Sri Sri Ravishankar on the GM

The Gayatri mantra is one of the greatest prayers mankind has. What does it say? Let me soak in the Divine, and let the Divine destroy all my sins. The Divine light that burns all sin, let me adore and soak in that Divine light. And let the Divinity inspire my intellect. See, all our actions happen through our intellect, right? Thoughts comes and then you act. So you pray to the Divine to bring good thoughts into your mind. You pray to the Divine, 'Take over my intellect. Inspire my intellect'; dhiyo yonah prachodayat. Dhi means intellect. May my intellect be guided by, kindled by, and inspired by you (Divinity). When right thoughts come, your action will always be right. When intuitive thoughts come, your actions will be fruitful. So praying for the best thought. Let my mind, my whole life energy be soaked in Divinity. That is it. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
