About the Book: Source of Life H. H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar-Become aware of this impermanent nature of life; that is wisdom. Being aware of this impermanent nature of ones life-the changing nature of happenings-you find that there is something in you that has not changed… There is a reference point, in comparison to which, you can say things are changing. Getting to that reference point is "being"… and that is the source of life; that is wisdom
