A lover is beyond all rules

"A lover is beyond all rules. There is no rule on how to express your love. All expressions are a spontaneous outburst of love and love finds its own expressions — you cannot streamline it. Your eyes cannot hide the love, your gestures cannot hide the love, your steps cannot hide the love.

Love flows in all your expressions, in your behavior, in your walk, in your talk, in your gestures, in your whole life. One thing you can never fully hide is love. You can hide anger to a great extent, you can eat anger inside you, you can put a big smile on your face. People may not notice your anger, your vengeance, but you cannot hide love. It comes flooding from your eyes, your smile and your gestures.

There are no rules on how to express love, because when you are in love, you cannot do a mistake. A lover is beyond all rules, beyond all scriptures, beyond all theories and philosophies."

~ Sri Sri

A good sleep and inner comfort

"You know, one can gain money in many ways, but one cannot gain good sleep in many ways. A good sleep and inner comfort will only come when you feel everything is clean; everything is straight forward. When there is transparency, clarity and sincerity..."
 

know that you are not alone

Q: How can we keep a smile in front of all despite all the difficult challenges in life?

Sri Sri : When you feel like that, give it to me. I am with you.
Whenever you feel a challenge, remember me. Give me your challenges and know that you are not alone. You will sail through those difficulties that I guarantee you. Alone you may feel it is difficult.
Everyone smiles when everything is okay. The real achievement is your ability to smile when things go wrong. When everything falls apart and you still smile, then you are an Art of living member. You are well soaked in knowledge.

Q: What is the best way to forgive and forget?

Sri Sri : Give it to me! Drop it.
Anybody that you cannot forgive or anything that is bothering you, I am here to take all that. The Guru is there to take all your problems and challenges away. So you can just push it here.

Take the intention and then drop it.

Q: How to take a sankalpa and how to make one’s sankalpa strong and effective?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Being hollow and empty! 

When sankalpa arises in your heart then take the sankalpa and expand your consciousness with the

context of
time and space in the vast universe. In this huge universe, in this huge time, I want this little sankalpa

to happen 


and I am confident it will happen by God’s grace. This is what has to be done. 

Take a desire and feel it will be heard.


Guruji, many people have sent their problems and botherations here on the stage.

Sri Sri: Yes, leave all your botherations and problems here. I have heard that nowadays there is an increase in the number of suicides and that too from affluent and educated families. I would say, if you have any such botheration or pain in the mind, know that you are not alone. I am with you! Give all your problems to me. I am with you! Do sadhana, seva and meditation. Come forward and do something for this country. So go back with a smile and before going to bed, meditate for ten minutes and surrender whatever you desire and sleep happily. This is the way to take a sankalpa or an intention. Take the intention and then drop it. Dear Guruji, intention, attention and manifestation, what is the intricate science behind this? How are they connected? Sri Sri: They are all connected. An intention arises and when you put little more attention on that, it does manifest. Otherwise many intentions come and you don’t act on it, right?! But when an intention is given a little bit attention, which means you work on those intentions then manifestation does happen. Relationship means adjustment, it is giving. But at the same time leave some room for the other partner to give. This needs a little skill - to make the other also contribute without demanding. If you demand, the relationship is not going to last long. Demand and blame destroy love.
