Quotes by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Joy & sorrow come to all.

Sorrow brings depth and joy broadens our mind.

We should serve in joy and sacrifice in sorrow.

When you are in touch with the inner being then irrespective of outer 

circumstances, you remain in the perpetual state of happiness.

Moments of wonder are precious. The chattering mind stops, 

you make a leap from known to the unknown.

~Quotes by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Guru Purnima Special Quotes

Being with the Guru means spontaneous integration of Life & Wisdom.

A city without streets, 

a king without treasury, 

a merchant without business,

 a face without nose, 

life without wisdom, 

and a life without a Guru 

are all considered the same.

Drop all your botherations to me and be free of worry.

A Guru desires nothing from you except your well being and progress on the path!

The greatest fortune in this world is to be a Disciple or a Devotee.

Sri Sri Quotes on Belongingness - How Belongingness Helps to Change your Life

How Belongingness Helps to Change your Life

• ABC of Life - Awareness, Belongingness & Commitment. Awareness nurtures intellect. Belongingness nurtures the heart. Commitment nurtures life.

• Freedom is when life becomes a play, cravings and aversions dissolve and belongingness flowers.
• Live your life with naturalness, simplicity and belongingness.
• Naturalness, ease & belongingness - this is the essence of the Art of Living.
• The role of Art of Living is to bring belongingness in the world. #Corruption ends where belongingness begins.

Life Changing Happiness Quotes

What is the definition for life? How to lead a happy life?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Life is beyond definition. Much more than whatever you can capture or define. It is so vast, so big, it can’t be encapsulated in a few words. When defining life you are limiting the scope of life. Happiness is a factor that we have to consciously pursue. Unconsciously we all are happy, but somewhere in the pursuit of happiness we get stuck and miss the goal. That is what spirituality is all about - bringing that one smile. 

Once you are able to see the light, you see the entire past as a dream, move on. Wake up and see the present, you will find happiness is there, unconditional happiness. Then you are happy and not dependant on others for your happiness. Happiness depends only on your mind. When the mind is free of past impressions and future cravings, happiness is there.

Quotes on Stress Relief by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Happiness is our true nature. It is the state of our being when there is neither stress nor wants.

~~~

When you are free from stress and totally relaxed, love blossoms in life.

~

Stress is when there’s too much to do, too little time & no energy left. Meditation makes you efficient & energetic, stress-free and joyful.

~~~

A genuine smile can only happen when stress is gone and #Meditation releases stress.

~

Train the mind to live in the present moment, drop the stress that you are carrying for nothing. 

Our smile is worth the whole world & more.

~~~

We need to educate ourselves in peace, love, integrity, honesty. It cannot happen if the mind is stressed & intellect filled with prejudice.
