The names of many sanyasis end with “ananda”. Their very name reminds them that they are bliss, they want nothing for themselves and are here to spread happiness around them.
No man is an island entire of itself. If one person in a family is unhappy, it affects every other member. We are all interdependent on, and interconnected with, one another. Though happiness is an individual attitude, it is also linked to our environment. No one can claim to be happy when there are riots in the next street.
That’s why we need to take the responsibility of spreading wisdom and care for the happiness of others.
– Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji
