Dearest Gurudev, I once read about a devotee who asked his guru to take away some of his negative qualities like anger and lust because they were obstacles on his path. Guru asked him to chant mantras and one day the devotee became the closest devotee to his guru. I have been asking people in Art of Living how to get close to you? They say I already am in one sense. I want to be your closest devotee like Trotakacharya was to Adi Shankara.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Yes, yes, yes, you are close. Keep working, do something to spread the knowledge yes! Bring this joy to more peoples’ lives in whatever manner, but keep working.
