Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Celebrating Silence

Sri Sri discusses topics ranging from doubt and fear to love and dispassion, describing what it means to be on a spiritual path. "Some people think being silent is spirituality. Many meditators feel that laughing, singing and dancing are not spiritual. Some people think only celebration is spirituality. In some parts of the world -- rural India or Africa -- celebration means loud music; there is no silence at all. But spirituality is a harmonious blend of outer silence and inner celebration, as well as inner silence and outer celebration."

Bang on the Door

Locked out of your own house, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar urges us to "Bang on your inner door" for all wealth is within you. A drop of water on a hot plate takes little time to disappear. It makes some noise and it evaporates. Gratitude in our life disappears even faster. We seem to forget how much we have grown and how much we have received. The mind seeks more and more. And in wanting more, it forgets the past very easily."
