Question: Guruji, what is the most important knowledge that one should remember when going through difficult times?
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji - If you have a problem in life, do not blame others. Because it is your karma that brings you these bad experiences. A good seeker or student understands this and does not complain.If the situation you are in is inevitable, tolerate. If it's avoidable, get out of there. If you feel like you can expand your skills, smile. Every uncomfortable situation increases your comfort zone. Every awkward situation is a test of how deep you are in knowledge. Love something of an awkward situation. This will increase your comfort zone. When your comfort zone increases, nobody will be able to press your buttons and you will become so focused and unbreakable.Every pain is trying to shake you, to see if you are strong or not. Test Your Strength. It is to make you stronger. What happened, had to happen, do not sit down and think that you could have done this or that, it is useless. Move on.Remember that in life when we face challenges, our inner abilities and talents ignite, making us more innovative and creative. The proof of your peace is only when there are obstacles. Appreciate the obstacles. Leave all the complaints and thank all those bitter days because they have given you strength.Whatever is yours will come to you, it will stay with you! You cannot go without receiving it. Even if Lord Indra comes, he cannot take it away from him; what is yours, you will get it for sure.Don't be in a hurry to get rid of storms, be with them. If you are peaceful, everything around you becomes peaceful. You are the center of this universe. Most important of all, not all storms come to interrupt your life, some come to clear your way.
Whoever walks the path of wisdom does not lack anything. Difficulties come but there is always care, protection and divine grace.
