Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

why can't we control our anger? because we love perfection. make a little room for imperfection in our lives.

The path of love is not a tedious path. It's a path of joy. It's a path of singing and dancing.

Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind, I tell you. In fact, others seem to be bothering you, but it is not other, it is your own mind.

Teachers can be a living example to their students. Not that teachers should look for students to idealize them. One who is worth idealizing does not care whether others idealize them or not. Everyone needs to see that you not only teach human values but you live them. It is unavoidable sometimes you will be idealized -- it is better for children to have a role model, or goal, because then the worshipful quality in them can dawn.

Love is not an Emotion, It is your very Existence.

Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.

There is a skill to learning. It is all about what is and what is not. While Science is knowing what is, Art is creating what is not.

Have this faith that someone is there to take away your weaknesses. Ok, you slipped once, twice, thrice. It does not matter. Keep moving ahead. People take vows never to commit mistakes again. Breaking the vows makes it worse. Surrendering is better

Today is a gift from God - that is why it is called the present.

When you share your misery, it will not diminish. When you fail to share your joy, it diminishes. Share your problems only with the Divine, not with anyone else, as that will only increase the problems. Share your joy with everyone.Listen to others; yet do not listen. If your mind gets stuck in their problems, not only are they miserable, but you also become miserable.

Faith is realizing that you always get what you need.

Worrying doesn't make any difference, but working does and spirituality gives one the strength to work

Wise is the one who learns from another´s mistakes. Less wise is the one who learns only from his own mistakes. The fool keeps making the same mistakes again and again and never learns from them.
