A woman came for a healing session who was of a very jolly nature and making jokes. She wanted to have my help for losing weight but actually she was not worrying about the weight of her body. She said that when she gained weight, her breasts got very big and now she has pain in the shoulders and in the back from the weight of her breasts. But I liked her happiness and how she takes things.
She started making jokes and said to me: “Swami Ji see, it is very difficult for me to find a bra of my size. One of my friends told me a joke: A bra company made an advertisement for five different bra sizes: Small, Medium, Large, Wow and Oh My god!” After this joke were laughing a long time. It was great fun. But I also gave her some advice.
Always when someone comes to me and wants help in losing weight I tell them that I can help to strengthen the willpower but the decision is not mine to make. Everyone has to take this decision and then have discipline to watch the own eating habits and to move the body. Nobody else can do this for you but if you have a strong will and the firm decision, you can make it!
She understood what I meant and asked me if it would help to reduce the size of her breasts, too. I assured her that if it increased when she gained weight, it will also reduce when she loses weight.
Smilingly she asked me if she was allowed to eat sweets. She was surprised when I told her that she could absolutely eat sweets. There is nothing wrong in that, you just need to stick to one rule: only eat sweets right after a proper meal. In India we have a saying and the translation would be: End with sweets. So you finish your food and in the end have sweets. Just not in between and during the whole day. I think she liked sweets very much. She smiled and was happy that she can eat sweets at least with food.

I think it is always good to have a sweet as a little treat or reward for yourself (if you like them). After a meal is a good rule so that you don't eat sweets all day. I have discovered, as with many addictions, an addiction to sweets is very hard to quit cold turkey. If you tell yourself you absolutely cannot have any, your mind will never leave it alone! But if you say, sure I can have sweets when the time is right... you won't obsess over the thought of it and when it comes time to enjoy the sweet, it is really a special thing! It's important to enjoy the little things in life, like dessert. But make sure it really is a special treat and not obsessive ritual.

Polygamous relationships don’t really work. If you are really in love with someone, you will be jealous, you won’t be able to avoid that! If you love your partner, it is impossible!
SourceIs spirituality something that you can learn, like mathematics or commerce? Don’t you think that being in love and living with honesty is true spirituality?
SourceIn Hinduism there is a word ‘Kanya Dan’, the donation of a girl from father to husband. Like a thing that can be passed on. In a wedding this ‘Kanya Dan’ is however the most important part of the marriage ceremony - and this is how religion degrades women.
SourceBookish knowledge only creates confusion
SourceThings turn out best if you do only one thing at a time. Only if you always put your full concentration on one action you can do everything with love. That is meditation.
SourceIt is the path of devotion and love when you can say to your God ‘Wherever I am, whoever I am, I am yours.’ Then you have surrendered yourself and offered yourself to God. For this you need closeness.
SourceIt is normal to have ‘negative’ emotions like anger, sadness or jealousy. Allow them, accept them and let them go. If you fight and struggle you will suffer more. Find a reason to be happy again
SourceWestern culture is not responsible for sex, alcohol and gambling problems in India!
SourceIf you think people should have only sex when they are going for a long-term relationship, then act like it and just don’t have sex with someone who is clear that he won’t marry you or have children with you. It is not fair to blame that person afterwards.
SourceHow will an 'untouchable' person feel if he realizes the moment that he touched you, you decided to take a shower to cleanse yourself again?
SourceReligious traditions let followers ignore their gurus' crimes!
SourceBelief and religion is a personal thing. Religious leaders of any religion, be that Hinduism, Islam, Christianity or any other religion, have no right to tell people what to believe.
SourceLet your children grow up without learning violence in video games. Teach them instead to play with each other, not against each other. Show them that a child of another nation and maybe with another language is just as valuable as they are themselves.
SourceAvoiding Sex won't help fixing Relationship Issues!
SourceYou cannot buy anybody’s love. If you want love, give love. The world of love is very different from this material world. Not even a millionaire can buy someone’s love. Maybe their body but not their love.
SourceNot any belief is good or bad, no person is good or bad and no place is good or bad. It is only your perception.
SourceThere are two kinds of animals: carnivores, like lions and tigers which eat meat and herbivores, like cows and horses which eat plants. Our whole body structure, our metabolism and our jaw are more similar to that of cows than of tigers. Our teeth are perfect for grinding grains and vegetables and not for tearing apart animal flesh.
SourceMeditation is a good way to discover your feelings and to come from head to heart.
SourceWays of worship like feeding a statue of God would be a big thing to laugh about, was it not a systematic plan of religion to keep you in a numb state of mind where you will not question an order even if it is complete nonsense. You are requested to switch off your mind and follow what you are being told.
SourceBelievers should study their belief. Find out in depth what is written in scriptures and if you find things you don’t like, ask yourself if you can really blindly accept them as religion asks you to.
