K: Kaip pašalinti baimę iš mūsų gyvenimo ir proto?
A: Tavo meilė ir tarnavimas, galimybė draugauti su daugiau žmonių, gili meditacija ir malda pašalins baimę. Baimė yra meilė aukštyn kojom.

Labai geras patarimas. Aišku, patarti lengviau, nei pačiam daryti.... Bet nuo ko tai reikia pradėti....

Atmintis yra reikalinga tik, kad ji mokytų nekartoti klaidų. Ji neturi tapti rakštim subinėj.

A good friend is the one with whom you share your botherations and they will make you feel that your botherations are very small. If someone makes you feel that your troubles have increased after speaking to them, they are not good friends.

Q: How do we overcome the ego?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Be natural. Be friendly with everyone. If we are natural, ego disappears automatically. Ego is building an artificial wall between others and ourselves and thinking that whatever we say is right. This harms us as well as others. If we are natural and feel that everyone belongs to us and have openness in our attitude, there will not be any kind of pressure on our mind. The mind feels light. That is why we have to be natural like a child. This brings ‘Karya siddhi’ (perfection in action). Whatever we desire gets fulfilled automatically.

"Ketinimas susijęs su tikslu, o troškimas su kraštligiškumu. Ketinimas turi tikslą. Troškimo tikslas visuomet yra laimė. Joks įvykis ar objektas negali suteikti laimės, kurios iš tiesų trokšti!"

Q: Guruji, Earlier we had a very interesting discussion around ‘redefining the self interest’. Could you once again say something about that.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yes, self-interest is very important. On a long term basis, you need to know that if you go about doing things in unethical ways for short term gains, then you are putting yourself into a risk of long term disaster. Then you are not doing it in self-interest. It is actually self-disaster. It may appear to be self-interest, but in fact it will turn out to be self-disaster.
Another angle I would say, in yourself, include more people, include the society also. When you say self, you think about only yourself, or your employees, or your company. Now, your company cannot stay on if there is no sustainable growth in the society. If there is no buying power in people, there is no point in you manufacturing so many things. Nobody has the power to buy them. What do you do? So, you need to in your self-interest also keep in mind the buying power of the people. This is equally important as the manufacturing power that you want to possess. So this buying power of people also gets included in your self-interest.
I think that is one good way to look at one's self interest in terms of the whole society.

Visiems geros vasaros

Linksmų joninių. Neužmirškit, kad naktis iš 23 į 24d. iki 3val. yra stebuklinga. Vanduo taip pat. Jei jau neišeis išsimaudyti, tai bent atsigerkite. Nesvarbu iš kur - čiaupo, balos, šaltinio ar šulinio. O prisileidus į talpas ir užsukus su varine vielute kaklelį
, stebuklingas savybes dar ir išsaugosite. Tada įpylus porą šaukštų jo į vonią, ji tokia tampa visa.

Sėkmės.

filosofija po svenciu: "pivo bez vodki, kak pasport bez fotki.

Q: Guriji, You said there is no significant purpose for the universe but it is also said that every individual is born for some purpose. Isn’t it contradictory?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Truth is contradictory. Every little thing has a purpose, at the same time, it has no purpose because this whole thing is a game. If you consider the world as a game, then there is no purpose. A game has no purpose, it is an expression of joy. Dance doesn’t have a goal because dance in itself is an expression of happiness. What is the purpose of you laughing? Does laughter have any purpose? You are happy, so you laugh. You don’t have to wait for a joke to laugh. You know, children don’t understand jokes but they laugh, babies do laugh. If you think jokes are the only reason for one to laugh then babies would never laugh till they understand your jokes. You have an illusion that you have to listen to a joke to laugh. Laughter has no purpose because it is an expression of being, an expression of joy.
Love has no purpose because it is your very nature. The sun has no purpose to send its rays. If you ask me, why does sun shine, what does it achieve? I’ll say, ‘Oh my God, you are such a businessman, you need a purpose for everything!’ The sun shines because it is its nature. It can’t but shine. So, in this context, I said, ‘Whenever you think, ‘what is the purpose?’ you are caught up in the cause and effect phenomenon. No doubt, the cause and effect phenomenon is there, it is a law of nature but truth is beyond the cause and effect phenomenon. Divinity is beyond that. It is much bigger and vaster, so in this sense I said, there is no purpose. Sun shines because it is its nature, wind blows because it is its nature. What is the purpose of the tsunami? Was it just to kill people? If it’s purpose was to kill people only then it must have hit only those areas in which people lived. But it hit those areas also where there were no people. Nature is beyond cause and effect or conclusion, theory, understanding or misunderstanding. It is the existence which is total, beyond purpose. So you can say, virtually there is no purpose. If at all you have to pin down to a purpose then the purpose of nature is to take you to the Source, is to remind you of the Source, connect you to your Source.

Guruji, On one hand you mentioned that we are insignificant and akin to dust. On the other hand, you said look back throughout your life and see how you overcame challenges. See that there has been a guiding hand. The question is, if we are insignificant, why is there a guiding hand in the first place and if there is a guiding hand, is it fair to say that we are insignificant?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Till you know that there is a guiding hand you are really insignificant. But once, you know that there is a guiding hand and you are part of it, you become very significant. Charcoal and diamond are made up of same material. Coal in itself is insignificant but when it becomes a diamond, it becomes very significant. Truth is always contradictory.

Nezinau kodel, bet sita tema man atsiduoda gerom emocijom. Nors nesuprantu(nepriemu) puse skiedalu sitoj temoj, bet jauciu, kad zmones nori pasidalinti kazkuom, kas jiem svarbu. Nu kazkoks nuosirdumas jaucias. Jauciuos puikiai (ir klausau Change by Tracy Chapman ).

..... o galima tų porą nuliukų nuo niko prie širdelės

?

...gal dėl to, kad change'as tavęs nebaugina? Nes kas yra šioje visatoje pastovu - tai nuolatinis pokytis.





Vaikas beveik niekada nesupranta mamos( iki 7m), tačiau besąlygiškai ja pasitiki.... Aš taip gyvenu - pasitikiu besąlygiškai Dieviškumu, nors kartais tikrai neužtenka protelio suprasti šitąją logika. Tačiau kam man viską visada suprasti? Argi nėra puiki tuom vaikystė?

To improve family relations you need two things - No Explanations and No Complaints. Asking explanation from others is a foolish thing. And explaining to others thinking they would understand is another foolish thing.

Vedos... Like!

I want to tell you about an incident that happened in 1999.

At the end of the last millennium, there were rumors that on the 31st December 1999, the world was going to crash. Now this was because the computers were not programmed to take up any more programs and so everything would collapse. And so, there was this fear-psychosis spread all over the world, and more so in North America.
People even started storing food in their cellars. They were buying groceries and milk powder. There was a scarcity of milk powder in Canada, can you imagine? This was because everyone went on a shopping spree, buying food and storing it in their cellars expecting a big disaster to happen.
At that time, I took a whirlwind tour of nearly 100 cities in a matter of two and a half months. In the morning I was in one place and by evening I was at another place, and my only message was to say that ‘Everything will be okay, don’t worry. Business will be as usual, please don’t worry and please do not store things in your cellars. It is not needed. ’
Everywhere the same question kept coming.
Once again, this year in the past month I toured about 20 cities in 14 countries and everywhere people have been asking, ‘What is the fate of this world on 20-12-2012. We hear there is going to be a disaster.’
I said, ‘This will only be in the American movies. The world will not come to an end. If it comes to an end, it will only be in the movies. Things will be as usual and you just carry on.’
A sense of relief comes into us when we hear that there is no longer a doomsday anywhere near. We are able to sit back and relax, and enjoy our cup of tea and watch television.

Anxiety kills people more than the situation itself. Death will come when it has to come, but the fear of death is more disturbing, it takes away the peace. In the same way, the fear of poverty kills people more than
poverty itself.

"Išmintinga praeitį suvokti kaip likimą, o ateitį kaip laisvą valią ir gyventi dabarties momente. Suvokti ateitį kaip likimą yra kvaila, nes gali aptingti. Praeitis yra likimas, nes jos negali pakeisti. Gyvenk dabarties momente!"
