Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on feeling more love and compassion

How can we practice more love? How can we feel that energy within us more?

Now tell me, why do you have to feel it?

Because it feels good.

Why should you feel good all the time?

That's a good question.

Yeah. No emotion, no feelings can be created or forced upon. If you do it, it will be artificial. What you need is to work on yourself. Clarity in mind, purity in heart. How would that come? When you have very little needs, you have clarity. Your list of needs. If it grows on and on and on, you'll be less and less loving and less and less compassionate. See, when a lit candle doesn't need to do something to push its light all the way throughout, the fact that it is lit is good enough. The rays are anyway going out.
