Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on Wonder

Page 105 of New Age Wisdom…From Ancient Knowledge:

Wonder

 

All our problems exist because of the curved question mark. It is like a hook that keeps us attached to everything in life. And the most common and disturbing question we can ask ourselves is: 'Why me?'… And Guruji tells us to convert the question into a 'wonder'. Joy in life is by being amazed by the miracles of every moment. Enjoy the process of living, rather than questioning. Questioning is attachment, leading to bondage; Wonder is detachment, leading to freedom.

 

Page 106:

 

"Wonder is a question for which you are not looking for an answer."

 

"A sense of astonishment brings wakefulness, a miracle shocks you; shock is the wakefulness. And when we are awaken[ed] we see the whole creation is full of miracles. The entire creation is to be astounded, astonished[,] to be wondered upon; because it is all the displays of one consciousness."
