Question – Gurudev, is it correct to understand that not having children and not being in a relationship results in cutting off your karma, or is it a matter of choice?
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji –
It is just your choice. It is all about how you handle your mind.
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji clarifies that renouncing relationships and children is not a direct means to cut off karma. Instead, it’s about managing our mind and choices. Our karma is shaped by our actions, intentions, and attitudes, regardless of our relationship status or family choices.
This insight emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, personal growth, and mindfulness in shaping our karma. By cultivating a balanced mind and making conscious choices, we can transform our karma and move towards liberation (Moksha).
Gurudev’s wisdom aligns with the principles of yoga, bhakti, and self-realization, encouraging us to embrace our true essence, which is Absolute, Indivisible, Eternal, Infinite, and full of Absolute Knowledge, Power, Energy, and Peace.
May we all recognize the power of our choices and mind management in shaping our karma and spiritual journey.
