Q: Gurudev, people across the world feel so deeply connected to you the moment they meet you. What is the secret to this belongingness, and how can we too live with such naturalness and simplicity?
@Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji - Remember these three aspects - naturalness, simplicity and belongingness.
I have travelled to so many countries and met thousands of people but I have never felt that anyone is a stranger and does not belong to me.
When we do not feel that someone is a stranger then they too will not look at us as a stanger. When will someone feel the belongingness? When we feel belongingness with them. Everyone is our own and no one is a stranger - this is the first mantra.
Second, whatever is inside is also outside. Just open up your heart and be natural.
Next is living a simple life. Living with the confidence that we will anyway get whatever is needed, that is simplicity. Right or wrong, I am what I am.
If we live like this, naturally, then there will not be any fear. Then there will be no doubts or blocks in life. This is the important mantra of @ArtofLiving.
Now this does not mean that because you are natural and simple, you go to your office and tell your boss, 'you are stupid'. Don't do that! Use your brains a little. ‘Gurudev says be sincere and natural’; so you go to a funeral, and say, 'I don't feel anything. Why are you crying, let us celebrate!'
I heard one gentleman went home after completing his @ArtofLiving Advanced Course, lifted his wife in his arms and happily went around the house. The wife asked, 'what happened today? Has Gurudev said love your wife?’ Then this gentleman said, ‘no, no, Gurudev said, carry your burden and botheration joyfully.'
Q: Gurudev, the botherations that I put in the basket, would they be sorted out while I am here, or will they come back to me after going home?
@Gurudev Sri Sri - Wait and watch!If you have put it for the sake of putting, you have not really dropped the botherations then you may take it back with you.
