What is Yogashema

Q: Guruji what is Yogakshema?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Yog means to get. And kshema means to preserve what you got. Kshema means to save. We say, He had a yog to get fame. That is not enough. You need to get the Kshema to save it, to keep it up. That is Kshema. Do you see what I am saying? For example you have the yog to get a house, to buy a car. When you got it, to keep it up is your Kshema. To save or to maintain well what you have got by Yog is Kshema. Krishna says, 'The one who is always thinking about me, I'll take care of both his yog, and kshema'. He says, 'The one who has nothing but me in their mind are sure to have both the Yog and Kshem from me. Such a man whose focus is only on me and me alone, I take care.' But one who is neither here nor there; who does little bit of spiritual shopping here and there, Krishna says, then you take care of your self!
