Q: Gurudev, What is the secret of selfless service which is devoid of personal conflict? @Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar - Just do service. Don’t think too much, whether it is selfless or selfish. Never mind. Don’t analyze too much. Let’s keep it simple. If you enjoy doing service, it’s good. If u don’t enjoy, never mind because someone who is benefitting, is enjoying. It’s better not to analyze too much. Where is the time to think? If there is an intention only, it will make you feel uncomfortable. Just think I am doing it with all my heart because it has to be done. Finished. That’s it. And if u are enjoying then don’t think, “Oh I shouldn’t be enjoying” because whatever u try to push down, fight with, it simply comes up. In my commentary on the ‘Narad Bhakti sutras’ available on the @ArtofLivingApp, I have said: ‘Without any conflict, repose in the Self’. Now suppose there is some conflict, then don’t try to get rid of it. Simply embrace it and you will find it disappears. Q: Gurudev, I get bored nowadays. I am contented in my heart but nothing gives me joy except from ur talks. What should I do? @Gurudev Sri Sri - My dear, why do you have so much time sitting and thinking about urself? If u are happy, go and do seva (service). We have lots of things to do. Care for others, do some service. There is so much to learn. Learn more. Don’t run behind joy. Let joy run behind u. If you follow joy, misery will follow. If u follow wisdom, fun and joy follow. Wherever you go, fun tags behind u. Q:Gurudev, how do I know if I am growing on Spiritual path? @Gurudev Sri Sri - Look, there are no criteria. See from the past if u are more calm, or drop all spiritual practices for a month and see how do u feel, whether it makes a difference, or ask people around u if you are behaving better than before. Now none of these are benchmarks. And after listening to all these opinions, throw them all into the basket. If u learn to relax well, if u are able to see everything as a dream – nature of the universe, u are progressing. There is no other way. You are on a conveyor belt, u can’t be stuck, u have to move, or u will be pushed. When u are on conveyor belt, u will be moving. Follow @i_am_a_sadhak for more such amazing wisdom by Gurudev
