Longing itself is God. When there is longing for the Divine in the heart, when longing arises in life for God, then one acquires siddhi (extraordinary abilities) in life. Without longing there can be no love, no perfection, no contentment and no playfulness in life. Hence longing is essential in life

– Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Every form belongs to the Divine. When you adore the form, you adore the Divine behind the form

– Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

I have tremendous respect for each and every one of you. Not for you greatness or wisdom or talent, but for the very person you are. I respect everyone totally, so I can never lose respect for anybody, however they may be. Someone does not need to be great in order to be respected. Respecting life makes you great. Do not look for respect from others – that makes you weak. Have respect for the self and no one can take away your self respect.

~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Though you have often heard ‘do not judge’, judgement comes unavoidably in day to day life. You either approve or disapprove the actions and behaviors of people. But always remember that everything changes, so not hold onto your judgement, otherwise your judgement becomes solidified like a rock, bringing misery for you and for others. If judgements are light as air, like a breeze, they bring in fragrance and move away. Judgements should not stay forever. Only in the state of being, when you are full of love and compassion, can you ever be free from all judgements.

~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Anxiety about the outcome of your action is what pulls you down. But when we perform some actions as an expression of joy and do not bother about the result, the action itself brings fulfillment
