Q&A with Guruji
Q: Guruji, I enjoyed my silence, I really found peace. So if I become dumb, will I get moksha?
Sri Sri: (Laughter!!! ) Oh ! God, if you find something good you will go ondoing it!??!?! There are so many dumb people in the world, is everybody enlightened. Extremity is a problem in our country. Thereare some people who keep silence for 12 years. And after that theirvoice box don’t function, looks like almost rusted. They cannot speak; God has given an instrument, use it. Otherwise it would get rusted. But don’t speak too much, and don’t speak less as well. If your words are able to bring happiness, solace, definitely you should speak. Silence is also important. At least two to three times a year. Silence helps us to become more competent, become more courageous and efficient. So do both, keep silence and also speak. If you speak for 24 hours, then you loose your creativity.
Q: How to face criticism about AOL?
Sri Sri: Its not much. Its a better time than that of Jesus. There is not a lot of criticism. During Kabir, Buddha and Krishna’s time, there was a lot of criticism. This is a good time, there is not a lot of criticism.
Q:  In sleep and death, we lose our senses – what is the difference?
Sri Sri: Now, how can you say anything about death if you have not experienced it? Let us talk about only what you know (big laughter). After death, we do not lose all the senses. We lose only sense of touch and taste.
Q: Guruji, we are sparks of divine. Divine has given us air,light in abundance. Then, why not Anand(Happiness)? For which we have to do even the ‘meditation in motion’.
Sri Sri:Divine has given us Anand too. We are just not givingimportance to it. Look at a child’s face, there is so much of Anand.
Q: Guruji, my question is more personal in nature. We all say that if we are more spiritual, we can be better. How can I be more spiritual?
Sri Sri: Just this question itself is good enough no? From time to time it will give you many ideas. How can I be more useful, how can I be more spiritual? Thats good enough.  That very question, that very inquisitiveness, to want to be perfect.
Jai Guru Dev
