Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Tips: Why Do Things You Desperately Want Never Happen? Gurudev Reveals Manifestation’s Hidden Secret

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Tips: Desires arise in us through what we see, hear, and experience. Whether from past pleasure or pain, they create a longing for something in the future. But the moment a desire is fulfilled, another takes its place, leaving us in the same state as before. This cycle continues endlessly—like a merry-go-round that never stops.

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar explains that desires themselves are not bad. The problem begins when we become too attached to them, thinking they define our happiness. If things go as planned, we feel joy; if they don’t, we suffer. This attachment is what distances us from our true nature—inner peace and bliss.

Desires and Emotional Turmoil

Consider a simple scenario. You plan a vacation, but bad weather cancels your flight. If you accept it and move on, there’s no suffering. But if you break down, feeling as if your world has collapsed, it shows how deeply you identified with that desire. The same happens in daily life—whether it’s not getting your favorite tea or missing out on an opportunity.

Watch Here:

The more we attach ourselves to desires, the more we suffer. It’s like running on a treadmill that never takes us anywhere but still drains our energy.

The Hidden Secret of Manifestation

Ironically, the moment you let go of your desperate longing, things start falling into place. Gurudev explains that when we stop clinging to desires, we return to our source—the energy that makes everything happen effortlessly. It’s like struggling to switch on a light bulb. The harder you try without pressing the switch, the more frustrated you get. But the moment you touch the switch, the light turns on instantly.

Manifestation works the same way. When we are obsessed with a desire, we block its natural flow. But when we surrender it, the universe responds in unexpected ways.

Sankalpa: The Art of Letting Go

Gurudev shares an ancient Vedic practice called Sankalpa, where you make a wish and then release it. Whether it's tossing a coin into a pond or offering grains in a fire ritual, the idea is to let go and trust the divine.

Desires create stress, but surrender brings peace. The secret to manifestation isn’t in holding on—it’s in letting go.
