yes sure. You work there. Q: Guruji, Do I have your blessings on me? Sri Sri: You have a lot of blessings. I shower blessings in abundance. Q: Guruji I love you. Sri Sri: You have no choice.I haven’t left you with an option. Q: Guruji, please take us along with you. I need to have a long conversation with Sri Sri: Where to take you along. I am everywhere. I keep on coming and going. You are studying at present. Do your studies properly, ok. Q: Guruji I love you, and please be with me all the time. Sri Sri: Sure Q: Guruji, when are you coming to my home? I want to cook Rice pudding (Kheer) for Sri Sri: If you have to make a wish then make a great wish. This is just a small wish. If many people wish to do the same then I would have to change my name to Ganesh. So make a wish that everyone stops the use of alcohol and drugs, and takes interest in meditation. More and more people start to walk on the spiritual path and start to live in knowledge. Drop your small wishes and start blessing people with the wish that their work is done. This knowledge has such power that you can do anything in the world. All of us have that capacity. You start using your Q: Could you please tell us something about ego and surrender. Sri Sri: Ego is something that restricts your blossoming. Ego is you not having enough Audience: Fool Q:Guruji is there any special message for us? Sri Sri: Special message is that that you are very special. All of you. When I say you, it is not for any one person but for us. All of you are very special. Q: Can a husband fast for a good wife on Karva Choth (Indian Festival) Sri Sri: When you keep a fast your whole body is cleansed. When toxins are removed from the body your mind gets sharpened. Then whatever wish, whatever goal you have in mind gets fulfilled. This is a faith, a law and it also has a scientific base. But along with fasting you need to strengthen the determination in mind. So on that day you have only one thought in the mind, that good happens for your spouse. In ancient days people used to fast with this wish only. It’s all the power of mind. That’s it. But if your mind is somewhere else and you don’t eat then it won’t have that much benefit. Yes but the machinery (body) gets a little Q: What is sattva and what is it’s contribution in our lives? Sri Sri: Sattva means that which brings harmony, that which makes you happy, that which makes you enthusiastic, that which brings knowledge in you. This is all sattva. Rajas makes you go too much up and too much down. Either you get too excited and you feel I can’t even handle this excitement or it is so down. This is rajas. Tamas is when you feel so lazy and so negative that you don’t want anything. You dislike everybody. That is tamogun. So When you feel tamogun get up and start working, then rajogun Q: How do we rise above our senses? Sri Sri: You were sitting in meditation now? Your eyes were closed? Did u have any wish except to listen to my voice? That means in a way ears were also closed. Mouth was also closed? You were not speaking anything? So all senses were shunned, and then only you were able to meditate. Meditation happened, yes?. When you sleep for 6-8 hours, you remain in your senses or in non-sense. Are you getting it? So rest. Be satisfied in the mind. Be happy. And when you are in that state of Divine love, nothing will bother. See, during exam time lust doesn’t bother you. When does it disturb you? When you have nothing to do, when you are sitting Q: This is for the youth of Yes+. What seva/service can be given to the youth of Yes+ ? We tell them to organise courses and bring more people into the knowledge. Is this enough or can something else can be done? Sri Sri: You know you can do these things. Speed it up, and mainly introduce people to do more meditation, and courses. Q: How to make the most important decisions in life, decisions that change our entire life? Sri Sri: So far what are all the decisions you have made. Are you happy with all these Q: I don’t easily get things in life? Recently, my case was going on and it got dismissed? Sri Sri: Listen, you have made this notion in mind that you don’t get things easily in life. Who has said this? First remove this label from your mind ok? Whatever you want you Q: I did the Basic course 4 days ago. Somehow I have gathered courage to ask this question. I haven’t ever heard you before. But this moment I am getting some vibrations. It’s different. I don’t know if I am able to express it or not. I want to ask what is the essence, the power in you? Sri Sri: I have no idea. Q: How do we free ourselves from bad karmas of previous births? Sri Sri: Sri Sri sings “Paap kya punya kya to bhulade, kal kal kal ki chinta mitade” Forget what is bad karma, what is good Karma, be free from the worries of tomorrow. There is (Service,Dance & Celebration and spiritual practices) will help. Q: I have been listening to your talks and reading your knowledge sheets. Now I want to reach that level where I am able to live that knowledge, to be sensitive like you, being able to listen to the pain of plants also. I too want to reach that level. Sri Sri: Ok, where there is thirst, water will also be made available. And if you have any conflicts in mind, don’t worry. Aren’t conflicts reducing in mind. This will continue to happen. Increase the level of Sattva in you & Conflicts won’t remain with you with time. Q: I am not able to sustain any work I do. What should I do? Sri Sri: Whatever work you do you’re not able to sustain it for too long. You don’t need to sustain it for too long. Do you sustain it for sometime at least? Sometime? Good. Then slowly increase that sustainability little longer, little longer, little longer. Q: Sometimes I am confused whether it’s my mind or whether it’s my true self. How do I clarify which is which? Sri Sri: You know doubts always come when something is positive. Do you know about it? How many of you don’t know? Raise your hands. You know if someone tells you ‘I love you very much’. You say ‘Really’? But if someone tells you ‘I hate you’, you never say ‘really’, - correct? And similarly you doubt your capabilities; you never doubt your weaknesses. If someone asks you are you happy you say oh I’m not too sure. But you’re so sure about your depression. Correct? So that’s why our doubt is always about something that is positive. We doubt in the honesty of someone, we never doubt in the dishonesty of someone. Q: What do you mean by atheist? Sri Sri: Atheist? You know it is very difficult to be an atheist. Because an atheist says ‘I don’t believe in anything’. If he really says I don’t believe in anything then he should not even believe in the words that he is saying. I say I should not believe in anything except myself. That’s what he should say. And ask him do you really believe in everything that you say? Then that means you are stagnant. You are not progressing. Because when you progress in your life everything changes. So it is extremely difficult to be an atheist. If you have to be an Q: Guruji in your weekly knowledge you have said never to have an ambition. Will you please comment on that? Sri Sri: I haven’t said like that. Be ambitious but don’t be over ambitious. (From the Office of H.H. Sri Sri |
