Q & A with guruji

Q:  What is man’s highest duty?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
If you think something is your duty, there is no love in it. Sometimes you even get headaches because you feel burdened by the duty. When you do something with love, that is the best. When you take responsibility with love, then it is not a burden to you. It becomes like a puja and that is the best. If you think that doing puja itself is a duty, then there is no benefit in doing it at all.

If a father thinks, ‘I have to get my daughter married somehow and get rid of my responsibilities’ then it becomes a burden. But if he thinks of her marriage with love, then the whole event is a celebration and there is joy for everybody. So, take responsibility with love and take responsibility for the whole world. Start with small steps. First your family, then neighbors, society, village - nobody should be sad in your village! This attitude will make your heart blossom. When the heart blossoms, there is happiness. Divinity resides in a blossomed heart. You don’t have to go anywhere and search for the Divine. His home will be in your heart.

Gurudev, you have said that meditation helps our ancestors. When we start mediating the first thing we do is we pay off a debt for our ancestors or give them something. Can you explain this a little further?

Gurudev, you have said that meditation helps our ancestors. When we start mediating the first thing we do is we pay off a debt for our ancestors or give them something. Can you explain this a little further? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:  Yes, see like your DNA, your body is connected to your parents or to your very close friends. Haven’t you experienced this? Someone very close to you has some problem and you start feeling it in your body. How many have experienced this? So, on the physical level you are connected and more subtle than that is your subtle body. You’re connected to ancestor’s, to your parents. How many of you keep getting dreams of people who have already passed, who have crossed over to other side? So, your mind and your consciousness are linked. So there is a constant energy exchange. Every time you meditate you are generating energy and that energy goes that way also. When you have cleared all these debts, that’s when you’re called a monk...

Intuition Process

*Q. How will intuition process help us in our educational institutions. If all the children become intuitive then where does the learning of subjects feature. Is this real education?* #SriSri: This intuition process is going to create a big revolution in the field of education. Children won't have to carry so many books on the back, their memory and intellect will become so sharp. In fact it will become difficult for teachers to manage them and parents to lie to them. Children are going to pose a big challenge to both parent sand teachers, they can't hide anything from them. Question paper leaking will become out of question. Once upon a time India was known as the most brilliant civilization because of this knowledge of intuition. We had the power of retention and memory, brain was faster than a super computer. These trainings were given in the gurukuls. When the foreign invaders wanted to burn some of our *books in Takshashila the local pandits asked them for 24 hours. In 24...
