Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: The Way of Grace

Meditation is not an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a soul-stirring embrace with the essence of life. Balancing worldly activities with a daily dip inside ourselves puts us in touch with our eternal Self. We discover our innermost nature that never changes, even though our lives are immersed in constant outer change. This inner awakening to the Self is called Enlightenment.

Daily Sahaj meditation provides an inner softening, a full opening of the floodgates of truth and bliss that await patiently inside us. We find the peace that lies like unmined gold beneath all worldly tensions. Joy rises unbidden from the heart, independent of any outward cause. Tender love and compassion towards all becomes awakened.

Sahaj Samadhi meditation is another crest jewel in the Art of Living. It is easy to learn and easy to practice. Anyone can do it.

The inner journey is the unsurpassed adventure of one’s life. It is not something that can be mapped out from a book. Instead, competent guidance is required. Personal instruction in Sahaj Samadhi meditation is offered by qualified teachers at Art of Living centers around the world. (To learn, contact Art of Living.)

Let go of all your efforts, searches and desires, for God can be felt only in deep peace and stillness.
