🌿 The Science of Life — Ayur (Life) + Veda (Knowledge)

First know who you are, and then you can say, how the first ignorance came.

Question - Gurudev, the soul is eternal, pure and ancient, then how did it become deluded, that it does not know itself in its true nature?

Gurudev Sri Sri - This is called Atiprashna, i.e., the question which does not really concern you, and it is too much to ask for. So why did the first ignorance happen, these questions were never answered. In the scriptures also, it is said that this is Atiprashna. What are you going to do knowing that? Even if someone will say, 'Okay, this happened two billion years ago', what is the use? What are you going to achieve, or solve by it? There are many other things to know. First know who you are, and then you can say, how the first ignorance came.

Eternal Infinite Bliss

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः

सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः।

सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु

मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत।

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

May all sentient beings be at peace,

may no one suffer from illness,

May all see what is auspicious, may no one suffer.

Om peace, peace, peace.

सभी सुखी होवें,

सभी रोगमुक्त रहें,

सभी मंगलमय घटनाओं के साक्षी बनें

और किसी को भी दुःख का भागी न बनना पड़े।

ॐ शांति शांति शांति॥
