Dear Gurudev, I don’t speak out my problems to you knowing that you already know what is going on in my mind. I read a book where you said that a devotee must speak out his or her mind to the master without any hesitation regardless of how trivial the matter might be. Does this mean that I should be more vocal than I am at the moment or do silent prayers have effect?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: As long as the things are happening and you don’t feel like verbalizing it, its fine. There is no need that you must say it out, but many times when you say it out, you feel lighter from the inside. That is why I say speak out. You don’t need to hesitate.
