    PREFACE

    One of the world’s most inspirational and dynamic leaders, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is also one of the most original thinkers of our times. Emphasising practical wisdom, He has transformed millions of lives all over the globe. His talks are a blend of knowledge and guidance, delivered with simplicity and humour – a powerful and unbeatable combination that touches lives and hearts.

    It is with great joy that we offer this collection of soul stirring talks, given by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, over a period of time. These talks present a precious understanding of spirituality – the Science of the spirit.

    Fostering Universal Understanding

    Often people who take responsibility do not pray and those who pray do not take responsibility. It is interesting then that this hall*, which takes responsibility for the entire world, has seen a lot of prayer today. This is the need of the hour.

    Every religion has three aspects – values, symbols and practices. There is diversity in the practices and symbols, whereas the values are common to all religions. The growth of fanaticism, fundamentalism and intolerance in the world today, is because people are only stuck in practices, symbols and customs. They forget about the values – human values.

    It is very touching to see spiritual leaders from all communities come together here, to foster human values.

    The spirit loves diversity!

    There is not just one type of fruit, one type of person, or one type of animal, in this world. The spirit loves diversity. let’s not confine the spirit to a uniform. Let’s enjoy the diverse variety in creation by honouring, respecting and really loving all of it.

    We had often used the term ‘religious toleration’ earlier. I think these words have become obsolete now. You only tolerate that which you don’t love! Don’t you think so? The time has come to love each other’s religions as one’s own. A religion is great, not because it is ‘mine’, it is great because of what it is. This understanding in all priests, clergymen and those who lead people towards the spiritual and religious light, will put an end to the fanaticism and fundamentalism present in our beautiful world.

    It would be very nice if we all together adopt a resolution to educate our people about every religion, so that they all have a broader vision of life. No doubt, one must go deep into one’s own religion, but at the same time, having an understanding about every religion is essential today. We all need to work towards this.

    When we pray, we see the Divinity within us.Without prayer and meditation, which are the spiritual aspects of life, religion just becomes a dry skin. I often say that religion is the banana skin and spirituality is the banana. There is misery in the world because we throw away the banana and hold on to its dry skin! We need to enhance the spiritual aspect of our lives.

    See love inside you – that
