Pleasure simply brings more craving, but the problem is that we try to get contentment through pleasure. True contentment can only come through service.
Sri Sri Ravi ShankarLove combined with wisdom is bliss, and that is devotion. Devotion is a strong bond, a sense of belongingness. Everybody is born with it. It’s just like becoming a child again
Sri Sri Ravi ShankarOne who can learn to flow with the current as well as manage the current is the successful one.
Sri Sri Ravi ShankarLife is more than matter. If it were just matter, there would be no need for comfort. Matter does not feel comfort or discomfort, beauty or ugliness, love or compassion, joy or sorrow. Will a chair ever feel sorry or happy? No, matter does not have these finer values. They belong to the realm of the spirit. But life is also more than spirit. If it were just spirit, there would be no need for water, food, or rest. Human life is a combination of both matter and spirit.
