Dear Guruji, I am a young girl from India and I am gay. What can you tell me about the state that I am in and how do you suggest I act?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: First of all your identity is more than a gay or a straight person. Straight you call it? Straight! (Crowd laughs)
You are part of the Divine remember that. You’re part of Divine and you are beautiful, very good human being. This identity must be brought forth, first and foremost. And then these tendencies come and they go. So you have the tendency to be gay that is okay. That is a tendency that is there. You don’t know whether it will stay for your lifelong, or it may change anytime.
The people who are straight, suddenly after sometime and after several years of marriage and kids they find themselves that they have gay tendencies. So these things happen; you know it is a very low identity. First you must identify yourself as a part of the light, part of the spirit, part of Divinity. Once that identity is strong, the other tendencies come and they go, that you don’t need to worry; do you understand what I’m saying? Don’t label yourself, keep yourself open.
