Donating Food for Poor Children on your Wedding Anniversary - 16 Jun 09

Food for a day

Today is a special day for our friends Angie and Dan in Canada. They celebrate their 8th wedding anniversary and on this occasion they sponsored the food in the Ashram. I send them many blessings for their love! I wish it grows and gets stronger and stronger. Enjoy being in love!

Purnendu sent me the pictures and when I saw the pictures how the children are eating, I felt that this is really a great way to celebrate your love. You can give your love to others, especially when it is in the form of food. I wrote already that the children have summer holidays now but they also like to come to the Ashram only for food, not for lessons.

We were thinking of the food at the Ashram today while we were preparing food here. We made really nice food and had a great dinner.

Words of Wisdom

  • Religion

    Religion wants you to be and remain a victim. All kinds of suppression and exploitation works best when there is fear of some kind. Religion comes from fear and wants to keep you in fear.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Do what you feel is right. That will make you happy.

    Source
  • Relationship

    Physical closeness is the key for successful relationships.

    Source
  • Sex

    If you work with sex, do it, but don't call a sex workshop a Tantra workshop!

    Source
  • Body

    What is special in any part of the body? Everybody has the same body parts. You do not need to do extra effort for hiding anything and not for exhibiting, either. Why can’t we just be normal and natural?

    Source
  • Relationship

    Anger, ego and other emotions sometimes create aggression but think how far you want to let these emotions take you. Who knows, maybe time changes and a bitter relation changes again for the better. Bitter and better is only one letter apart from each other.

    Source
  • Happiness

    People in India have something to give to the traveller. They can show you how to make the best of what you have. To be satisfied. To be happy. Not to compare yourself with everyone else and feel bad about it. To realize how rich you really are, not only materially but emotionally, in your heart. You learn to value the small things again and you find back to an inner happiness that cannot be shaken easily anymore.

    Source
  • Religion

    In a certain Hindu celebration, believers worship the goddess and that is only seen in small girls before they have started menstruation. The menstruation thus degrades her from being the goddess to someone similar to an outcast.

    Source
  • Belief

    Don’t sell something you don’t believe in just to make business. Don't become dishonest with your belief.

    Source
  • Gurus

    I will be happy to feel myself always as being a good student. But I see here many times that this desire of being a master comes. People want to be in charge. They want to be a master and it actually is their unfulfilled wish that shows in this way.

    Source
  • Sharing

    Sharing has a double effect: it decreases sadness and increases happiness!

    Source
  • Belief

    Atheists don’t feel guilty for things that they have not done and which was not under their control but accept consequences of their own actions and wrong decisions.

    Source
  • Religion

    I always believe that anything that causes fear and makes people worried and afraid is not right. You should give people trust, faith, love and compassion.

    Source
  • Fear

    Fear is an illusion and it spoils your life. If you are afraid, you cannot enjoy. You are fine and you are able to cope with the situations that life brings you. Have trust in whatever is out there in this universe. The whole world is there for you, not against you. Let your fear go. Live.

    Source
  • Friend

    Different cultural background or lack of common interests do not make friendship impossible!

    Source
  • Religion

    We dont need more temples in India, we need more toilets!

    Source
  • Ego

    Both, good and bad Karma binds you. Offer whatever you do. In this way you will be safe of the disappointment that comes with a bad result and safe of the ego of having achieved a good result.

    Source
  • Religion

    I love the flexibility of religious belief! You can say any nonsense you like and you will definitely find religious arguments for it, proving your point.

    Source
  • God

    It is difficult to believe in a God who sits in heaven, whom you cannot see, who doesn’t talk to you, whom you cannot touch, who is adorned with silver and gold in the temples and decorated with flowers, who sometimes gets stolen by thieves, which he cannot do anything about. If he cannot protect himself, how would he protect you?

    Source
  • Happiness

    Stop comparing yourself to others and be happy!
