Q: Why is it easier for some of us to commit to our own welfare rather than that of others?
Sri Sri: Because you do not know that whatever you are committed to brings you strength.
If you are committed to your family then your family supports you. If you are committed to your society, you enjoy the support of society. If you are committed to God, God gives you strength. If you are committed to truth, truth brings you strength.
Often people are not aware of this and that is why they are hesitant to commit to a greater cause. There is also a fear that commitment would weaken people or take away their freedom. Your commitment to a cause is bound to bring you comfort in the long run.
Commitment in life grows toward a higher cause. The higher the commitment, the greater is the good for all.
Q: Why don’t we take any vows in the Art of Living?
Sri Sri: When the path is charming, commitment is effortless and is part of your nature.
In the Art of Living we don’t take vows, we have wows! !!
