Q: If all actions are born out of infinity, why do we not see infinity in every action of ours? Please make it possible.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Oh, so this is a request? You are on the right track. Infinity is something which you cannot escape from. If you get away from infinity, then it is no infinity or you have an illusion that you have gotten away from it. Can you ever move away from space? Impossible. You are in space and you don’t need to make a mood about being in space everyday. Just be natural.
You know you are in Bangalore, you don’t need to remind yourself everyday that you are in Bangalore.
You know you are in Bangalore, you don’t need to remind yourself everyday that you are in Bangalore.
There was an incident that happened when I was giving a talk in Switzerland on Patanjali Yoga Sutra. Some of our devotees there were having some herbal tea and they heard this couple discuss about a course they did wherein the husband would wake up every morning at 4.30am and repeat to himself over and over “I love myself” for two hours. This is the sadhana they do. Our people said, "We don’t need to do that. We know we love ourselves".
If you love yourself, you don’t have to go on chanting that. Look, if you are in Switzerland and you go on chanting, "I am in Switzerland, I am in Switzerland", then suddenly you will get a doubt, am I really in Switzerland? The same thing will happen if you go on saying I love myself. You will get a doubt. It is impossible not to love yourself because you ARE LOVE. Love is not an act, it is what you are made up of my dear.
Many of these affirmations can lead you to madness. You can land up in a mental hospital. When you are in infinity, you don’t need to go on saying, "I am in infinity". Just relax.
