Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Quotes about Love

  • Love is the essence of the universe. Love in action is service.
  • Even if you win in ego it is a loss. Even if you lose in love it is a victory.
  • The Path of Love is not a tedious Path. It's a Path of joy. It's a Path of singing and dancing. It's not a desert. It is a valley of flowers.
  • Take some time off to go within, in silence. With that, your charm becomes eternal, your love becomes unconditional & great strength arises.
  • If you are a taker of happiness you get misery, if you are a giver of happiness you get joy and love.
  • Find the love you seek, by first finding the love within yourself. Learn to rest in that place within you that is your true home.
  • Love is preserved by wisdom. Destroyed by demand, tested by doubt, nourished by longing. It blossoms with faith and grows with gratitude.
  • A successful man has the following qualities: A smile that doesn't die; patience; fearless mind; love; self- confidence; love for everybody.
  • Love combined with wisdom is bliss, and that is devotion. Devotion is a strong bond, a sense of belongingness. Everybody is born with it. It’s just like becoming a child again.
  • What puts you on the road is your desire to enjoy. What brings you home is being in love.
  • To love someone whom you like is insignificant. To love someone because they love you is of no consequence. To love someone whom you do not like means you have learned a lesson in life. To love someone who blames you for no reason shows that you have learned the art of living.
  • Know that humiliation does not weaken you, it strengthens you. The more egoistic you are, the more humiliation you feel. When you are childlike and have a greater sense of kinship, you do not feel humiliated. When you are steeped in love with the Existence, with the Divine, nothing whatsoever can humiliate you.
  • In true love there is no heart break. A broken heart means broken demands, broken expectations and broken hopes.
  • Your love is unique. Let love remain love, don’t give it any name. The love that is defined by a relationship is limited. The love that is beyond relationships, that is true love.
  • Worry is the enemy of love. You cannot be in love and be worried at the same time.
  • Make the Universal personal and you become richer, wiser and stronger. Make the personal Universal and you will find freedom, compassion and love.
  • The source of your mind is love and whatever you do to go to that source, is spiritual practice.
  • The knowledge that unites love and wisdom, that uplifts the spirit is spirituality. The knowledge which gives you a broad vision and a big heart is spirituality.
  • Faith is what? Faith is to love something you have no idea about.
  • Either a princess or a pauper can feel generous. Generosity is the quality of the spirit. When you feel generous your life becomes, abundant full of compassion and love.
  • If you are unhappy, even the moon irritates you, sweet things nauseate, music disturbs. When you are calm and centered inside, noise is musical, clouds are magical, rain is liquid love.
  • I tell you, deep inside you is a fountain of bliss, a fountain of joy. Deep inside your center core is truth, light, love, there is no guilt there, there is no fear there. Psychologists have never looked deep enough.
  • Love is giving everything and taking nothing.
  • Love is seeing God in the person next to us, and meditation is seeing God within us.
  • Don't Fall in love, Rise in Love!
