Gurudev Shri Shri Ravi Shankar's Wisdom about the Mantra of Letting Go

Gurudev Shri Shri Ravi Shankar, a famous spiritual personality and a digital content creator,  is not only known for his extreme spiritual and motivational guidance but also his amazing sense of humor. In his recent video, Gurudev shared a humorous yet perceptive piece of advice on the concept of ‘Letting Go'.

During an event, when someone asked Gurudev for guidance on ‘what is the mantra of letting go'? He simply replied in his humorous way and said, “ if you want to let go, then take a deep breath, hold it, and don't let it go. This sentence makes everybody laugh at the event. But on a serious nod by this statement, Gurudev highlights the importance of mindfulness and presence in the process of surrendering.

By comically instructing the audience to hold their breath and not let him go, Gurudev finely underlines the leaning of the mind to embrace thoughts, attachment, and emotions. As we think deeply about it, Gurudev's advice encourages us to pause, observe, and recognize our attachments without instantly submitting. As per Gurudev's statement a moment to breathe and consciously hold offers the awareness of the nature of our attachment and the possibility of expressing them with awareness and intention.

Through humor, he invites the audience to proceed toward spirituality with a sense of lightness and joy. His ability to convert a serious discussion into a humorous debate makes him unique compared to others.  His quiet nature and comic behavior remind us that spirituality is not constricted to stately rituals or dark examination but can be infused with laughter, playfulness, and impulse.
