Solar Plexus
*
The solar plexus is called
the second brain or mid brain. For a yogi, the solar
plexus is larger in size. Scientists have also said this. It is small
in a
person who doesn’t do yoga and meditation. A yogi who does meditation and yoga
has a larger solar plexus.
When solar plexus is larger, creativity dominates and
generosity rises. When it is smaller, jealousy arises!
*
Inner
strength
The contrast between the ups and downs in life is greater. On a white cloth,
even a small dust particle is
clearly seen. Similarly, when the mind becomes
more pure, even small jealousy or anger is an irritant. It is unbearable
and you
have to get rid of it quickly. This is but quite natural.At the same time, you
get the inner strength to endure
situations.

Your questions.. Sri Sri answers..
*
Q:
What is the
whole point of this life? We are born, we study, we work and then
eventually one day we die. I am losing
my passion for life.

Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar: Good. You are on track. What you are saying is like
our intro talk.
Imagine we live for eighty years. Out of that,
twenty-five or thirty years we simply sleep. Ten years we spend in the
bathroom.
Another ten years, we are stuck in traffic. Then so many
years we spend being sad and miserable. Ultimately, only some
two or
three years we spend in prayer, service and so on. Good that you are
thinking along these lines. You are definitely
on the right track.

Guruji's Knowledge Sheet: Friendship For A Cause
*
Examine your friendships, they are often for a cause. There are several reasons for your friendships:
*
1.
You make friendships because you have common enemies. Fear and threat to survival can bring people together.
*
2. You
make friendships because you have a common problem. You talk about your problems and become friends. For example, sickness,
job dissatisfaction, ect.
*
3. People get together because they have common interests. For example, through business
or a profession (doctors, architects, social workers, ect.
*
4. You make friends because you have common tastes. You
have similar tastes in sports, movies, entertainment, music, hobbies, ect.
*
5. People become friends because of compassion
and service. Out of compassion and pity for someone, you become friends with them.
*
6. People become friends merely
because of long-term acquaintance.
*
Brave are those who nurture friendships for only friendships sake. Such friendships
will never die nor become soured for it is born out of ones friendly nature. Only through wisdom can one become friendly by
nature.

Guruji's Knowledge Sheet: Sound Energy Vibration
*
Sri Sri: Your whole body is made up of atoms.
Being with this truth kindles the energy in you and brings up the
consciousness. When you sing bhajans, the Sound Energy Vibration gets absorbed into every particle of your body.
Just like
a microphone absorbs sound and converts it into electricity, the body absorbs the vibrations and converts it into consciousness.
When
you sit in bhajans your entire body gets soaked in energy and transformation happens. If your are sitting and listening to
gossip or violent music, then that gets absorbed by your body and does not give a nice feeling.
When you hear the Knowledge,
or chant with all your heart, that elevates your consciousness.
There is an ancient proverb in Sanskrit which says that
the words of rishis and enlightened ones are translated into experience immediately.
Bawa says: We have read and heard
from so many people, but when Guruji speaks the same knowledge it straight-away hits home.
