Guruji, at work I have to face certain political situations where people are against me. How do I stay centered and calm at that point of time? Later when I come home and do my kriya and think of you, I get that calmness.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Suppose you had not done the course, how would you have reacted to the same situation? Just take a look.
There are two issues in life, one is life before Art of Living and the other is life after Art of Living. So gradually you will grow into that centeredness. Even though you feel a little shaky at that time, never mind, you continue your practice.
One day you will suddenly find that you are happy come what may. Nothing is taking your happiness.
That type of awareness will come one day.
