My yoga teacher told me that, things that happen to you always reflect your inner state. My question is, can you transmit the same philosophy to the level of a group? Things that are happening to certain countries would reflect what’s inside of them?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Yes, we reflect the society and society reflects what we are. In a broader sense, yes. But when the tension is building up, the group fear begins there. Mob psychology is very much comparable to an individual reflection of what people are feeling. I am sure that could be addressed through right education.
