Today was Suann’s last day at the Ashram and tomorrow Angie will also leave so today they did all the things that they wanted to do before they leave. They also visited the school again and Angie, who sponsors one of the children of our school, also wanted to take pictures on which her sponsored child can be seen. She was following what I wrote in the diary in the last days and said: ‘Symbolically I am sponsoring this one girl but I know that every child is supported.’ And so Ramona went to school with her and Angie went into each class, said hello to the children and then Ramona took a picture of her and the whole class.
In each picture you can see how 10, 20 or more children stand or sit around her or, in case of our smallest ones, even on her lap. Now she has many nice pictures of all children and she also knows which one of them is the one whom she supports. We also took pictures of each class and are planning to hang them into the classrooms. We had this idea because the children love it if someone takes a picture of them but they hardly ever get to see the pictures that our visitors take. And with these class pictures they will have a lot of joy.
Today's food was sponsored by a nice lady from Canada. We send lots of love for her birthday!

Respect your food. Your stomach is not a garbage box. You are doing something important when you are eating.
SourceWe all should be more open towards others and take life easy.
SourceReligion allows you to use your intelligence but only in a very limited way. You can never question the religion itself.
SourceDon't stop expecting - but learn from disappointments!
SourceDon’t fight after breaking up! The other one is someone whom you once loved!
SourcePeople say scriptures cannot be changed. Okay, but then why do you need to follow them?
SourceThe key for a loving, successful relationship: reduce your ego!
SourceIt is wrong if a guru is not only a person to learn from but someone to worship. When people put pictures of the guru onto their altars and pray for them, when followers wash the feet of the guru and then drink the water, when gurus have their statues made and sell them and when scriptures tell people that they can only be liberated if they have a guru.
SourceI don’t tell you what you should believe or that you should follow me. I am just a normal person like you and everyone else whose thinking is influenced by his surrounding and the events happening around him.
SourceOfficially, all Indians are virgins when they marry.
SourceAccept your feelings, accept yourself. Only if you accept yourself you can respect yourself. Be proud of who you are and what you have inside! Each of these steps is important because only if you respect yourself you can love yourself. And only with this love to yourself you can give love to others and receive love from others. Then you are open for this universal love. Accept yourself, respect yourself and love yourself!
SourceI believe the concept of open relationships is against human nature. If you continue your sexual relationship for a longer time, you will develop feelings and that is the point where jealousy can happen, too! If you love someone, if you feel for someone and this person sleeps with someone else, it is natural that you get jealous!
SourceIsn’t it cruel to show a person that you won’t even touch his arm just because he was born into an untouchable family?
SourceScriptures were written by men, in a male-dominated society, when war, killing and fighting was a daily occurrence, when people were tortured, women were beaten and slaves were being held. You cannot call that holy.
SourceThere is proof in the scriptures that shows that the caste system is deeply based in Hinduism. We need to change this religious belief in order to stop the caste system.
SourcePeople often say and do things that they don’t believe in. How long can you play such a drama? You have to live in your original consciousness.
SourceIsn’t it strange that it is offending if a normal person shows his genitals in public while religious men get worldwide fame for it?
SourceEvery child is same and when you have this wish to give love to children, you should share your love with every child, no matter if it is yours or the child of someone else.
SourcePeople often have different faces, for work, for home, for friends and so on. That makes it difficult for you and others to understand you. Just be who you are!
SourceYou cannot tell someone to love but you can be proud of your own love. Love your feelings, love and celebrate your love. You have to love yourself and be proud of the love that you can give to others. Never stop loving yourself in this frustration. At the right time you will meet the right person, there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to try stopping your love. Don’t create any guilt. Your love is great.
