Gurudev, when we think about you or talk about you, we often wonder what kind of atmosphere did you grow up in? What did your mother and father tell you?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
I always had this deep feeling right from the beginning that the entire world belongs to me and is my own family. I always felt that there were so many people waiting for me. When I used to say this in those days, people would not believe me and would say that I am lying. They would often catch my ear and also scold me. They would tell me, “You never lie about anything. Why are you lying to us about this?” I could not understand how I should help them understand this. So this used to confuse me many times in those days.
