How many times have you cried?

Jai GuruDev....

Just turn back and look at your life when you were a kid. How many times have you cried?

You cried as though hell has fallen on your head. You thought that was the end of the world and then sobbed and sobbed and then went off to sleep.

So what happened afterwards? Anything happened to you ? You remains unaffected by all these.

Try this :

You can come home happily and say with a smile, "today the entire job that I did flopped! There was no success in any of the work I did today." Anyway everything has flopped, so at least do not let the mind also flop.


You should have the guts to say "come what may I am not going to give up the smile on my face because I am much more than the event or the circumstances. Everything comes and goes, but I continue in spite of all the situations."

When somebody has passed away, you cannot say "Okay, now I am going to be happy" and smile and dance! No, you should not do that.

The ancient people had designed a methodology for this.

They said that if anyone dies in a house, the people of that house are in âEUR~ashoucha' for 10 days. For 10 days you can mourn and cry. After 10 days of mourning, on the eleventh day, they usually distribute sweets to the people, have a celebration, wear new clothes, have a family get together and have a feast.
.
On the day of the final rituals, they take some ghee and water and put it on their eyes which give a cooling effect and then they decide. "Okay, now we get on with our life."


If a spiritual person passes away, then even this not there. Then every moment is a celebration because the sprit is all pervading.

In the same way, there is shoucha when a child is born in a house for 10 days. You are so excited because a new soul has come into your family. So be with all the excitement and happiness for 10 days. You are free from all the social rules and obligations for you to enjoy 100 per cent.


Then come back to your commitments and responsibilities.

• The sadness or sorrow is only in the circumference.
• It is like a cloud covering the light that you are.
• The nature of your being is joy. That needs to be uncovered.
• Again, you need not make a mood out of it.

Desire and Joy

All desires are for happiness. That is the goal of desire, isn't it? How often does your desire lead you to the goal? But have you thought about the nature of desire? It simply means tomorrow, and not now, isn't it? Joy is never tomorrow. It is always now.

How can you have desires when you are joyful? And how can you really be joyful now when you have desires? Desire appears to lead you to happiness. In fact it cannot. And that is why it is Maya. What do you say?

Jai Guru Dev

Happiness -

Q: Guruji, we are sparks of divine. Divine has given us air, light in abundance. Then, why not Anand (Happiness)? For which we have to do even the 'meditation in motion'.

Sri Sri: Divine has given us Anand too. We are just not giving importance to it. Look at a child's face, there is so much of Anand.

Q: How did God create the world Spontaneous or planned action?

Sri Sri: Spontaneously well planned.

Q: You say you are responsible for your actions and inactions. But in the bowing down process you say not we but the angels are responsible for everything

Sri Sri: Both are true. Truth is complicated. It is spherical like the earth. Things can begin at every point and end in every point Divine is Anadi (beginingless) & Ananth (endless).
