“Looking for perfection creates imperfection inside you.”
In this short episode, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar discusses how to deal with difficult times in life when it feels like we’re living in a storm and all of our notions, thoughts, and aspirations are falling apart. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar discusses how, even when nothing appears to be working and the mind is in a swirl of turmoil, one can emerge unscathed.
At rooh, we recommend this episode because:
- It recognizes the first step in dealing with a difficult circumstance is to become aware of it, as this can alleviate the mental chaos.
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar emphasizes the importance of not spending time in regretting what has happened, even if we believe it should not have happened. Although a bad situation can cause suffering, it cannot destroy a person. An individual is greater than his or her emotions, which exist only in the mind.
- We learned that peace comes from within, and when we are tranquil, our surroundings become extremely peaceful as well.
