Your questions.. Sri Sri answers..
*
Q: Where do negative thoughts come from? If they
come in me, does that mean I am negative or bad? I refocus on thoughts again and again, but they come back. I judge them,
I don’t like them and I think about judgment, but I am not able to get rid of those? What should I do?

Sri Sri
Ravi Shankar: Now, there is a problem. You chase them and they come to you multiplied. Just give them a tight hug and you
will suddenly find they have disappeared. They are scared of your hug, but they are fond of you chasing them. So, they come
back again for you to chase them again, again and again.

If too many negative thoughts are coming, reason is lack
of circulation in you. Do a lot of exercises. I think you have too much free time to sit and think. If you keep yourself busy,
less of negative thoughts will come. If you are constipated, for sure you will have negative thoughts. So, set your bowel
movements correct. That will also help you. If vatta, pitta or kapha imbalance comes, then also you will have too many negative
thoughts. Ayurveda herbs will help for that. You can take 2-3 triphla tablets in night, and something to soothe your nervous
system, like shatavari. These herbs calms and soothes the system.
*
The company you are in can also affect the mind.
Company of people who are negative, can also affect the mind.
*
One last thing that affect is time. Certain times, certain
planetary positions and certain cosmic energies can all affect your mind. But all this will pass. Don’t be paranoid
about anything. Just know that time moves on.

Guruji's Knowledge Sheet: Restlessness (Contd.)
*
The fifth type of restlessness is rare. It
is the
restlessness of the soul. When everything feels empty and meaningless, know you
are very fortunate. That longing
and restlessness is the restlessness of the
soul. Do not try to get rid of it. Embrace it! Welcome it! Usually to get rid
of
it people do all sorts of things - they change places, jobs or partners, do
this, do that. It seems to help for some time,
but it does not last.
*
This restlessness of the soul alone can bring authentic prayer in you.
It brings perfection,
Siddhis and miracles in life. It is so precious to get
that inner most longing for the Divine. Satsang, the presence of
the
enlightened one, soothes the restlessness of the soul.
*
- Sri Sri
