GET ALL YOUR ANSWERS WITH GURUJI

Q:  Gurudev, what is better – to do the course or stay here like a guest? Guests seem to have a nice time compared to us. Last year, I did the Advanced Meditation Course here four times and the same guests were here enjoying. Who gets more of your blessings and why?

 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: 

You know, the guests miss it. They miss what you are having, what you are enjoying. The meditation and the silence, this is even more important. Since they cannot come for 4-5 days, they come for 1 or 2 days and I just meet them only once. Don’t imagine that I have guests hanging around with me upstairs and we are all having a nice time. No, I don’t let that happen. I tell them to go down, that there are people who are in silence here, meditating. And there also are other guests who do some seva.

You know, guests may think the other way round, "Oh, I didn’t get this opportunity. People who are doing the course are enjoying and looking so bright. Everybody is enjoying silence".

Definitely, those who sit for silence get more benefits. No doubt about it by any means.
