If you are bombarded by so many thoughts in solitude, you are in ignorance. If you are calm even amidst a crowd then you are in knowledge.
Sri Sri Ravi ShankarIf you're saddened by another's sorrow, then sorrow will never come to you. If you are happy at another's joy then joy will never leave you.
Sri Sri Ravi ShankarTo be free from ignorance you need knowledge. The mind should turn inward. Silence takes the mind inward and helps you to recognize who you are.
Sri Sri Ravi ShankarFor those who do not have faith in God, fear is a way to protect them. But if faith is strong, there is no anxiety about something in danger.
