Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:  You have already come out of it! When you want to come out of it, it is already gone, it's already done! Isn't it?  Main thing is to relate yourself to the universe, to the Divinity. If you have a relationship with the Divine, you have a relationship with everyone.

[ When Sita (mind), gets attracted by the Deer (sense objects), it comes under the clutches of Ravan (the ego) and goes away from Rama (the Self); then with the help of Laxman (awareness) and Hanuman (the breath), it is freed from Ravan (the ego) and united with Rama (the Self). ] Is your Sita with your Rama? :-) Love n Jai Gurudev
