QA with Sri Sri
Q: Why it is a challenge to be compassionate to ourselves?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Because we are in the habit of blaming ourselves.

See, what is spirituality? What is a spiritual path? It is getting in touch with yourself, the core of your being. Going inward to be in touch with yourself.
