Sustainable growth is possible only when ecology is protected. Only a conscious person can find the balance between development and the preservation of nature. Someone who is anxious, stressed, or depressed doesn’t even take care of themselves. You can’t expect them to care for nature.

Q: Gurudev, I tend to think a lot about my future, my exams and their outcome and it always leads me to depression. How do I come out of this compulsive thinking?
@Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji - Know that every failure is a step towards success. Do you know that all those people who are now leading large corporate houses had suffered many failures in their early days? The ones who have started some of these large IT companies, in the early days, they were unable to get jobs, they underwent many difficulties and hardships. Now look at them, they are employing lakhs of people. So never underestimate your potential. If you have not done well in class one time, it is alright; know that something better is waiting for you. Remember this, ‘Something very good is going to happen to me!’
I want you to take back three things from here:
1. Only the best will happen to me.
2. Stay away from all types of addictions; this is not the age to get addicted to anything.
3. Be crazy about something in life; either arts, music, sports or social work. Many youngsters should aspire to be in politics also.
Your CM just told me that she needs a lot of talented youth. Do you like the idea? Be leaders in the world.
Today, across the world, Indian youth are getting new types of opportunities. You should learn a lot of skills, not just education; develop your personality; we will open avenues for you throughout the world. In every country, you can get good opportunities.
Q: Gurudev, is it important to meditate? Do all the people who meditate become successful?
@Gurudev Sri Sri - Absolutely important to meditate! When you meditate, you have a healthy body and mind, your intellect becomes sharp and memory becomes very strong.
India’s meditation has been taken up by so many universities abroad - Stanford, Oxford, Harvard. Do you know that now they call pulling the ears Super Brain yoga? When you meditate daily for some time, circulation in the head and the brain improves, and even the grey matter increases. A lot of research has been done recently which states that meditation is very important. Not only does stress get eliminated, but the Intelligence Quotient(IQ) also increases.

Q: Gurudev, our scriptures mention about 14 Lokas. How can we communicate or travel in these higher realms? Is it possible?
@Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji - “Fourteen Lokas you create here only. When you go into the negative spin, you go below. When you uplift, you go above.”
🔥 Seven Lower Lokas (negative spin – states of contraction):
8. Atala – realm of illusion and confusion.
9. Vitala – realm of uncontrolled desires.
10. Sutala – realm of struggle and hardship.
11. Talātala – realm of ignorance and misuse of power.
12. Mahātala – realm of deep fear and insecurity.
13. Rasātala – realm of hatred and exploitation.
14. Pātāla – lowest realm, total darkness and delusion.
🌺 Seven Higher Lokas (uplift – states of light and expansion):
7. Bhūr-loka – Earth, the human realm of growth.
6. Bhuvar-loka – subtle realm of prana and ancestors.
5. Svar-loka (Svarga) – heaven, realm of merit and joy.
4. Mahar-loka – realm of great sages and tapas (austerity).
3. Jana-loka – realm of realized beings absorbed in meditation.
2. Tapa-loka – realm of purity and tapas, beyond desires.
1. Satya-loka (Brahma-loka) – highest realm, truth, bliss, and union with the Divine.
🕉️ Gurudev reminds us that these lokas are not faraway planets but inner states of consciousness. Through meditation, devotion, selfless service, and wisdom we rise to higher lokas. Anger, greed, and ignorance pull us downward.
🌸 The key is simple: uplift your mind, and you uplift your world.

85% of your worries never even happen and out of the remaining 15%, you have the ability to manage 90% of the issues. So in total, less than 3% of your worries may actually happen. Those problems give us strength and depth to Life. Luckily for those who are in Satsang (the company of Truth) and do Meditation even those events will never happen.

महामुनि उत्तंक एक दिन प्रातःकालीन भ्रमण में कुछ दूर तक निकल गये। दिन चढ़ते ही धूल भरी आँधी आ गई और मुनि मरुस्थल में भटक गये।
.
जब मरुद्गणों का कोप शाँत हुआ, तब उत्तंक ने अपने आपको निर्जन मरुस्थल में पड़ा पाया। धूप तप रही थी, प्यास के मारे उत्तंक के प्राण निकलने लगे।
.
तभी महामुनि उत्तंक ने देखा.. चमड़े के पात्र में जल लिये एक चाँडाल सामने खड़ा है और पानी पीने के लिए कह रहा है।
.
उत्तंक उत्तेजित हो उठे और बिगड़ कर बोले, शूद्र! मेरे सामने से हट जा, नहीं तो अभी शाप देकर भस्म कर दूँगा। चाँडाल होकर तू मुझे पानी पिलाने आया है।
The Key to Happiness: Connection with the Master says @Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji
"A good chef is needed to make good food, a good driver to take you where you want to go, and a master to make your mind happy. So, I have come here to take away all your worries, concerns, and fears. You give them to me—I want you to be happy. Go back with a smile, and if you have desires or ambitions, don’t worry. They will all happen; they will be taken care of. It’s not a big deal.
When there is a connection with the master and you surrender your desires, you will see the results. Connectivity is important. When you are connected to the main power, the sound comes, the light comes, and everything flows. Similarly, if your phone is connected to the network, it starts receiving messages. But if your phone is not connected to universal energy or the network, will it work? Only the clock will work, and time will tick, but no messages will come in, and no calls will go out.
In the same way, you need to feel connected to the universe."

Ego creates this fear in you - what will the other think about me? Are they respecting me or not? Ego gives importance to someone else's thoughts, which are anyways momentary.

#WATCH | On the detention of ISKCON Bangladesh priest Chinmoy Krishna Das by Dhaka police, Sri Sri Ravishankar says, "It is unbecoming of a Prime Minister of a neighbouring country to arrest a spiritual leader. He is not taking weapons, he is not taking guns, he is caring for his people. He is just standing up for the rights and wants the government to hear the atrocities that are happening to the minorities there. Arresting religious priests is not going to do any good to them or to the people or to the country or even to the image of Bangladesh. We expect much more from Professor Mohammad Yunus who has got the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing peace and security to people and that's why he has been put there as a Prime Minister. We will not expect him to take such action which would further create more tension between the communities and fear. We request the government of Bangladesh to please take care of their minorities and control the radical elements that ransacking your own country and its image. Bangladesh has been known as a very liberal and progressive country. Do you want to take the country backwards? It's a very sorry state of affairs. I hope the government of India also puts pressure and I call for the international community to not let this go the way it is going and put pressure to bring security and safety to the minorities and make people safe there."
