Q:- Dear Gurudev, I am involved in several community service projects, and have many leadership positions, and now the politics around me is bothering me and making me less effective. Please advice.

Gurudev :-

Wherever there are people, politics is bound to be there. Don’t shy away from it and don’t worry about it, you be rock solid. What appears to be politics will find its own way out. Have faith that only the best will happen to you and you will be able to do only the best! Keep these aphorisms with you like a treasure.

When you resist politics then you get deeply into politics. Your perception becomes political and you will get paranoid about it. All those who are paranoid about politics get deep into it. You should not mind it and then it will never bother you.

What is politics? Different people have different mindsets, and they air their opinions. For a while these opinions remain and then it all changes. Some people praise you and the same people will make nasty remarks about you, all this is very common. You should take this for granted or you will become uptight. When you are uptight you are not aware of how you behave.
It is better to keep oneself on a higher pedestal, smiling, laughing, accommodating and accepting that there is politics. Let politics be there, so what? You have to create this confidence that you will move through it.

Our trouble is that we expect everyone to be Mr. Perfect or Ms. Perfect! We expect everyone’s behavior and dealings to be perfect. We expect everyone to be saints but they are not, this is the trouble . And when anybody does anything different, we say, "Oh there is politics!" People’s actions is nothing but politics , it doesn’t have to be dirty all the time, though most of the time it is. So let it be!

It takes quite a bit to rise above all this and keep your mind on the infinite, and that is enlightenment! You rise above it.

Water is never scared of mud. So if something is muddy, you are water, you can wash it all off! Just remember this,politics is mud and I am water, I will run over it.

There is a beautiful poem in Kannada ‘If someone builds a home in the forest and is afraid of animals, what can I tell them?

One more story from Boone that Gurudev shared ❤️❤️
These stories are so so precious!!

Gurudev: I was not in a mood to start the Art of Living. Obstacles were there.
(I was thinking what would have has happened to all of us 🙈🙈)

There is a story around onstacles. There was a landslide in a town and a big boulder blocked the way. People tried their level best but the Rock was so hard and they couldn't move. They conveyed this situation to the wise one, the monk there.

The monk brought together everyone and created two roads around the boulder
It became even better. ✨️🙂

The rock which was fallen and was seen as an obstruction became a place of resting. So, the monk said that if in life one block comes, it opens up millions other doors. If one opportunity goes , know that you will get 10 more opportunities. 🎊

Look back and see you must have experience- something did not happen was for good. That's the faith 😇😇

(My perspective: After being into meditation practice for years; we all must have felt this mind shift from what's happening to what can be done... Rather than fixing things the way it was or wanting things my way, we can move forward with a new perspective creating new ways that turns out to be much more Blissful. Like Gurudev says past was destiny but future is my free will and act accordingly in the present moment) ♥️♥️

Story Time – Gurudev in Boone Satsang (10 July 2025)

There was once a legendary archer. His archery was known as “Ramas.” One day, his student asked how he too could attain such perfection 👼🏻

The master called him early the next morning, stood at the edge of a deep valley, and shot an arrow that hit the exact target. He then asked the student to try. 😌

The boy hesitated, scared of slipping and falling.

✨ The master smiled and said, This fear, this desire to succeed is the obstacle.
Let go of the ‘I want to be useful,’ the ‘I want to be perfect’. It is not the technique, but the mind that must be still.

🪷Surrender. Be fully present, without fear of falling or feverishness of I.

👏 The student followed this wisdom and, in time, became an archer of great skill.

What did you take away from this?
