I talked about the situation in western hospitals in the last days. I remember a situation which I want to tell you about. I knew a woman in Bombay who was maybe 70 years old. She always gave me love like a grand-mother and I loved and respected her in this way. It was not a blood relation but a relation of love.
The doctors found out that she had uterus cancer and declared that she would only have a few weeks more to live. I was giving her healings and she survived three more years and did not have pain. But of course the cancer was there and then, in August 1997, the time came when she got very sick. We took her to the hospital and for five days she had to stay there. After these five days the doctors told us that there was no hope and that she would leave her body anytime. They said we should take her home so that she could go in peace and in familiar surroundings with the people who love her. I also said maybe she would not enjoy this important event of life in hospital.
Then we took her home and five days later in the afternoon the whole family was around. She had said goodbye to everybody and she was lying in my lap. She looked into my eyes, smiled and left her body.

This is very beautiful. Dying at home with your family would be so much more peaceful than in a hospital with machines and sounds all around. In a way, knowing that you are going to die can bring peace to your family because they feel like they really got a chance to say their goodbyes and enjoy their last moments with you.

I don't want to die at home, I want to die at sea or on a spaceship or something.

Wow. Reading the ways you write about death make it seem so much less scary. Thank you for sharing this story.

People 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!
SourceWhen you have a physical relation with someone, it brings an emotional connection and an emotional relation requires physical closeness.
SourceBeing spiritual cannot mean denying your sexuality and becoming celibate. Accept your sexuality in a spiritual way. Sexuality, driven by love, can be only spiritual, nothing else. God created us how we are and with sexuality being a part of us. Do not neglect that.
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?
SourceHuman always wants to believe what is suitable and comfortable for them. It is easier to follow the scriptures blindly without looking left or right than trying to deal with difficult issues.
SourceDon’t seek God in religious icons or figures. God is love and lives in our heart. If you, in a prayer or mantra, mention the name Jesus, Ram or also Hanuman, it doesn’t mean that you specify a religion you are praying to. You have God in your heart, no matter which name you say with your tongue.
SourceWhy do we need to pretend to be who we are not?
SourceIf you did a mistake, the first part of the solution is already that you realize it and then accept it. Don't try to find an excuse but turn around and walk the other way. Simply, honestly accept that you made a mistake and for the future commit to live an honest life which doesn’t cause pain for others and later for yourself.
SourceIf you feel you don't have love, you maybe only have lost your connection. If you did not have love, you would not be longing for love. This is the proof that you have love. You only need to reconnect with your feelings.
SourceDo not make yourself unhappy by comparing too much!
SourceWhen women wear a lot of make-up like a mask, it hides their originality and who they really are. Maybe they want to entertain themselves by being someone else for a day. But for how long can you entertain yourself in this way without losing who you are?
SourceFighting your ego - a continuous struggle with yourself?
SourceNever feel like a sinner. God does not punish you, he loves you.
SourceWouldn’t it be beautiful if we did not lose the value of feelings in the translation into speech? If there was a way how we can express the whole value of the feeling?
SourceThere are many religions and sects in which the leaders and gurus are those who communicate to god for the other ‘normal people’. You can have this relation to God yourself!
SourceEnlightenment is being in love.
SourceDon’t do what you don’t want your children to do. They learn what they hear and follow what they see. Love your child. Give clear signs what is good and what is not.
SourceReal healing power is in each of you yourself. The right time, the right company, a loving touch, a hug and sharing words and emotions with the right person can help your healing process
SourceBleach your face with ‘fair and lovely’ cream, get slim and tall with pills, make your vagina fair and tight – it is not this what makes you a beautiful woman!
SourceIt is stupid to try and make others believe what you believe. Never try to change anybody’s belief.
