Shambho means to realize how beautiful the Divine is

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!

Tat sanidho vair tyaga

The effect of divine energy is such that it transforms all the negative tendencies in the mind. Whatever has been said in Yogasutras, “Tat sanidho vair tyaga”, is very true – One gets free from the feeling of animosity in the company of truth, in the company of those who practice meditation.- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

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

The self is Shiva tatva

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Daily Sutras and Knowledge Sheets
Mind means moods, thoughts, opinions, ideas, all these things that we collect. NO-MIND is meditation. Dawn and dusk are considered very good for mediation. 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. That consciousness deep within you will nullify the negative influences of the mind and the time.

Truth is that which does not change

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Daily Sutras and Knowledge Sheets
Truth is that which does not change. Examine your life and identify all that changes as "not truth." With this outlook, you will find that you are surrounded by only untruth.
When you identify untruth, then you will become free from it. When you do not identify the untruth, you cannot become free from it. Your own experiences in life make you identify your own untruth.

Only with awareness can anything be corrected

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Daily Sutras and Knowledge Sheets
First, anger is to be tamed. Know this: when the mind is so joyful and contented, when you are in meditation and leave room for imperfections and mistakes, you don’t get angry in the first place. Know that no mistake can be corrected with anger. Only with awareness can anything be corrected.

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.

make an effort to spread the happiness

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Daily Sutras and Knowledge Sheets
Lord Krishna tells Arjuna, ‘You think about it, analyze it, if it appeals to your mind & if you agree then you accept it.’ This means the strength that is within us; the strength of the soul is what gives us this freedom. So now we have to utilize it in the right direction. So whenever we are happy and joyful we should make an effort to spread this happiness, this joy to minimum ten other people. Will you all do it?

Satisfaction is true wealth

Amazon Basin

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Daily Sutras and Knowledge Sheets
In life, there should be all types of prosperity – usually money is associated with prosperity. Satisfaction is true wealth. The air, earth and time are also wealth. The right usage of time is very important. There is a wealth in knowledge. Its nectar should be in our consciousness. Whatever we have, whatever we can give, should be shared. We must practice charity.
