You say 'not everyone is lucky enough to come here to the Art Of Living. Some people even get here, but cannot continue. Then what is the deciding factor that keeps us on this spiritual path?

Question - Gurudev, you say 'not everyone is lucky enough to come here to the Art Of Living. Some people even get here, but cannot continue. Then what is the deciding factor that keeps us on this spiritual path?

Gurudev Sri Sri - Well, I have no idea, I tell you. Maybe their karma. But this is true, people discontinue on this path if they have to undergo a very tough time, they do discontinue, but then they come back. I have seen people coming back to the path after 20 long years. Even this morning one gentleman, he came here in 2003, after that he never saw me. And today he came, after what 18 years. He said, 'Oh, how much time I missed, I could have been benefitted by the knowledge so much.' But that realisation does come, does occur sometime in future.
