Interviewer said "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one reallydifficult question. Think well before you make up your mind!" The boy thoughtfor awhile and said,"my choice is one really difficult question."
"Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice! Now tell me this.
"What comes first, Day or Night?"The boy was jolted in! to reality as his admission depends on the correctness of his answer, but he thought for a while and said, "It's theDAY sir!"

Interviewer
Sri sri
1. What is more important- knowledge or devotion?
Sri Sri: They go in hand. Its like a chair… if you pull one leg, the other will also come! Knowledge brings devotion and devotion brings knowledge.
2. How ca you incorporate spirituality in daily life?
Sri Sri: The first step is not to think that spirituality is not for daily life. It is not different from daily life. So you don't have to make an effort and try to incorporate it in your life. Your life can never be away from spirituality, it is only a matter of awareness.
3. If there Shiva inside us, then why do we do bad things?
Sri Sri: When you do bad things, your Shiva is sleeping. When your Shiva wakes up, he says, "It doesn't matter. Go ahead and everything will be alright." He brings back the power, the enthusiasm, the energy, to move on and on." In business or commerce, we only think about taking or getting, but on spiritual path, it is all about giving. How can we shift from one to
the other?
4. How can we remove the feeling of guilt?
Sri Sri: Being on the spiritual path is also about getting – you get so much joy just by seeing the joy in others. So, you do not have to feel guilty. Business is done with the head – you take more and give less. Spirituality comes from the heart – you give more and take only little. So never
do business with your heart and spirituality with your head. We all say that if we are more spiritual, we can be better human beings.
5. Howcan I be more spiritual?
Sri Sri: Just this question is good enough! From time to time, it will give you many ideas.
6. How can I be more useful? How can I be more spiritual?
That very question, that very inquisitiveness, is enough. Comment about attraction, desire and entanglement.
7. How can we avoid entanglement?
Sri Sri: You are the source of energy. Attraction happens when the energy on you wakes up. It is just electro-magnetic energy. One energy manifests at various points in the body (the seven chakras) as different flavours, different colours. When attraction gets satisfied very quickly, then
love does not blossom in life. When attraction is difficult to attain, it turns into love; and when that love matures, it becomes unconditional, it turns into dedication or devotion, the ultimate.
Love and longing go together. If there is no longing, if u kill the longing,m then love also slowly dies way. How can you keep the longing alive? By being centered, by being in yourself. Do not get completely lost in the other person, this becomes too much for the other person as well. Getting lost in the other person is called entanglement. If two lines run parallel, with some goal ahead, they will always be parallel, but if they focus only on one another, they will meet, cross and go in opposite directions! So, with attraction, you come together, meet and then separate; but if there is a goal, then the attraction remains forever. That's why , in life, your charm
is never lost when are well-founded and centered, when your attention is on the knowledge.
Love has no completion… because it is infinity. Something which has no boundary also has no completion. Radha is the longing, and Krishna is the love. Sometimes, the longing brings pain. To avoid the pain, you try to fill your space with something, but that pain makes you deep.
8. What is the greatest responsibility of a human being?
Sri Sri: Every responsibility, whether small or big, is important at different times. Even the smallest task can be done with perfection. You do not have to be a genius… just be simple.
9. How can I maintain happiness?
Sri Sri: Do not make such an effort. In order to save your happiness,you have to spread it. Share your happiness with everyone. Why worry in this short span of life when there is such beautiful knowledge?
Breakfast at McDonald's
This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through untilthe end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed mycollege degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology.The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish everyhuman being had been graced with.
Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'
The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document theirreactions.I am a very friendly person and always smile at e veryone and say helloanyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and Iwent out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.
We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a suddeneveryone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up insideof me as I turned to see why they had moved.As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.
As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'. Hisbeautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched foracceptance.He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.
The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. Irealized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentlemanwas his salvation.I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counterasked him what they wanted. He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that wasall they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up,they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out andembraced the little man with the blue eyes.That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging myevery action.I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two morebreakfast meals on a separate tray.I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as aresting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyedgentleman's cold hand.He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you.God is here working through me to give you hope.'I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I satdown my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me,Honey, to give me hope.'We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.We are not church goers, but we are believers.
That day showed me the pureLight of God's sweet love.I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story inhand.I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it. Then she looked up atme and said, 'Can I share this?'
I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read andthat is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share thisneed to heal people and to be healed.In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor,and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as acollege student.I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:
Unconditional Acceptance:
Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read thisand learn how to

LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.
