Bad Antogast (G any), D . 

Q How an w b o as big and as fast as this (At of Living)?

Si Si Ravi Shanka I wond  about that too. I think you should hav bainstoing s ssions, sit with th  thos t ah s
and p opl of that ounty w an ty thos oth  things too and th n wait fo th ti . Y s, th  a two things On is
that ou ffots, ou skills att s. S ond is th ight ti . A obination of both will d finit ly wok

Q Guuji, pl as sp ak about dhaa and sanga.

Si Si Ravi Shanka Dhaa and sanga. Ou inn ost natu is what dhaa is. Y s, ou inn ost natu is dhaa and
sangha is ou assoiation, ou nvion nt.

So v nts and attitud a influ n d by only two things.

Th fist is by you own tu natu and anoth  by you nvion nt, th p opl who you a with, you know. In a goup
if so on says, ƝCo l ts go and hav a dink,ƞ w will say, ƝOk, l ts all go.ƞ W will go. In a goup if so on stats
talking n gativ ly, slowly anoth  p son will join a littl lat , th n th thid and th fouth. Soon youƞll find that v ybody
stats talking n gativ ly ƛ this is th influ n of th goup A hild is influ n d upto 5 p  nt by th nvion nt, by th
fi nds in th nvion nt and th shool th y gow up in. Anoth  5 p  nt is fo th pa ntsƞ g n s and t nd ni s.
Th n
t 5 p  nt is th i own oiginality, th i kaas, th i saskaas, th ip ssion that th y o into this wold
with. Th  aining 5 p  nt is though th i own s lf- ffot and th i und standing. So pa nts hav got only on -foth
influ n on th i hild n. Only on foth. Siilaly, ou sangha whih  ans ou assoiation has an influ n on us.
Usually what w all sangha is a goup of p opl who a on th spiitual path. P opl on th spiitual path an h lp you
with that uh-n d d n gy, biodiv sity n gy fo you to ov on that path. That is why wh n you sit and  ditat in
a goup, it is b tt  than wh n you a alon . How any of you f l that way? In a goup you f l lik doing yoga,
panaya, v n s vi ativity. Wh n you a alon , you g t ti d. You don't f l lik doing it. But f w of you join tog th 
and you do a lot of wok.

If you hav to wash th dish s alon , you will f l so bo d. But if 7,  o 9 of us a washing th dish s, ti just fli s lik
that. You donƞt f l ti d. I hav told you donƞt f l
haust d isn't it? How any of you hav this
p i n ? At ho if
so on is ask d to wash that any dish s, you would ib. And h  you do it with th sil , you do it happily joyfully. So
sangha an o th goup sangha an h lp you ov up in lif . It puts you in touh with th dhaa; and sangha only
happ n with th nlight n d. Thatƞs why Lod Buddha said Buddha, sangha and dhaa. Th things - th
nlight n d on , th opany of p opl and you tu natu - all th s things ipotant and th y all a on and th
sa .

Q. Guuji is th  any wong ti fo  ditation? Is it ok to  ditat any ti ?

Si Si Ravi Shanka You an  ditat any ti wh n you tuy is not full. Wh n you hav at n, you a full. Wh n you
sit fo  ditation at that ti , that is not good. Eith  you will not hav  ditation, you'll fall asl p o youƞll hav
indig stion. Th  will so diffiulty in  tabolis

Q Why is th  is a ift b tw n igants and loal p opl ?

Si Si Ravi Shanka Rift b tw n th igants and p opl living th  ... on of th  asons is that th igants a not
i
ing with th loal p opl . Th y  ain in th i own ounity and apus. Th y donƞt adopt th ounty th y a in.
This is a big issu . That is going to k p p opl s paat . Th  is an old saying, ƝB a Roan wh n you a in Ro .ƞ So if
you a in a ounty, you should adopt that ultu , you should b with th ounty, flow with th nos of that ounty.
This is ss ntial fo igants to know and und stand. S ondly, th f a. Migants f a that th y will los th i oots. This
th y n d not do. Th y should st ngth n th i oots as w ll aintain th i oiginal ustos ƛ languag , ultu ,  ligion,
tadition. That is fin . Th y should do that. On th oth  hand, th  is uh awa n ss about ultual div sity. Th  hav
not b n any f stivals whih int gat all kinds of p opl , of all diff  nt ultu s, ivilization,  ligions. This ulti-ultual
v nts, ulti- ligious v nts n d to happ n o oft n. That would bing p opl tog th , th i h ats and inds
tog th .

Q Guuji ou politiians ainƞt any good. How an you hang oupt d on s lik th on in y ounty?
Si Si Ravi Shanka W ll. I will l av that qu stion with you. You ay g t so id as. Sha th  with  too! W hav
to wok on this issu . Politiians hav lost th s ns of b longingn ss with p opl . It has b o anoth  industy. Politis
has  as d to b a pla fo  sponsibility and aing and pot tion of p opl ƞs w lfa . Rath  it has tun d out to b s lf-
aggandiz  nt, an industy of pow  and position and on y. This has to hang . You know, politiians will hav to
 aliz that th y a s vants of p opl . Th y hav a  sponsibility. Th  a so v y good politiians. 3ot that w
should put th  all in th sa bask t. But thos oupt politiians a th on w  ally n d d to add ss. That an
happ n only though duation and ising awa n ss of huan valu s aong th . I a v y uh on n d, sp ially
about Afia, wh  p opl hav v y littl to at. Th ounty is  ally going down and th politiians of Afia hav
hoad d billions - $0 billion - in a bank in England. Wh n I was sp aking to politiians at th Euop an palia nt, th y
told  that, ƝGuuji, w hav good n ws. W hav s nt $79 illion bak to Afia to th p opl th  b aus itƞs th
p opl ƞs on y. But itƞs not suffii nt. Itƞs only a sall potion of what p sid nts and pi inist s of th ontin nt of
Afia a holding th  . Siilaly, Indian politiians a holding hug aounts in Swiss banks. But itƞs all b n hush d up.
Th  n ds to b a wav of spiitual awak ning, oal and spiitual awak ning in th whol wold, sp ially in this fi ld.
Only th n an this b o t d So, itƞs a big task. Ev ybody has to wok fo it. W n d politiians lik Gandhi and Matin
Luth  King who a spiitual and who a fo p opl to uphold id als in soi ty. Isn't it?

Q D a st Guuji, an you pl as sp ak about guu and tatva?

Si Si Ravi Shanka Th  is only on ai, on sun, on ath and on oon. and siilaly on onsiousn ss. In th insid
of us, th onsiousn ss whih is wisdo, whih is light is guutatva. Tatva  ans pinipl . To b gin with, th fiv tatvas
a ath, wat , ai, th  and fi . Th s a fiv tatvas and th n th  is th ind, int ll t go. Th n th  is th aha
tatva whih is b yond th go. Th on who has gon b yond th go is all d Mahata. Fin  than th aha tatva is th
guu tatva. Th guu tatva is that pinipl of disiination, of knowl dg and wh n it dawns insid you, that is guu tatva.
In knowl dg th n you hav no d ath fo anything. Lif ƞs ission is opl t . Guu tatva always bings joy, f do fo
is y and uplift nt of th onsiousn ss.

Q D a Si Si, pl as guid  on how I an s v huanity. Lots and lots of lov .
Guuji Y s, o join th band wagon. Co join and think about what w an all do tog th . S alon wh n w do it,
individually, it is a sall ffot. Th  is not uh  sult. In fat, w bun out, w g t ti d. But as a goup w an do a lot.
Ok?

Q Th  a any kinds of lov but how to find out lov of you lif ? To sp nd th  st of th lif with only that p son
Si Si Ravi Shanka I l av th hoi to you and giv th bl ssings fo it. And on thing, you know, what v  you hoos ,
you should b awa of this dang  so body ls would hav b n b tt . So, itƞs b tt  not to hoos anybody. On
who you hoos , you'll  g t you should hav hos n so body ls . That situation is also v y uh possibl . So hoi
is yous, bl ssings in .

Q why do s judg nt
ist? wh  do s it o fo?

Si Si Ravi Shanka Judg nt is a s t of on pts whih app as to b obsol t . An opinion o a on pt whih b o s
obsol t , you all it judg nt. 3ot th judg nt that th judg giv s in th out, but th on you o up with. You hav
an opinion of a p son o a on pt o a situation, wh n that b aks th n you look bak and you say, ƝOh, I hav a
judg nt of it.ƞ If it do snƞt b ak thatƞs wh n you say, ƝOh, I know it is knowl dg , oh you know I know thatƞs how it isƞ.
You all it judg nt wh n it is obsol t that  ans it has bok n o pov d to b fals . Right?
Judg nt is opposit of intuition, intuition is th ight opinion. Judg nt is th wong opinion.
