Doubts are an opportunity for growth and clarification

 Question - Gurudev, I love you so much but my mind keeps on doubting. What to do?

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji - That’s the job of the mind, to give a lot of doubts. Being in love is the job of the heart and being in doubt is the job of the head. Both have got their places. You need to have both. How much doubt you can have, just keep having and when all the doubts are over and no more doubts come up, from there the faith begins.

 A beautiful and reassuring response from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji!

He reminds us that:

- Doubts are a natural function of the mind, and it's okay to have them

- Love and faith reside in the heart, while doubts and questions arise in the mind

- Both heart and mind have their roles, and we need to acknowledge and balance them

Gurudev encourages us to:

- Allow our doubts to arise, and exhaust them

- Don't suppress or fight doubts, but observe and let them pass

- Once all doubts have been addressed, faith and trust can naturally emerge

Remember, doubts are an opportunity for growth and clarification. By embracing both our heart and mind, we can find a deeper understanding and connection with ourselves and others.
