Love cannot ascertain authority

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  Vivek (discrimination) is essential here. Love is not an emotional thing.
Sometimes people think I am so devoted I should get this privilege; I should get to sit right in front. I should get the privilege to do this my way. That is no good.
Love cannot ascertain authority that way.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  Honor all the masters and walk one path. Because you served them they have sent you to this knowledge.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  Meditation is the antidote for hypnosis. People who meditate and who do pranayama cannot be hypnotized easily. It is very difficult to hypnotize them.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  Om Namah Shivaya is one who lives in all the five elements.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  There is something called your internal feeling. Someone says you are most welcome but inside you feel that this person is simply saying you are most welcome but he is not really welcoming me. That is your internal feeling that can identify others’ internal feelings. So you should not get fooled by their outside appearance.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  No, you don’t need to compare.
One thing I want to tell you. You have to repeat the advanced course several times to have a deeper experience. Don’t think you have done it once and that is it.
When you do it the second time you go a little deeper and third time your understanding is much better.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  You should not beat your children so often. Once in a year or once in a couple of years is okay. It should not become a routine thing, otherwise they get used to it and they harden their whole attitude. You have to scold them but again not all the time.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  No. Men are afraid if women chant ‘Om’ they will become very powerful.
Again only ‘Om’ is not advisable. You should chant ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ or ‘Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya’; something along with Om.
There is a school of thought which says if you keep chanting ‘Om’ it may bring you more reclusiveness. That is why it is always good to take a Sahaj Samadhi meditation mantra.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  No, just don’t recognize it as difficult or challenging. Just keep doing it and it will happen.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  Natural calamities occur because it is part of its nature. Secondly we have not been utilizing nature properly. We have been too greedy. We put dynamites on earth and blast it every day. One day the earth will shake; the earth is a living organism.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  Don’t sit and keep analyzing. Whatever happened in the past is all dead and gone, move on to the future. See the whole past like a dream. Till now whatever has happened is more or less like a dream. Look into the future, in the next 30 to 40 years what do you want to do. Focus on that with full energy and enthusiasm.

Шри Шри Рави Шанкар:  These are tears of love. When you see me you cry out of love.
