Gurudev, if Isha is the force that protects us, what about people who are in poverty, disease, losses and danger? If it is their karma, isn’t the divinity protecting people with karma?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Protection is relevant only when there is a challenge. A doctor is relevant only when there is a sickness. Did you get it?
You have to rethink your question. How do you even know that there is protection by your side? When there is an issue, then you realize, ‘oh I’ve been protected!’
