Don’t let politics sway you away from the path. If you are afraid of politics you cannot be successful in the spiritual realm. You have to cross the barricade of politics. It is the test of your strength, commitment, and your focus. - Gurudev @SriSri#WisdomCookies
Marriage means compromise. You have to let go of your wishes and desires and listen to what the other person wants. If there is no compromise, then there are arguments. When there are arguments, fights happens. - Gurudev @SriSri#WisdomCookies
All your ambitions and achievements are connected with others. Either to show off, prove yourself, or provide. Just for a moment imagine there is no one to appreciate your achievements nor to support your ambition. You will find yourself to be calm and free.
In any situation, it is not worth wasting time on what people think of you. If they think you are dumb and foolish, let them go ahead and think what they want. You should not care. - Gurudev @SriSri#WisdomCookies
Make an effort to bring balance between your search for happiness and the expectation of others from you. It is a little delicate, but you should definitely make an effort. - Gurudev @SriSri#WisdomCookies
Without the knowledge we will be no where - realizing this, feel grateful for all that has come our way, and celebrate! - Gurudev @SriSri#WisdomCookies
The capital of Bolivia, the highest city in the world - La Paz - means Peace. July is celebrated here as the Month of Peace. Incidentally, we came here for the #IStandforPeace event. The @ArtofLiving has been in existence here for the past 16 years & this is my first visit.
People who are chaotic in nature find discipline stifling. For those who are very disciplined, chaos is irritating & unsettling. If you can be at home in both - chaos & discipline, you have won the game of life. Spoke at the #istandforpeace event in Charlotte.
“Foolishness is giving up without any effort or not giving up after putting in all your effort. Secret of freedom is putting all your effort and giving up!” @SriSri ji🌿🌿
Not always pleasant things happen; not always unpleasant things happen. In life, everything comes. Spiritual knowledge is not an escape from a situation. Life is a mixture of all pleasant and unpleasant things. - Gurudev @SriSri#WisdomCookies
Maintain a balance — have confidence that what you need will be given to you and at the same time, be dynamic, not lazy. - Gurudev @SriSri#WisdomCookies
Learn to make people your own. They already belong to you. They come from the same soil and breathe the same air which you expel. You are connected - so much connected. - Gurudev @SriSri#WisdomCookies
When a pole is being installed, after the installation, they shake the pole to check whether it is rooted well enough or not. Hurt is just that, to see whether you are well established in yourself, whether you are in wisdom or not. - Gurudev @SriSri#WisdomCookies
