Q: I have love for people but I don’t laugh when others laugh and I don’t cry when somebody dies.

Sri Sri: Don’t get into a dilemma. Be at ease, in your nature. Be the way you are.

Q: What do you do when you have free time?

Sri Sri: Whatever I do, I do in my free time only (laughs). I read all your letters that you have written to me. (zeal in the audience). Although I do all this, I do nothing.

Q: The Art of Living Silver Jubilee celebrations were a huge function. When will we have another huge function again?

Sri Sri: Yes we will have one, in another five years.

Q: What is the secret of life?

Sri Sri: Life is a secret. If I tell you the secret it will no longer remain a secret (laughter). In this country we honor the secret. So we should do that. In the West, a secret is not revered.

Three schools in England have made Sanskrit a compulsory subject. After 20 years of research, they found out that when you speak Sanskrit your tongue rotates properly.
