Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: How to get the most out of these 9 days of Navrátri?
Gurudev – Nothing to do. Whatever we do is always smaller than us. What you get without doing anything – what you get through Blessings is much bigger.
Just be. Sit. Meditate. Receive. Then whatever experience you get is worth a lot. What stops you from receiving? It’s the small mind full of stuff. Someone does something, says something, this bothers you. Okay it’s happened. Something bothered you. Now you decide it won’t. It bothered me for 5 minutes. Now I swallow it and sit and be. The mantras are beyond understanding but you can feel the vibrations, the power. Meanings are secondary. It is the power you feel when you listen.
