Responsibility and surrender, and intention and surrender are not contrary to each other. In fact, both can go hand in hand. Surrender cannot happen without sankalpa, and sankalpa (intention) will remain incomplete without surrender. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

know your childreN

you have to know your children, gently guide and swing with them. Sometimes tighten the reins, sometimes loosen. Put your foot down sometimes, but also give freedom. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

God is all around you.

God is all around you. Like there is air all around you. Whether you are awake or asleep, air is all around. Satsang is like a fan. The Master is like a fan. Only then do you feel the blow of the air. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Invoke the lion

Invoke the lion within you and have an attitude of sacrifice to rescue yourself from anxiety. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

When people point at you

When people point at you, just relax. Smile and accept it. Ego is just a feeling of having a wall between you and others. There is no wall. You belong to me and I belong to you. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Take care of your God!

Take care of your God! Atheists lurk around the corner. Doubts, disbelief and ignorance are the atheists in your mind — so you better take care.  - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Love

Love brings perfection. The realisation that you are not just the body but you are spirit comes through love. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
