Question - Gurudev, I’m going through a lot of problems in life. You said many times that there is some higher power who always takes care of us. Can you please help me understand this?

Gurudev Sri Sri - When a small child gets himself dirty in the mud, he comes to the mother and shows her how his hands and feet are all dirty. He knows she will take care. Children who are one or two years old cannot take a bath themselves, so they come to the mother. Even if they need their diapers to be changed, it is the mother who has to do it. The child knows that there is someone who loves it very dearly, and who will take care of it at all times. In the same way, we must have this deep faith that there is someone who loves us totally and will take care of everything for us. If you have experienced this feeling even once, you will simply walk ahead in life with your head held high, and full enthusiasm. You will walk regally like a lion and not like some small insect. You will not cry over your problems thinking 'Oh, I do not have this, I do not have that. You will find that everything you desire will simply fall at your feet. Be strong from within, and know that you can do what you want to do. When you know you are not alone and there is someone to take care of you, you can overcome all the hurdles that come in life. This confidence has to come from within. Meditation and Spirituality brings you inner strength, makes you sharper, more alert and gives you an unshakeable peace and unwavering love and compassion.
