Gurudev, please explain in detail about parallel universes. Is it true that we exist identically in other universes? Do our actions in this universe will affect our twins in other universes? How can we gain access to other universes?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You have plenty of access to this universe to work with. So let’s keep ourselves concerned with this universe for now. Let's do something good in this universe. Let us not only think – ‘what about me?’ all the time. This world is on fire (in strife and pain) and you are needed here to stop this fire. Do you know how much violence happens in this world today? It is simply unbelievable. So let us all do something good in this world now. You will definitely not miss the other worlds. When you go deep in meditation, you do get access to different dimensions. Apart from that you need to gain good merit and that comes to you when you do seva (service). Do Seva, Sadhana and Satsang and don’t worry about anything else. I also don’t know. There are many universes.
