Dear Guruji, I know I am extremely lucky to be with you in this life time. But I do also feel that I am not making the most of the opportunity you are here to provide all of us. Can you please advise me on how best to make the most of the opportunity you are providing us?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: I have no idea!
Come on, just relax, enjoy and celebrate. No need to be too greedy. Just relax and things will fall in your lap; at least when you are here in a silence course. I don’t say this when you go out, then you have to do something. But when you are here on a silence course, it is like you are on a train, just relax. You are going to reach when you have got to reach. No point in running inside the train with your luggage up and down, you are not going to reach any faster.
If in an airplane you get up from your seat and start running saying, ‘I want to go faster and faster’, you will be shown the toilet. That is the only place you can go, to the restroom. That too if it is occupied you will be asked to wait; but it is not going to take you to your destination any faster.
So once you are here, in the knowledge and ready to be here, attend all the sessions. Don’t bunk the sessions. The food is good and very nice, but don’t over eat. If you over eat, being here also you will fall asleep. You have got all these instructions already, isn’t it?!
