Time, Space & Mind
*
Become God to
each other. Do not look for God somewhere in the sky, but see God in every pair of eyes, in the mountains, water, trees and
animals. How? Only when you see God in yourself. Only Gods can worship Gods. To recognize divinity, there are three dimensions:
time, space and mind.
*
For a seeker, it is necessary to honor time and space so he or she can experience sacredness
in his or her mind. When you honor time and space, your mind becomes alert. But for the one who has transcended the mind,
either sacredness has no meaning, or all time, every place and every mood is sacred.
*
Precious moments are few in life.
Catch them and treasure them. Place, time, mood of mind are factors that influence celebration. Snatch every opportunity to
celebrate, then you feel great and full. Then celebration infiltrates your mind in all moods and space, and celebration is
inevitable. Celebration reminds you of the fullness of the moment. The moments you are in the company of knowledge - the Master
- are the most precious moments in your life. Treasure them. Treasuring them you transcend the mind, time and space. And that
is true celebration.

Q: Effect of one
life’s karma is carried
on to another lifetimes. How do we understand
this?
*
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You sow a coconut tree two years
back
and it has grown today. Same way, until the impression of your
previous done karma is there on your mind, that karma manages
to exist.
That impression can only be erased through meditation, pranayama and
service. You are freed from that karma
when the impression is erased.
All this is there on the mind only. Karma is nothing but an impression
on the mind.
When you wake up and see that mind is a part of you and it
is your mind, but you are not your mind, and you have an untouched
existence which is much greater than your mind, then all karma
automatically dissolves.

Your questions.. Sri Sri answers..

Q:
I wish to spend some time with you, sit with you and talk. I want to travel with you. What should I do?

Sri
Ravi Shankar: Fulfill those desires which you can fulfill, and
surrender those which you can surrender. Fulfillment of
any desire
requires effort and time. When you surrender, your desires
automatically get fulfilled. Some desires are
fulfilled after desiring
for long time. And some are not fulfilled even then. Sometimes you find
it good later on that
some of your desires were not fulfilled. Have
this faith that Divine knows what is best for you. Neither criticize
desires
nor get swayed with the desires. Is it ok? This is the middle
path. As you become more aware, everything else automatically
starts
becoming peaceful.
