Dear Gurudev, I am not able to forget my past. My past keeps following me, and this disturbs my relationship with my husband. What should I do?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

You have come to the right place. Meditation is the answer. Meditation makes you alive in the present moment, and you feel disconnected with all that happened in the past. How many of you have had this experience that you have become a totally new person after doing Sadhana? (Many in the audience raise their hands) All the old things have dropped off, and you are not the same person now. Even when you look back and reflect, you will not be able to relate to how you were as a person before coming to the path. You feel, “Oh, was that really me back then?”
