Guruji, there is something wrong happening in front of us, but we are unable to do anything. What to do?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: A lot of times when something wrong happens, one cannot do anything alone, but together something can be done - as a group (sangha) it will be possible. If as a group also it is not possible, you can at least pray, 'This person is doing wrong, bless him with awareness.' Whatever we are unable to do ourselves, we should surrender in the form of a prayer, 'This is not my job, Bhagwati Maiya (Divine mother), it is yours; God, it is your responsibility; Guruji, it is your job'. Then too, it will be done. As I told, I could not have (physically) contended with that man. He was such a strong, huge, seven-foot tall, hefty man who had come to attack me. What happened? I wasn't scared. I quietly said, 'Wait!'. He dropped down and began crying. This has happened several times. I gave just one example.
