12 Quotes on Silence from Celebrating Silence a book by Gurudev

We live our lives thinking we are going to live forever! But life is very short. Do you often feel that the past few years have passed with the wink of an eye! And the coming years will too. And while we are here, why not make it worthwhile! 

Celebrating Silence, a compilation of wisdom bytes from Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, is a wonderful book to keep ourselves inspired and live our life to the fullest potential. Here are 12 insightful quotes from Celebrating Silence book:

#1 “When you have to act or put effort, know that life is short. When you realize life is short, procrastination falls away. When you are expecting a result, know that life is eternal.”

#2 “In love, even an object is elevated to life. Stones and trees speak to you; the sun, the moon, the entire creation becomes alive and divine. In lust, even a living being becomes a mere object.”

#3 “Negativity cannot remain without support. Positivity and happiness can exist without any reason.”

#4 “Your inability to break a habit causes a pinch and when you are deeply pained by something, the pain will rid you of that habit.”

#5 “When you share your misery, it does not reduce. When you do not share your joy, it reduces.”

#6 “The only thing you must remember is how fortunate you are. When you forget this, you become sad.”

#7 “If you think your faith in God does God a favor, you are mistaken. Your faith in God or your guru does nothing for God or guru. Faith is your wealth.”

#8 “Legendary is the love that withstands rejection. It will be free of anger and ego.”

#9 “An uncommitted mind is miserable. A committed mind may at times experience rough weather but it will reap the fruits of its toil.”

#10 “A sign of intelligence is to see the One in many and find the many in One.”

#11 “The purpose for this body to exist is to make you aware of how beautiful you are, and to make it possible to live all the values you cherish and create a world of divinity around you.”

#12 “Joy is never tomorrow. It is always now.”
