he’s a spiritual leader and founder of
the Art of Living Foundation The Art of
Living Foundation aims to relieve
individual stress societal problems and
violence in 1997 he established the
International Association for human
values
he’s Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and here are
his top ten rules for success I am one
who always welcomes criticism and I
encourage people you should welcome
criticism and we board enough to give
criticism if the criticism is coming out
of benevolence that I want that someone
is criticizing so that I can become
better then it is always welcome but if
someone is criticizing just out of
jealousy are trying to pull someone down
then that is not good then that is
coming from him Malevich mindset so
constructive criticism I feel everyone
should welcome criticism with compassion
criticism with love he is the most
adorable thing and it should always be
welcomed if you can M embrace the
embarrassment nothing can shake you it
is one thing that people try to run away
from is embarrassment yeah criticism a
mild form of embarrassment is a mild
form of criticisms a mild form of
feeling and uncomfortable so sometimes
we need to get out of the comfort zone
feel that little uncomfortable
less then you know abilities in us dong
if you are content happy if you are
centered
everything will flow to you you don’t
have to go and grab something things
will come your way do you see what I’m
saying this is this is why this world is
called Maya you know why am i I mean
when you try to go and grab it it runs
away from you what if we try to possess
if you’re trying to grab something it
just runs away and if you are stable
still content within yourself
they all run towards you you know I say
we are all global people we have to
learn something from everywhere in the
world and I would say we have to learn
the precision and the timeliness and the
commitment from Germans the world should
learn I always say the perfection is
always Germans lady cassis is always
from England
the mannerism maitika sees you know and
business and salesmanship Americans
teamwork from Japanese Japanese are so
good in teamwork similarly spirituality
from India human values spirituality
compassion it all comes from India so we
need to get the best from every part of
the world and the next coming generation
will see that sort of global human being
you know of course technology has shrunk
the whole world into a global village
today through technology in one second
we communicate with the whole world in
the same way if we can tune our minds to
that simplicity the innocence to caring
and sharing we will find the whole world
as one family the global family when you
want to have balance you will definitely
have it
have it not it just this I want to have
balance my life this thought itself is
good enough you have already balancing
you are moving in that direction yeah
this question simply arises how do I do
it you know you can do it
ask yourself your consciousness will
tell you I am NOT balanced I am missing
out on this your consciousness will say
then you listen to your consciousness if
you are attending to your work too much
your consciousness will prick he you’re
forgetting your family you are wife your
children your husband then you say okay
who are tend to them if you are
attaining too much immersed so much in
the family and forget about all other
things then you consciousness will prick
my god what am I got into what did I get
into deer net I am just immersed in this
family affairs I am NOT being useful to
the world I had to do something add to
pursue my cause I have to do justice to
my work let my tear prick
then you do that but is wanting to keep
balance in life that very thought is
good enough it’s like the fuse in the
electrical system you know you know the
fuse in the electrical system whenever
the electric current surges too much the
fuse will break and saved everything
else like that that little amount of
guilt must be there like the fuse in the
system
you don’t justify your fall but that
little bit is okay to have like the fuse
in a Electric you know about the
electrical system you need all that
electrical board there will be one small
box called fuse so whenever there is
imbalance in current the fuse will burst
and save the rest
the electrical system like that in life
a little bit of Gilson is okay but not
too much like salt in the food if there
is too much salt can you eat it no got
it so wanting to her balance is good to
have like breathing in and breathing out
we need passion we need dis passion and
we need compassion all three has to
exist people without passion cannot
achieve anything in their life so you
need passion especially youngsters they
need to have a passion they lack passion
they get into depression
so passion is essential but only passion
this has been the problem only passion
will lead to disappointment and despair
so you need to have little detachment
that is dispatched and this passion is
where it’s like okay you did lot of
activity and you take some time to sleep
rest you let everything go and you relax
you switch over to the side and
meditation is part of the ability to let
go and move forward that I would call as
dis passion and in between we need
compassion if you see you have made a
wrong decision you have to weigh the
pros and cons should I continue on this
all my life
or should I change if I change what is
the loss that I will face what are the
problems I may I encounter you have to
weigh it you have to see how much the
change will make you better or if the
change is going to make even more
problematic better don’t change just
carry on with whatever your wrong
decision you made you know sometimes you
can’t change you have made a wrong
decision you have to go
you know you can’t think of being a
bachelor after you have had a kid once
you have a child then you have to be a
father or mother and continue then no
point in regretting the past
similarly you wanted to be a doctor but
you became an engineer and after 25
years of serving as an engineer you
can’t say no I made a wrong choice I
should have been a doctor there’s no
point now you can’t go back to to study
in the school and become a doctor again
you are an engineer continuing that dad
got it so you have to weigh the pros and
cons you see to achieve anything in the
world it needs effort to achieve
anything in the world any pleasure or
any material thing you want to achieve
it needs effort if you look at the
benefits that meditation bring into our
life we feel it is all the more relevant
all the more needed in ancient times
meditation was used for enlightenment
for to finding the self and meditation
is a way to get rid of misery to
overcome misery or come problems
meditation has been the way to improve
one’s abilities three things and today
living apart living aside enlightenment
if you see the social ills of today the
stress and tension it calls for one to
meditate the more responsibility you
have in your life
more is the need for meditation life is
much larger than failure and success
life is much larger than birth and death
we are much beyond them all not it if
you have this strength if you can
understand this knowledge then you will
walk like a king nobody can shake you
