14 Nov 2009 Vrindavan, India
Category: Children
Today is the 14th November, a national holiday in India. It is the birthday of our first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and as he loved children very much, it is also called children’s day. In Vrindavan there are celebrations on this day each year and especially children fairs with carousels and food that children like. I remember that in my childhood my school organized a fair each year and we were also making and selling food or had a project that we presented. And today the same school still organizes a yearly fair on this day.
This year our children were invited there and at the same time to another fair for a dance performance. So a group of children and teachers went to one fair and another one to the other. We are very proud of our children and their dancing. One of the girls received 50 Rupees from someone who liked her dance so that she could enjoy the fair very much and the other group all got lunchboxes as presents for their beautiful performance.
It is wonderful, they are so happy and proud and it just makes their teachers and us all also happy. A child’s smile is something very precious and it makes your heart fill with love and happiness.

In the US we have Mother's day and Father's day to celebrate parents. I have often heard children ask "when is children's day?" to which the response is inevitably "every day is children's day." But I think it is a good thing that you have a festival like this for children. It's a very good thing.

You are the best expert for your children!
SourceDon't buy in shops where you see children working. Ask the shop owner, get him to think about it and let him know you don’t buy there because of the child he has employed.
SourceEverybody’s situation is very individual. If I tell you that it is always good to be honest, it is your responsibility how to use this suggestion. If you decide to be honest, unnecessarily tell your boss that you don’t like him and get fired, I would not think that I was responsible for that!
SourceSilence is very necessary. It is a jewel of life. Most of our energy is consumed by talking. Be silent and save it.
SourceNo culture or country is perfect - don't feel offended by criticism!
SourceThe explanation of why healing works is not important. Important is your experience.
SourceFor many people the happiness of others is a bigger reason to be sad than their own problems.
SourceIf you always only think of the happiness of others, you forget your own happiness. When you have established your own happiness with what you do and with who you are, when you accept your heart, your personality and your own life, then you can help others to find their happiness.
SourceNever give up and never lose hope. You can always make a change.
SourceExperiences are for experiencing, not for speaking about them.
SourceLove should always be unconditional. If there is any condition, it is not really love. If someone leaves because of a condition you don't fulfil, you do not have to feel guilty or have an inferiority complex. Those who really love you, love you how you are, not because of something or a certain quality.
SourceDo you think of meditation as a competition? Whoever can sit in meditation the longest is the winner! That person is closer to enlightenment than all others or has even already reached enlightenment! Those who cannot sit still for even half an hour are beginners, losers, materialists and very non-spiritual people!
SourceEverybody is a healer because everybody has the love inside himself to heal. We all are unique but we all are one.
SourceOur negativity lives on our back. It is difficult for us to see but we need to explore it. We can easily see the back of another person. Work on seeing and reducing your own negativity.
SourceIf you experience fear, it doesn’t make me afraid. If you eat something, it does not fill my stomach. In the same way, I don’t believe in God just because you do!
SourceFollow your teachings yourself. Your teaching only has power if you live it yourself with your honesty. A smoker cannot give a lecture about the harm of smoking.
SourceSometimes the outcome is simply not in our control, so stop thinking about what could have happened if you had taken another decision.
SourceWe all have to be like children. We need to find our inner child which is innocent and has the freedom to express.
SourceDon’t bring business talk everywhere. Stop it, at the latest when you go into the bedroom. No business is allowed there anymore, just love and the relationship of you and your partner.
SourceIf you generously spend money for your happiness, donate something for the happiness of others, too! Don’t only give your blessings but actually make a difference! Wealth requires Sensitivity!
