Q: Many times my intention is not wrong but my action is wrong. Will I accumulate any bad karma for that? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: If intention is right then don’t worry about it. Though action does have its repercussions, but it is not much when the intention is right
You should not put on a defense in front of the guru, you should be open. A guru is never judgmental, he is very accommodating, compassionate and only wants the best for you. Not even the second best, only the best! - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Q: Could you give me reason why faith gets shaken during difficult times in life? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Faith remains in you. Faith is in the center core, and doubt is only on the circumference. They sometimes come like clouds and obscure you, but they really cannot destroy the faith.
Q: Every major decision has many uncertainties. How do we develop the ability to make the right decision that works for the present and also for the future? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Intuition, Intuition and Intuition. And how do we awaken our intuition? It happens through meditation. I think I said this in my last tweet before this session.
Q: I am 21 years old, how can I stop my drug addiction? I want to stop drugs. I don’t like to take drugs but I can’t control. Every time I think I won’t take drugs I end up taking them. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: There is no point in giving advice to someone who cannot implement it. Best thing is to go the de-addiction centers. Stay some time there. And there are de-addiction centers which teach Sudarshan Kriya and meditation and help people come out of it very fast. This has helped hundreds and thousands. So do that. Sudarshan Kriya will definitely help you.
Q: How would you define full maturity in a human being? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: A smile that does not wither away, a confidence that doesn’t get shaken, a compassion that never dies down and a youthfulness of spirit which is alive all the time would define it for me.
Q: What do I do that everyone likes me? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Don’t try to make everyone like you. It is enough for that One to like you. How far will you go to make everyone happy? No. You make your own Self happy, satisfied. Make God happy. You just have to make that One happy.
Q: Even though everyone genetically different, I see your face in all. What do I do? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: It’s ok. If I come in you too then it will be great!
