(A member of the audience asked a question and it was not audible)
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: And you’ve already taken a step. You’ve asked this question, at least in that you are not that shy. One thing I want to tell you. Don’t think in your mind what will Guruji think about me, whether he will think this or that. Don’t try to impress me. I never get impressed by anybody’s behavior nor do I get unimpressed by anybody’s behavior because I see you one step beyond your outer behaviors. Now do you get it? You can ask some of the senior teachers they will tell you. I don’t care about how they behave what they do. But I feel connected to everybody irrespective of their behavior. But that doesn’t mean you should not be sane and civilized in your behavior. I like people sane and civilized in their behavior but I don’t mind you being you. Okay, but don’t tell this to everybody.
