Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Satsang today Mantras are like seeds. A seed needs to be simply sown. You don’t open the seed and analyse the seed. A fruit you open and you enjoy the fruit. But when there is a seed you don’t open and dissect the seed. You simply put it in the soil and close it. That is why mantras are called ‘beejas’ (seeds). They are the seeds of creation.. It is the sound that is more important. The vibrations of the mantras are more important than the meaning. One sound may have many meanings in different parts of the world.. But the vibration of the sound is the same.. Mantras have vibrations which are universal. The vibration of the mantra which transcends the meaning has an impact on consciousness and that is universal. So its not so important to hold on to the meaning. Though it has some meaning on some level, but at a deeper level, the impact of it is what is most important. Ques: A few people show too much, too much faith, too much respect.. I wonder if there is something wrong with them or with me. #SriSri: What I would like to tell you is, stop judging others. Don’t look at others. Look at yourself. There are many different people, they express their feelings differently and there is no need to have a uniformity there. So everyone id free to express the way that they want to. Ques: How to drop doership? #SriSri: You just have to wake up and see. It’s a matter of awareness. Just become aware that everything is happening. That’s it. Thoughts are coming into my mind. I’m not bringing in the thoughts. Good thoughts, bad thoughts... are simply coming into my mind. And at that moment when you realize they are all coming, you are not making them come.. you realize, this is it. Then you pray may good thoughts come, may the divinity give me good thoughts. Let the divinity purify my intellect. Prayers are the answer. Que: What are Maha Vakyas? #SriSri: Maha means great, vakya means sentences. Great sentences. And one of the great sentence is ‘Thou are That’, you are that. That which is you are seeking, that is what you are. God is not somewhere there in the temples, mosques or church. God is where you are, in your heart. The divinity is right in your heart. That is the greatest sentence. And all this is Divine. That is another great sentence. “Sarvam khalvidam brahma”. All this is Brahma. There are four such great sentences. At different levels of evolution, you are given different knowledge, these sentences, for you to recognize that which is already there. Ques: What can I do to win your heart? I go around and run after you, but still you don’t look at me. What am I supposed to do to get your attention? #SriSri: You think I don’t look at you. That is not the case. But you don’t have to run after me. Just be where you are. I am right there with you.
