Only spirituality and knowledge can bring charm into your life’
問：我有個交往了四年的要好女友，但最近因為一些小誤會，我們分手了。我想要和她回來，但我不知道該怎麼做。
答：基本上你是心碎了。所以，好吧，你想要什麼？你要她重回妳身邊，對不對？那你拿什麼保證，如果她重回你身邊，她會快樂呢？你知道怎樣去達成你想要的嗎？
你必須深入自己的內在，你必須變得平靜及穩定。當你狂躁時，你的心是騷動、不平靜的，你失去了所有的魅力。假如你沒了魅力，那又怎能保證別人願意跟你在一起呢？你必須讓自己愉悅、有魅力、強壯並且敏銳。
誰會想要跟一個老是不快樂、悲傷或是沮喪的人在一起呢？首先，你要先擺脫你的悲傷、甩掉過去，接受過去給你的教訓，並且繼續向前行。你必須要變得強壯、安詳且平靜。靜坐、呼吸法練習、淨化呼吸法及瑜珈，這四者對你會有幫助。去做這些的瑜珈鍛鍊，你會馬上看到自己的改變。當改變開始時，你的願望也開始慢慢地在實現。
當你絕望時，你只有兩件事可以做，不是去自殺，就是安住在瑜珈修行裡。只有靈修鍛鍊及知識能夠為你的生命帶來魅力。一個瑜珈行者不僅可以實現自己的願望，同時也能夠幫助別人實現他們的願望。
Q: I have been in love with a girl for the past four years. Recently she broke up with me because of some misunderstanding. I want her back and don’t know what to do.
Sri Sri: Basically you broke your heart. Okay so what do you want? You want her back right? What is the guarantee that if she comes back to you she will be happy? Do you know how to achieve what you want? You have to go deep inside. You have to become calm and centered. When you are feverish, your mind is agitated. You lose all your charm. If you are not charming, what is the guarantee that anybody will stay with you? You have to make yourself pleasant, charming, strong and subtle. Who wants to be with someone who is unhappy, sad or depressed? First get rid of your sadness. Shake off the past. accept the lessons from the past and move on. You have to become strong, serene, and calm.
Only when you meditate, do pranayama and Sudarshan Kriya, Yoga then you can have all the four. Do yoga and you will see the difference immediately? When the difference comes your wishes will start being fulfilled.
When you are desperate, you can do only two things. Either commit suicide or repose in yoga. Only spirituality and knowledge can bring charm into your life. A yogi is one who not only can fulfill his desires but can also fulfill others desires.
問：古儒吉，我都有做呼吸法練習、靜坐，但我覺得一點用也沒有。我覺得我是在浪費時間。因為我還是沒辦法讀書。上一個考試，我的成績也不理想，所以我想我是在浪費時間靜坐。
答：有時候你覺得你的雜念太多了。假如你想要讓心靜下來，你必須作靈修練習及不動心。透過靈修練習及不動心，你才有辦法靜坐。一個過於野心勃勃的心智會扼殺靈性。每天聆聽知識 15 到 20 分鐘並做呼吸法練習，你就一定有辦法靜坐了。
Q: Guruji I have been doing pranayama, meditation, but I don’t think its helping. I think I am wasting my time doing this because I am still not able to study. I did not even fair well in my last exam, so am I wasting my time doing meditation?
Sri Sri: Sometimes you think you have too many thoughts. If you want your mind to be still then you need to do abhyasa (practice) and vairagya (dispassion).
Through practice and dispassion you can meditate. An over ambitious mind kills the spirit. Listening to knowledge for 15 to 20 minutes a day and doing the practice will ensure to you get into meditation.
