Question:
I know it is important for me to be here with you. But I have a little conflict as it takes me away from my family. Could you comment?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You know when you here and when you go deep and get rid of all the stresses, you are also helping your family out there. The good vibration that you produce in your system doesn't just stay with you. Don't think that your silence course is only benefitting you. You are being in silence, you are meditating - some of it goes to your family members as well. You may have noticed, some times you sit for mediation and nothing happens to you. And most of the meditation you know, the benefits of those meditations are going to people who have crossed the other side. So when you have to clear your debts you find balance not going up. Because debt is being cleared. So many times it happens. There is an old saying "when you meditate the effect of it reaches to seven generations of the past and seven generations of the future." So the genes with which you are connected u know affects all those seven generations the past and the future. That is a very common saying in India. People know it. So a portion of our meditation, merits of our meditation goes to our near and dear ones. So you don't have to have a conflict. And when you are at home doing your job, don't think it is not spiritual. It is also my job. If you are taking care of your family know that it is not just your family it is Guruji's family also. So the whole world belongs to me and every body is a part of my family. So if you are taking care of your family you should know you are doing a seva, a work which is a part of AOL. And when you are here, you should know what ever you are doing you are also helping your kith and kin. Where is the conflict? |
