Ravishankar good words

Never link money with happiness. Even the poorest people are happy, if you see. In fact they are more happy. But money can create a false notion of security to you: You think if you have money, you have everything. The idea of money is for comfort. Isn’t it? Why do you want money? For comfort. But money can give you only one type of comfort. Physical comfort. It doesn’t give emotional and spiritual comfort.


Q: How can one experience true love in a relationship?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: I can give you three suggestions. One is for men, one for women and one for both. Women should never step on the ego of a man. Women should always boost the ego of a man. Even if the husband is a stupid, the wife should say, “You are the most brilliant man I have ever seen.” You should always praise him. He shouldn’t have to prove himself to you at home because the world requires him to prove himself. He should find peace at home. You should say, “You are the most brilliant man I have ever seen. Just the fact that you don’t use your brain doesn’t mean that you don’t have it. You are the most brilliant.” So, praise your man all the time.
Now there is one suggestion for men. Never step on the emotions of a woman. She may complain to you about her family but you should better not join the bandwagon. She may turn it around. She may take a U-Turn and say, “How dare you say such things about my family. What do you know about my family?” So if she is complaining, you just listen. She is paying lip service. If you say something and you hurt her, it is not worth it. When she wants to go for a religious service or a meditation program or retreat, don’t stop her. And when she wants to go for shopping, just give her your credit card. This will keep peace at home.
There is a suggestion for both men and women. The key to keeping peace at home is that you stop demanding love. You normally say, “Do you really love me? You don’t love me the same way. You have changed. You are different.” Asking people to prove their love for you is such a psychological burden. Just imagine yourself in their place. Imagine if someone demands from you to prove your love for them. What would you do? You’d say, “Oh my God, how long do I have to prove my love for this person?” One day, two days, three days, four days and then you feel like enough. This is what happens. There is a book called ‘Celebrating Love’ that you can read. There are many ideas about love in the book. We don’t know how to receive love unless we know how to give love. How can we express that love? Our expression is something that we keep looking for. So, don’t demand that others express their love. Instead, you should ask, “Why do you love me so much?” Especially on a day when you disagree or they are being nasty, you can say “why do you love me so much? I don’t deserve it!” Even for someone who is angry, you say, “you love me much more than I deserve”. Their attitude would change. Love would spring up in them. If you start demanding, you are destroying love

  2. kumar this is a good article. If a wife has to become a pain in the house then there is no need of her. I have seen my friends mother who was responsible for bringing down family. Uncle was nice person but she has the habit of finding fault in everything. After her untimely death that house is back on rails. A house where woman starts dominating is bound to collapse. Woman take care of house hold needs and let man run the show is always good. there is a movie 'PELLAM CHEBITHE VINALI' in which the last dialogue will be the house is run by man and helped by woman inside. Infact for woman there is a statement from olden books which says karyeshu dasi , karaneshu mantri, bhogyeshu matha , sayaneshu rambha. which means when working she should be like a helper, when planning she should be like a minister, when giving food she should be like mother, when sleeping she should be like rambha. i am not that big to add more words. but this article will help lot of girls if they can think and change for good.

  3. A female who cannot respect her husband is not fit to get respect from anybody in society. There are lot of girls of that type today who feel that they are earning so they are big. The article is very good kumar. I am very happy reading this article. very good articles kumar.
