Sometimes from now I was thinking to write on Guruji, but trust me its almost impossible to write about Him. HE is beyond the expressions of words. Its impossible to define Him & tell about Him .Still I am saying something as human mind needs words to something to express. Like a lover cannot express that how much he loves to the partner. I also feels in the same way about Guruji & can say HE is beyond words beyond expressions to express. HE is like an experience & experience can only be experienced & can not be told in words. Like if you are a sick or you are feeling pain than that pain you can not express in words it’s the who is experiencing that pain that how much the pain is. Its here the words stop functions & you have to just experience that pain , love etc.
I was reading the “Guru of Joy” written by Francoise Gautier ( He is a French Journalist & also a Art of Living teacher).Somewhere Mr Francoise has written that Guruji is like a Peacock who has still not opened His full feathers in this world and we are waiting for the day when HE will dance like a peacock with full of His feathers. History will tell us that HE is the only spiritual master who has reached to all walks of life -religion, cast, creed, gender, nationalities, language & any other divisions we can think of made by the egoistic minds of man & lost somewhere the basic of life & that is love.
Some of the Guruji’s famous quotes on Love.
Love is not an emotion it’s the substance we are made of.
Love Moves the world
Life is Love, Life is joy & Life is enthusiasm.
Love is not an act, it is a noun.
“That which you cannot express is Love.
That which you cannot reject/renounce is Beauty.
That which you cannot avoid is the Truth.”
Q. When do we know that we are made up of love?
H.H Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Love cannot be known or understood. It can be felt only. The child doesn’t ask his mother – ‘What is your qualification, what do you do? Who are your friends? Tell me, then I'll love you’. Just like our body is made up of carbohydrates and amino acids, we are made up of this substance called love. Anger, greed, jealousy are all just distortions of love.
‘Love is that which cannot be expressed or hidden fully’
“If you keep trying to express it, then it will become just a sound and the feelings are lost. Saying “I love you” everyday and every time, it eventually turns into, “I can’t stand you!” Too much expression spoils things. If you don’t express at all, that is also not good. There needs to be moderation. Just like a seed – it does not germinate if you scatter it on the surface nor if you bury it too deep. It needs to be sown at just the right depth. In the same way, moderation is necessary.

Music unites all our hearts. Like music is the rhythm of the sound, the harmony in the sound, life also has to move in harmony. When all the different aspects of life are harmonized, life becomes music. Otherwise, it is noise!
All that is needed to make life harmonious, palatable, blissful – is called the Art of Living.
In a guitar, all the six strings have to be tuned; a drum needs to be tuned. Similarly, the various aspects of life have to be tuned. Our relationship with our Self, the people in our family, in the work-place, in society – all these need to be tuned.
The nurturing of the physical, social and spiritual aspects is called the Art of Living.
To be complete, be in peace with our Self, to be able to smile from the heart – we need to do certain things.
There are four sources of energy – food, sleep, breath, and meditation.
Breathing is very important; without breath, there is no value for our bodies. Yet neither at school, nor at home, have we been taught the importance of breathing. If we can understand the power of the breath, we can have a say over our thoughts, our feelings. We can control anger, negative moods. A few minutes of deep meditation gives so much energy.
You are made up of a substance called love. Like the body is made up of amino acids etc, the spirit is made up of love. Yet we have done very little to understand this. Everyone wants to love, and be loved, but we have not attended to the inner core of love. The power of love is so deep. It can heal people spiritually, physically, and emotionally.
The Art of Living is about enhancing that inner space of love in our life, and life around us; and that is meditation.
If you meditate in one place, it creates positive situations around you. Meditation is so much needed in the world today, it is the need of the hour. It brings peace to us, and changes the vibration in the environment.
When you leave this evening program, leave all your worries with me, as your gift to me. Go back home with a big smile. That is my mission, to bring a smile on every face, a smile that does not fade. Whenever you have worries, just post them to me! Have faith that only the right thing will happen to you. Trust in yourself and in God. Remove all negativities. The mind can go towards the negative. This is where the Sudarshan Kriya* helps; it turns the negative into the positive. It turns hatred into love, anger into awareness.

Truly speaking I become aware of this seem to be simple fact after experiencing the Grace in the courses.
Go…….Go, Experience Him…….Don’t waste time in doubts, life is too short for this, I already wasted my 9 precious years.
Love…
