Just like in an atom, the core is positive & negativity is peripheral


Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Daily Sutras and Knowledge Sheets
Lord Krishna talks about all the good qualities & adds that they are already in you. Negative qualities have come because of company etc. Just like in an atom, the core is positive & negativity is peripheral. If you feel that deep inside U is sorrow or anger then U can never get rid of it. Modern psychology says sorrow is deep inside. It’s wrong. They know nothing about consciousness. Negativity is not at the core.

Look at the present moment - now, now, now! Wake up NOW!


Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Daily Sutras and Knowledge Sheets
Look at the present moment - now, now, now! Wake up NOW! Everything else is stupid. All that has happened has gone into emptiness. Everything dissolves into emptiness. Your entire past - wiped out! All the things that you felt are gone. Good or bad, they are gone. So, wake up to the truth of the present moment. Divinity is in the present moment. This is yoga. Yoga is being established in the moment.
