Q: Why do bad things happen to good people?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Bad things happen because of two reasons. One is past deeds, and second is current foolishness.
If you are being good and foolish, then bad things can happen to you. You can’t say, ‘I am so good but why did my finger get burnt?’ If you put your finger in the burner, it will burn.
Or, today you didn’t do any mistake but couple of days ago you got a speeding ticket, and today you have to pay for it. You drove too fast yesterday, beyond the speeding limit, and today you will have to pay for it. You have to face the consequences. So, one is past deeds.
Good people could also have done some bad things in the past – this is the first reason.
Second reason – Good people would have lacked the skill and intelligence to not get into bad things or let bad things affect them.
One is called Karma and the other is called lack of skill.
So, you need both. In life, you need freedom first and Love, second. Without freedom, there is no love also. We need inner freedom - freedom from our own emotions and feelings, not from others. Freedom, love, skill, and energy, got it?

So, when bad things happen to good people, don’t say, ’Oh you poor thing! This should not have happened to you.’ And don’t even say, ’You deserved it; that is why it happened to you!’ Or, ’You lack skill. You have been so foolish.’ No!
Don’t tell them any of that. Just be with them with a smile, and support them. See how you can help them come out of their current situation without giving them an analytical commentary about their situation

Every job, every profession, every work on this planet is not easy. Every profession is tough. No work is easy. So, do not worry about any profession. All professions are the same. Find some job to make your life livable. You don't have to become too greedy and you don't have to feel a sense of lack. We need to feel abundance in our mind, in our heart. Money is something which can never be enough. If you see, even billionaires are also wondering how they can make their money grow by two-folds and three-folds. This race never ends.
Do you see what I'm saying? You can find a smile in a small hut, but you might not find a smile in a palace. You might not even find a calm mind in a palace.

Išmintis yra suvokti jog tai, kas dabar neišvengiama – yra Dieviškumo dėsnis.

Tiesa yra anapus gėrio ir blogio dualumo. Kaip dangus yra ir dieną, ir naktį – jis tiesiog yra. Tiesa yra anapus priešingybių. Ji apjungia visiškai priešingas vertybes – ir tiktai tuomet ji yra tiesa.

Q: Guruji, You once said that the body is in the mind, and not the other way around. Please explain what you mean by this.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: I give a very simple example to a layman. When you light a candle and keep it inside a glass, the flame remains only as long as there is oxygen inside the glass. In the same way, if you put a man or a woman in a room and lock them up, they will be alive only as long as there is oxygen in that room. So we are akin to the flame, we live on oxygen. Our consciousness, our life, our mind lives on oxygen, just like a flame. The body is like the wick of a flame, the mind is like the glow all around; though we don't see the mind.
When we take a picture through 'Kirlian photography', the aura of a person can be measured; the energy field around a man or woman can be measured. This is what I would say is mind. Mind is nothing but a mass of energy and intelligence. It is the wave function, the wave of vibrations around you.
When the body is relaxed, the mind expands. This is our feeling generally. When you are happy, what is the feeling you get? You feel that something in you is expanding, isnít it? And when you are upset, you find that something in you is shrinking; the energy in you shrinks and that is when you feel uncomfortable. When the energy expands, you feel happy, elevated and comfortable. And this particular phenomenon indicates that our body is inside the mind, and not the other way around.
Again through medical science, there is other evidence. Have you heard about Phantom Limbs? When somebody's arm has been amputated, still they feel itching and pain in that area where there is no arm, and they find it even bigger than the arm. This also indicates that our body is inside the glow called the mind.

Ar klausi vandens, ar jis teka? Kalno - ar jis stovi? Saulės - ar ji šviečia? Debesų – ar jie duoda lietaus? Tuomet kaip gali klausti, ar tu mane myli? Meilė tiesiog yra. Ji - ne emocija. Tai pati mūsų būtis.

"Įspūdžiai po škvalo: žmonės gelbėdamiesi bėgo į lauko kavines, o viduje buvusieji užrėmė duris ir neįsileido nespėjusiųjų."

Tikiuosi, kad tai tik žurnalistų antis..... ar taip įmanoma? Ne.

Visos avys taip daro...
Tiesiog taip yra

tu nepaėmei į kabutes? kalbi apie gyvulius?

Jei kalbam apie tavo citatą- tai "rask 10 skirtumų"
Beje, užsidaryti ir neįleisti kitų - žmogiška?

Aisku zmogiska plius lietuviska, cia labai racionalus sprendimas - atidarius duris gali ilekt viesulas ir sukelsi pavoju sau, kitiems ir gali but daugiau auku. Tuos kurie uz duru galima paaukot. Traukinys sikanciu nelaukia.

Ne tautybėj esmė jau, taip būtų pasielgę tiek rusai, žydai ar marokiečiai.
Ir racionalumo ten buvo ne daugiau nei tuščioj stiklinėj vandens.

Šoko/savisaugos būsenoj išsijungia recionalus mąstymas - įsijungia instinktas.
Štai čia ir alegorija į avis.

Tiesiog nepagavau tavo minties skrydžio. Viskas ok.

Sakoma, kad esama keturių būdų, koncepcijų apie tai, kaip elgtis realiose gyvenimo situacijose. Pirmiausia – draugiškumas. Jeigu jauti draugiškumą tiems, kurie yra laimingi, galėsi įveikti pavydą. Žmonėms, kurie kenčia, jausk atjautą, bet ne draugiškumą. Džiaukis už tuos, kurie gerai dirba, yra produktyvūs ir naudingi. Tiems, kurie daro blogus dalykus, jausk abejingumą, bet ne neapykantą.

Smurtas nėra savigyna, o nesmurtas nereiškia, kad trūksta savisaugos. Be abejo, turi būti pasirengęs savigynai, tačiau savo prote ir širdyje ugdyk nesmurtą. Ir pamatysi, kad esant nesmurtui, visiškam nesmurtui, net smurtingi žmonės praras polinkį į smurtą.

Padaryk, kad kitiems būtų komfortiška, ir pamatysi, kad gamta pasirūpins tavo komfortu.

Love is indescribable. You
can’t describe it. And there
is not a creature on this
planet which doesn’t know
it. Wherever there is a force,
or there is energy, or a pull,
or attraction, you call it love.
And where there is repulsion
that is also love in the opposite
direction.
