Guruji, it is said that we receive only as much as we deserve and only when time is right. If that is true then why should we make an effort to do anything?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Well, just keep doing you duty and be 100% in whatever you do. See the past as destiny, future as free will and be happy in the present. This is the intelligent way to be.
You know what fools do? They keep regretting the past, thinking the past was free will. Then they think the future is all destined and so they don’t do anything about it, and in the present they are miserable.
So, you have two choices. Got it?
