Q.40: I loved your tweet about spontaneity and impulsiveness. Could you also talk about righteousness and 'rightness'? | Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

"Often one confuses spontaneity with impulsiveness. While the former is the secret to success, the latter has only caused disasters. Spontaneity arises out of clarity, intuition & response, impulsiveness is only emotions & reactions.The way to change is meditation."

Gurudev ‪‎Sri Sri Ravi Shankar‬: Righteousness is associated with strong perception. When you believe in your perception, then you feel righteous. What you consider 'right' is only a perception. When you realize this, you see another dimension because the perceptions keep changing. ‬

A particular situation can be considered right from one perception, and wrong from the other perception. This is where the conflict begins because to you something is correct and to the other person, it's not right. So it is very interesting to see that when you have an open mind, you perception changes. When your perception changes, your fixed notions change. Then you have an altogether different scenario.

Every time you are angry, know that it is because of righteousness. People who feel that they are righteous, they have tremendous temper and less patience. In a mature mind, when you have become more wise; of course you are righteous, but you go beyond righteousness. When you go beyond righteousness, you see everything in a different light altogether. Ascertaining righteousness, I would say is a weakness. Being righteous is good, but when you ascertain it, I would say there is a weakness somewhere.
