Gurudev, often we get both happiness and grief from our closest friends and relatives. How can we rid ourselves of this grief?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Yes. You should love your friends and relatives but do not demand anything from them, or get attached to them. You should serve them in whatever way possible. When you set out with a sincere intention to serve then you will never face any misery or sorrow. But if you act towards others with an intention to gain something from them, then you will have to face sorrow and pain.
