In my Darshan today I was talking about our perception of beauty. Very often people who come for healing tell me that they do not like themselves, don't like their own body. It is obvious that this is not very helpful for their self-esteem. How come that they don't like themselves? The society, media, TV and advertisements give us an idea what beauty should look like. This gives you your parameter of beauty. And if your body looks like that, you consider yourself beautiful. If not, which is the majority of people, you do not like yourself. Once I said to one of my clients to stand in front of a mirror and see the beauty in himself. It is like we are looking through coloured sunglasses. If they are red you will see everything in red, if they are green the whole world will be green. Please take off the glasses and look at the real beauty that is in you. You are also His creation. You are beautiful! There is so much beauty in this world which we do not see because we are using the wrong parameter. love yourself!
We had guests for dinner. I love eating with a few more people, not alone. I remember the time when I was traveling through Europe for the first time. I was traveling alone and I didn't have many friends in Europe yet so I would have been alone for dinner. But as I don't like to be alone for cooking and eating I just always asked my last client if he or she liked to stay for dinner. Like this I enjoyed dinner, got to know some of my friends and had a bigger number of dinner guests each day.

Be it the color of your eyes, your weight, your hair, your nose or anything else....There is no unique parameter, which can say what is beautiful and what's ugly. Every person has some kind of beauty, it's up to us to recognize that. Beauty isn't always what you see, but what you feel. Tons of make up won't help, if your inner is full of negative energy.

Sometimes I look at myself and I think of a long list of things that are wrong with me. a few hours later, I look at myself, and I see beauty. All in one day I see so many things. I know it isn't dependent on what's there, it is dependent on how I translate what's there into my mind. and what I value in myself and others is up to me.

It's funny That people can at least distantly agree that beauty is perspective based, but really almost everything is.

Samwell- as I read your post and swami Ji's, I got the vision of an angry man walking down the street with fifteen pairs of sunglasses all crammed on his head at once. It made me laugh, it's important to keep your filters in check.

We certainly do view the world through many different filters. Even in areas that have nothing to do with beauty, there is a filter that will show us anger in everything, a filter that makes the world look sad or unfair. A filter that keeps us feeling ugly or worthless, or even from seeing worth in others. Filters separate us from each other, they make the gaps between different people even more vast and they keep the world a cruel place. In a life when perspective is 99% of how we experience the world or reality, why not try to remove a few filters?

Yoga and Meditation help you lose Weight
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.
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if he says to his devotees ‘Please follow your religion and devotion at your home, not on the road.’
SourceAs a person who does not believe in superstition, one sometimes has a difficult time convincing others that their belief is nonsense. You can try and put up the most scientific arguments but a really superstitious person will still not believe you. Nevertheless I believe that superstitions, just like religious belief in general, is in decline.
SourceYour wishes create God.
SourceIf you don’t have hopes, dreams and expectations you won’t be happy. Dream, hope, let your imagination fly and simultaneously use your brain, hands and feet in order to make your dreams become reality!
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.
SourceNow you are an adult and you can take your own responsibility in your hands, even if you feel your parents were overprotective. Leave this past behind. This world is not evil and not that dangerous at all. It is there to enjoy.
SourceWe are one world and all are humans, not divided by race, colour, language, culture or religion. Keep in mind that we all are human.
SourceYou cannot convert to Hinduism without disregarding a basic Hindu concept.
SourceForgive another one and give him a possibility to learn and to improve.
SourceLet your ego dissolve in love. Do not show with ego how much you did for the other person not while doing and not after having done.
SourceAddiction is mainly a question of the mind. People can spend half a day on a flight without any cigarette but on the ground they cannot survive an evening without smoking. If you can spend half a day without it, it is also possible a full day, a week, a month, a year or the rest of your life. It is a question of the mind and the determination.
SourceDon’t be shy to show a little gesture if you think it will make someone happy.
SourceSuperstitious people lose a big part of their freedom! They cannot take any decision on their own but have kept their minds a prison of their superstition! They have sold their intelligence to this nonsense! They could be so much happier in their lives without superstition!
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
SourceThe energy that you have while cooking also goes into the food that you are preparing. Please do not cook when you are angry. Cook when you are in good mood or make your mood good before you start cooking.
SourceThere is no plan and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. We can take our decisions and have to take our responsibility for the consequences. Nobody knows before what will happen if you go one way or the other.
SourceYou did not tell your partner that you are cheating but you are trying to tell yourself that he or she would be fine with that. Anytime you do that, whenever you cheat your partner, you actually first cheat yourself with this lie.
SourceYou cannot love, have sex with different people and not be jealous all at the same time!
