So many innocent people have died in the past, and so many keep dying even today because of these terrorist attacks. I can't bear to see all of this.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Terrorists are a big problem in the world. That is why the Bhagavad Gita is so relevant even today.
The Bhagavad Gita never says that if you get a slap, show the other cheek and just accept it, no! If someone is slapping you, you take out your bow and arrow and shoot them right away, but not with vengeance or hatred, with calmness. With the intention of teaching a lesson to the other person. That is why Lord Krishna said, 'Mayi sarvani karmani samnyasyadhyatmacetasa nirasirnirmamo bhutva yudhyasva vigatajvarah' (3.30)
It means, go and fight the evil being established in yoga.
