🍁Ques: What is the third eye? How can I open it?
🌹SriSri: For God's sake don't try to open it! Third eye is the gut feeling, the intuition.
It is another eye sitting there. The sixth sense and it develops when you become centered and when you are content.
Then it starts functioning. Too much eating, too much sleep, too much activity is counter-productive for the intuitive ability to dawn inside you. Moderation in all these will help.
🌻Ques: There are temples where prayers get answered fast? Is there a spiritual power there or just a belief?
🌹SriSri: Yes. Most of the temples in this country were situated on hill tops and people would climb the hill.
When they climb, they would pant, their breathing pattern changes.
Almost kriya happens by the time you reach there!
In Thirupathi you have to cross seven hills and walk and walk. When you walk and you have such a physical exhaustion, the mind becomes blank.
When mind is blank meditation happens. And then whatever desire you have gets fulfilled.. This one aspect.
The second aspect is where there is positive energy and mind becomes calm, centered, then the Sankalpa get fructified
🍁Ques: Why is the idle mind a devil's workshop and how to convert it into God's workshop?
🌹SriSri: Just what you are doing here. In a positive environment, meditation, Seva and the knowledge
🌻Ques: What is the difference between space and Atman(Eternal Self)
🌹SriSri: You know this Universe has many dimensions.. and each dimension has its uniqueness and each dimension has some similarity with other dimensions.
So all that you can do is, wonder about it! And you can never say specifically that these two are too different. What appears to be different in some places are similar and what appears to be very similar, they are still different. That's why one of the sages said that you can only say 'perhaps'.
In scientific terms you say probability, a probability factor is there. There's a probability factor in almost everything.
🍁Ques: You always say don't fall in love, rise in love. How to rise in love?
🌹SriSri: Not demanding anything from the person whom you love, not even recognition, appreciation and knowing from yourself that it is unconditional. That is rising. It's very simple.
🌻Ques: Is Art of Living only for a specific class of people? Is yoga, pranayama important for the poor or taking care of one's family.
🌹SriSri: Look, one can move forward in life only through one's capability. And Yoga and pranayama gives you that capability. This not just for the rich or the poor. It is for everyone who wants to move ahead in life.
From a certain perspective the rich are poor and from a different perspective, the poor are rich.
Many a times the courage, confidence, the ability to share with others, that the poor have, the rich do not. In fact the rich are more miserly than the poor.
Often the poorest of the poor is more generous than the rich..
So don't think meditation, yoga is not for the poor. Even the poor today earn as much as white collared clerk in the city! But he spends 60% in alcohol and therefore remains poor.
So if the poor learn yoga and pranayam, then he will be able to get rid of all the bad habits.
Second his self confidence will increase, confidence will increase.
Knowledge is for everyone, king and a pauper.
In society there are two types of thinking – exploiter and exploited. We think the rich are the exploiter and the poor and exploited. We have to move away from both the thinking.. and awaken humanity.
This problem is not prevalent abroad. We have to get dignity of labour in society. And that will only come when the poor will move with self-confidence and self-knowledge.
Fifty or sixty years back, the servants would serve their masters for many years. The servants had loyalty and the masters had belongingness. They used to leave their house and children in the hands of the servants. These days the owners are not able to do so. This is because there is no belongingness in the masters and no loyalty in the servants. When one comes onto the path of knowledge, loyalty arises in them.
🍁Ques: How to get rid of ego?
🌹SriSri: The antidote for ego is being natural If you really want to get rid of ego, one day act like a fool or a crazy person, just one day, and you will see that you have come over your boundaries.
