The whole world reflects in a little part of Me

Lord Krishna says to Arjuna, “Whatever you are seeing in this world, that is all a little part of Me. Wherever you see any merit, that comes from Me only. Any intelligence that you see in anyone, that is Me only. Any valor that you see in anyone, that is Me only. The whole world reflects in a little part of Me - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

the core is positive & negativity is peripheral - Negativity is not skin deep

Lord Krishna talks about all the good qualities & 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 & negativity is peripheral. Modern psychology says that sorrow is deep inside you. It’s wrong. They know nothing about consciousness. Negativity is not skin deep. Know that it’s not in the core.- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

state of knowledge, alertness and wakefulness

In the morning, the mind is in a state of knowledge, alertness and wakefulness. It is action-oriented in the afternoon and in the evening, the mind is in a state of relaxation. One who wants to be unhappy can be unhappy the whole time, and one who wants to be happy can be happy throughout the day. A fool will be unhappy all the time and the intelligent one will be happy in spite of changing moods.- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

karma manages to exist

anna hazare
U sowed a tree 2 years ago, it has grown today. Same way, until the impression of ur previous karma is there on ur mind that karma manages to exist. That impression in the mind can only be erased through meditation, pranayam & seva. When you wake up & see that mind is a part of U & it is ur mind, but U R not ur mind & U have an untouched existence which is greater than ur mind then all karma automatically dissolves - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
