MIND..
Mind means moods, thoughts, opinions, ideas, all these things that we collect.
And, no mind is meditation.
When you meditate you go off the influence of the mind and go into the self.
The self is Shiva tatva.
Shiva tatva means, always benevolent, caring, loving, uplifing.

GOOD 'n' BAD
Sri Sri : In Bhagavad Gita Krishna talks about all the good qualities & then he adds that they are already in you..
Negative qualities have come because of company etc -You don't need to get positive qualities..
Just like in an atom, the core is positive and the negativity is peripheral..
If you feel deep inside is sorrow or anger then you can't get rid of it..

DEVOTEE 'n' GOD
A devotee is higher than the God. This has been said to sing the glory of devotees. In reality, both Guru and disciple are God.
To sing the glory of a devotee and to raise the level of a devotee, God himself bends.
It is like a father carrying his son on his shoulder, higher than him.
If Hanuman was not stronger than Sri Rama, then how would he have helped Sri Rama

WHY LOVE HAS PAIN ????
Love with wisdom is bliss.
Love without knowledge or wisdom is pain.
Why is there pain in love?
That is what you are wondering or questioning about!!!
It is not love which is giving you pain.
If it is just purely love, that means you just care for someone, you want the best for them, and then there is no pain...
But when you want something in return from them or you have demands from them, then there is pain...

BALANCE
Nature has its own means of balance.
If you observe nature, you will see that the five elements which form its basis are opposed to each other.
Water destroys fire, fire destroys air.
We need to learn from nature how to balance opposing forces, within ourselves and in the world around us....

SHAMBHO..
The word Shambho means to realize how beautiful the Divine is, how beautiful the creation and the Self is!
It is a miracle how the same consciousness is present in every being in this creation!
There is no other miracle greater than this.
How did this One become so many?
This tradition of moving from many to one is so unique. Yoga and meditation is necessary for that!
