There are people who have done The Art of Living course yet they exhibit such angry and egoistic behavior. How to manage these people?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Suppose these people would never have done The Art of Living course, then how would they have been? They would have been much worse.

Some people do The Art of Living course, but they do not practice the exercises after the course ends. If they do not practice it, whose fault is it? Is the course at fault or the people at fault? If they have done the course, and they are showing some ego, then what is needed? Practice! They need to do the exercises again and again!

Six or eight hours after eating, you will feel hungry and need to eat again, isn't it? You cannot say, "I ate food yesterday, how come I am getting hungry today?" You take shower everyday but you do not question, "Why do I have to take bath again? I took bath yesterday, why am I smelling today?"
So if you have taken bath once, that is not enough. You have to take a shower again and again. If you have taken a bath, that freshness lasts for half a day or one day. But again and again, you have to repeat certain things.
