Your questions.. Sri Sri answers..
Q:
How does one explain the role of Divine in evolution of species?
Sri Sri: What do you call Divine? All that is harmonious
you call Divine. All that is natural you call Divine. That which is not natural like stress, tension, negative emotions
are not Divine. Isn't that so? Reverence is the nature of evolved consciousness. The more happier you are, the more
reverence you have for everything. More grateful you are more reverence you have to everyone. When you recognize everything
is God, the more reverence you have for everything.
You know what sacredness does to you? Suppose you consider,
that this is just a cake, you just eat it, throw it. But if it is sacred you take it in both hands. 100% attention is
there. Your consciousness (sleeping consciousness) is woken up. With sacredness, 100% attention you receive it, your
heart is there, mind is there.
In India, children are told, mother is Divine, father is Divine. Because child cant
see Divine in space. so "Matru Devo Bhava" (mother is all love), 2nd expression of Divinity see father, 3rd is teacher,
all that he wants is for you to blossom, be strong and successful and happy in love, 4th place is Guest, Guest is God,
Guest comes honor them. And honor everything in the world, honor the trees, honor the river, mountains, animals. A sense
of honoring elevates you.
When something belongs to someone you treat it with care. When you know planet belongs
to God, you treat it with care. Otherwise we destroy the planet. We exploit the planet. Isn't it. Vanashree, wealth
of forest has to be honored as gift to humanity. We have been asked to take care of it, our world. Our whole life is
a wealth. So a sense of honoring is attached so that you feel a sense of responsibility to the society, planet. Hmmm.....

The
foolish one uses the spiritual power to gain material comfort. An intelligent one uses the material world to rise high
in the spirit. When you transcend the intellect you allow yourself to be used by the spirit. One who is awake neither
uses anything nor loses anything. Become intelligent, transcend and wake up.
- Sri Sri
