Why we dance

There are two things that make you dance in life:

1. Your desires

2. Love

Desires make you dance all your life. When one desire of yours gets fulfilled, then you get another ten desires. This run to fulfil one desire after another keeps you going on the merry-go-round, or the misery-go-round. It keeps you on tenterhooks.

Then there is another type of dance, that which comes out of joy and love. Deep love makes you dance. The dance that comes out of love does not make you tired.

But in love, you don’t get shaken - you shake the world!

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji
