It is a mistake to think time is going. Time is not going. Time is here until the world ends. It is you that is going. You don’t waste time. Time is infinite. You waste yourself.  You are finite. It is you that grow old and die. Time doesn’t. So make better use of yourself before you expire. And one of the worst things to do with time is comparing yourself to others. A cow eats grass and gets fat but if dog eats grass, it will die.  Never compare yourself with others. Run your own race. What works for one person may be that which will kill you.

And when it’s your group of friends or family etc. that are mostly negative, it’ll be close to impossible to stay as positive as you are because of that friction. They may not be aware that they’re doing that, but because of their low vibrations and all, they’ll do a...

Educators from schools and colleges across India asked questions as they come to sign an MoU with The Art of Living for conducting courses in their institutions.  How is the intuition power developed in the intuition program? In our country, a lot of parents have been given to guru, parents. Before independence, every movement was brought out by an educator. The freedom movement was facilitated by acharyas of schools and colleges. Revolutions in education, society and life have to be brought by gurus. We are moving away from that culture. Right now there is a gap between teachers and students. In DU, we had a program where we asked students whom do they dislike or hate. 85% said they disliked their teachers. 57% disliked their parents. After the 8 day course, we invited their parents who remarked how their behavior had changed. They began helping in the house. Their relationship with teachers also improved. This knowldge which comes from the ancient and new has brought transformati...
