Look within The spiritual Guru started speaking with devotees in a very soft and simple voice explained meaning of Antarang as sacred place within the physical being. ‘Sunlight’ consists of different shades of colour. It looks white when all colours are mixed with each other, but when isolated one could identify separate shade. Mind of an individual could be compared with complex form of colour. It depends on an individual which colour he accepts and which he throws in life, Sri Sri said.
Use heart and brain while understanding each other
Sri Sri explained difference between ‘sensitivity’ and ‘sensibility’. A person when uses his brain and has good sense and judgment is a sensible person. Sensitive person is an emotional one, gets affected readily by feelings of others, he uses his heart more than brain. In life one must establish between sensitivity and sensibility to lead purposeful life, he added.
-Follow the foot steps of Ancient Rishis:
All the scriptures in India are available in question answer format. The Rishis have shared their knowledge in this format only. Antarang Varta is developed on the basis of this format which helps a person to listening to knowledge; contemplating on the knowledge and making the knowledge your own by experience. This format has opened new dimensions to life, improved relationships and productivity, he added.
Ram Mandir in Ayodhya should become a symbol of harmony
Sri Sri disclosed his views about Ram Mandir issue as, “Muslims and Hindus should sit together and respect the court judgment. They should settle the issue amicably, respect feelings of each other with peaceful agreement and co-operation. Muslims should build Ram Mandir while Hindus should take initiative to build Masjid. There should be a board displayed in the premises of both Mandir and Masjid respecting values of both of them.”
