Questions and Answers

Feb. 2007
Q: Can you have faith without being aware of it?
Sri Sri: Yes. You have faith. Consciousness cannot exist without faith. Faith is a relaxed, stable, quality of consciousness. It is like the flame of a candle. The nature of consciousness is faith.

Q: For most ordinary human beings, loving means loving some people more than others. For instance, I can't conceive of loving everyone as much as I love my family…
Sri Sri: It should not be forced on you; it is a natural evolution in
life. You love your son but [after some time] you start loving your
daughter-in-law too. When a cousin you haven't seen for a long time arrives
from America and his children come home, don't you feel love for them?
Suppose you are in Russia or Mongolia and you meet [some] Indians. Almost
instantaneously you start talking to them and it doesn't take long to get
close to them. This sense of belongingness has different grades. As you move in the path of spirituality it happens instantaneously with everybody,
whether you know them or not. You feel a sense of belongingness to the whole world, all people.
