Q: Gurudev, what is the secret behind your beauty and attractiveness?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
In English it is said, “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. So beauty
lies in the eyes of the one who observes. When your mind is happy and
peaceful, then you will also see joy and happiness in the world around you,
and you see everyone as good-natured. When your mind is filled with
negativity and aversions, then everyone appears as an enemy to you. It all
depends on perspective.
Coming here to the Ashram definitely helps in changing one’s perspective.
If that does not happen then something is not quite right with me or with
you. My only job is to see you grow and progress higher in life. If
spirituality did not give happiness, then why would anyone ever turn
towards it? Why would anybody take up the spiritual path if it was
burdensome? One definitely gets something good from spirituality, which is
why so many people practice it. Nature has designed it in this way.
