QA with Sri Sri


Q: Dear Gurudev, how to maintain a balance between discipline and freedom?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You should know that they appear to be opposite but they are complimentary. Discipline brings freedom to us.
As a child you were disciplined to brush your teeth every morning and every night. That discipline brought you freedom from tooth ache and tooth decay, isn't that so?!
If you have the discipline of getting onto the treadmill, then that brings you freedom from cholesterol and other problems.

 
 

What is essential is both,
sensibility and sensitivity.
Totally logical, rational thinking
is essential; it creates sensibility.
Sensibility alone is not enough,
you need sensitivity. Sensitivity
is a matter of the heart. You can
be very logical but you need to
understand the view points
of others as well.
