Keeping those who Died in the Heart - 19 Jun 09

There was another woman for a healing session yesterday. She also lost her husband only two months ago very suddenly. She is still somehow in shock about his death. Their love was very big and she was crying much during the healing session. To her and also to the woman who had so much fear, I said that you can keep your husband in your heart forever. You will always have good memories and think of him with love. But don’t get afraid of life because of this sudden death.

Another woman some time ago told me that her mother died three months ago and she goes to the cemetery each day. Not because anybody told her to or because she should do this but because it feels good for her. She said she needed this and in this way could tell her mother those things which she did not say while she was alive. It is nice to remember someone in this way and you need to have this. A beloved person will always be in your heart.

Today we travelled. We said goodbye to Sonja yesterday and to Marion and her family today in the morning. When we changed trains on our way to Hamburg, one person pretended to help us getting things into the train at the platform. But he took our camera bag and, without us noticing it, took it out of the train again and stole it. It was our camera and some other things in there, worth approximately 3000 Euro. When we asked the ticket checker what we should do now he said we should go to police and we should never trust people who help us. This sentence somehow got stuck in my mind. Then you will not even trust those who genuinely want to help you.

It is always good to have a special place or item that reminds you of someone you have lost. You can go there to pray and be in peace, or hold the item to your heart and think of your beloved. Anything you need to say, they can still hear it. And if you want to feel their presence, close your eyes and believe... their energy will be there with you.

In one life there are countless deaths. While things may seem to stay the same if you look closely there is constant movement and change. Several years ago I was traveling through India. I am sorry to have missed Shree Bindu Sewa Sansthan Ashram during my visit. A friend that I met along the way, told me a story about one small "death" she experienced, the loss of 2,000 rupees taken from her hotel room. It was a large sum of money for her. She was a student who had a low budget for her time here, enough to eat simply and travel to several cities where she had arranged cheap home stay accommodation. She had made a friend who had been in her room and as she turned her back to him, she saw from the corner of her eye, her friend snatch the money from her dresser. While bidding her friend farewell she took another 1,000 from her dresser and placed it in his hand. She wished him the best and told him that she hoped they keep in touch. Sophie tells me now that the two remain friends whom care for each other and continue to learn from each other. This story reminds me of your own. A great pleasure to read.

It is sad not to be able to trust people. For myself, I always tend to trust them anyway. I even feel like sometimes I get hurt less than others because I behave in a way that makes it obvious even to strangers that I respect them enough to trust them and a lot of people treat me differently because of that. Of course when someone misuses you and you have already decided not to trust anyone you can say "see! I knew I couldn't trust anyone." and it hurts less and you become angry. But life is more rewarding if you expect good things and you are someone who other people can trust as well.

Words of Wisdom

  • God

    Why do we need a tragedy to stop believing in God?

    Source
  • God

    I won’t have a problem with your god if he doesn’t take bribes from praying criminals and doesn’t encourage them by giving them success.

    Source
  • Happiness

    Filter the People in your Life and make them and yourself happy!

    Source
  • Silence

    Save your energy by not talking when it is not really necessary.

    Source
  • Gurus

    How can gurus who love the material, silver and gold, call themselves Paramahansa? A true Paramahansa is not interested in wealth.

    Source
  • Relationship

    In my relationship I want to give the command of my life and my heart to the one I love. Now you can guide me because I know you, I trust you, in your love, you will do best for me.

    Source
  • Gurus

    Why are so many Gurus and Swamis in India extremely rich while it is difficult for many normal persons to get a full stomach?

    Source
  • Feelings

    Let your feelings flow. It is so simple but can be very difficult. Society taught us to suppress our feelings and tears are seen as weak. Let it flow. When you are sad, please cry. When you are happy, please laugh. Be proud of your feelings and of who you are! Let them flow and open your heart to the love that is flowing between us all.

    Source
  • Rules

    I don’t like rules but I like discipline. It makes your will power strong.

    Source
  • Parenting

    You are not qualified to have a baby if you cannot give time and love to that little being.

    Source
  • Food

    Make one meal a day a meeting point, a ritual for the whole family together.

    Source
  • Religion

    You can turn Hinduism as you like, you can wish for whatever you want, heaven or liberation - it is flexible enough to grant you everything.

    Source
  • God

    If God is omnipotent, why can he not provide a non-violent solution? Why does he have to kill? Could he not, with one blink of the eye, make peace on earth?

    Source
  • Religion

    I heard Jesus is not usually an angry or short-tempered guy. He, too, believed in love instead of punishment.

    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
  • God

    Don’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.

    Source
  • Food

    Discipline is very important in our nutrition. Eat when you are hungry. Hunger can be in the eyes and in the mind, too, not only in your belly. Learn to distinguish that.

    Source
  • Victim

    Being a victim is not a cure. It can be a tendency of behaviour and you have to be brave and leave it. You need to have the strength to step out of the role of being a victim.

    Source
  • Ego

    People often make things more complicated than they are so that they can satisfy their ego by managing something difficult. If you want, you can do that and make everything difficult. Or you can leave your ego and just do it the easy way.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    If you follow outdated scriptures, you would have to kill a ridiculous amount of people in our daily lives, most of the population would have a ‘painful doom’ and women would behave and be treated very wrong. It just does not fit anymore.
