Q: Gurudev, you have said abhaya
(fearlessness) is a divine quality. How to attain total fearlessness? I still
have impressions of fear.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
In Patanjali Yoga Sutra, Patanjali says even
for the most wise and educated, that which lingers on, is fear or abhinivesh. Nature has kept that
somewhere. A deep sense of belongingness, love, dedication and a sense of
sacrifice will help one to overcome fear.
Q: Does renunciation bring arrogance? If so,
how to overcome it?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Definitely. There are two types of arrogance:
1. The arrogance of possessing, of having.
2. The arrogance of letting go, of sacrifice.
1. The arrogance of possessing, of having.
2. The arrogance of letting go, of sacrifice.
Both are equally bad. In fact, the arrogance
of possessing sometimes is easy to overcome, but the arrogance of sacrifice is
more difficult to overcome, and may stay on for some time.
