Be devoid of feverishness. Feverishness is what destroys the knowledge in you. It clouds your awareness, consciousness and joy.
You had an experience and now you want to have that experience repeatedly. That feverishness itself becomes an obstruction. What makes you intolerable in the world is feverishness.
If you sit for a few minutes with someone who is feverish for something, you begin to feel an aversion. Many times you feel an aversion for people without knowing the reason. It is the feverishness in them that pushes you away, pushes you out.
When you are devoid of feverishness, all things flow to you without your asking for them. Before the need arises, all is supplied. This is the secret. 'Vijvarō bhava.' If any blessing has to be given, this is the one that has to be given – May you be devoid of feverishness.
- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
