Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: You Are Greater Than Your Roles, Discover Your True Self

• Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar emphasizes that one's profession or roles do not define their true identity; we are greater than the sum of our roles.
• The spiritual journey begins with the curiosity about 'who we are' and the search for our original source, transcending religious fanaticism.
• Spirituality is distinguished from religion: religion is external rituals (the 'peel'), while spirituality is the inner search for the source of life (the 'banana').
• Thoughts originate from an unknown realm, and their quality reflects our inner state; intuition, art, and science stem from this accessible realm.
• Despite constant change in body, thoughts, and emotions, an indestructible 'Self' remains constant, connecting us to the divine and enabling true life success.

Why It Matters: Discover your true identity beyond roles and changing circumstances to achieve spiritual alignment and lasting success.
