I said yesterday: We attract what we have and this is also what we spread. If you are happy or sad, if you are jealous or angry, whatever feeling you have, you will be very sensitive towards this kind of feeling also if others have it. This is why you are also attracting it. A happy person will find himself surrounded by a very happy atmosphere. In the same way it is obvious that you spread what you have. You can only give what you have. You cannot give anything that you do not have. If you want to give money and make someone rich, you have to be rich in the first place. If you don't have food to feed yourself how can you fill someone else's stomach? If you do not have any clothes how could you give them to someone else? So if you are not happy how can you make someone else happy? You need to have what you want to give. If you want to give love you must have love first.
I want to give an example of how we spread what we have: Suppose, a man is very sad about something but he doesn't want his family to know that. He doesn't want to make his wife and children sad. So he doesn't tell the reason for his sadness to anyone and tries to hide his sadness. But it doesn't work. When he is living there and he is sad it cannot be that his family is not affected by his sadness. This man cannot give happiness. He may try but if he only has sadness, if there is no happiness, he will not succeed. The atoms that are coming out with the breath are full of sad energy and whoever is there breathes the sadness in. In this way we are spreading our mood, our energy. We are sensitive also towards other people's moods but this I will talk about tomorrow.

So true... all thoughts and feelings are energy. We create them and put them into the universe. And people can sense what we are putting out. It is likely that, if you are happy, you will not enjoy the energy of someone who is sad or angry. You will probably seek other people who are happy also. So decide carefully what you choose to put into the universe!

I have been hearing a lot just in the last few days about the infectiousness of emotions. it certainly is an interesting and important thought.

I have heard this for a long time and also not believed it for a long time. The principle of being happy to attract more happiness, or attracting what you put out in general. But it is so very true! And it's also a good thing to stay conscious of, even after you first learn it to make sure you keep yourself in check with output and input. thanks Swami ji!

People have been inspired by religion to do extremely good deeds – but in the same way others have been inspired to do extremely bad things, too. The problem is the manipulation by religion and the lack of responsibility of the believers.
SourceBeauty is not about physical appearance. We are not only the body, there is a soul and a beautiful soul is much more important than figure, colour or shape.
SourceSpirituality is very individual, not institutional. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church, you are spiritual, if you believe in love.
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.
SourceA mistake is something that you learn from. Everybody makes mistakes and it doesn’t make sense to walk through life with this guilt until you leave the earth. Do your best to say sorry, to repair what is broken or to change the way if you made a wrong decision. However don’t carry it around after that otherwise you will be a prisoner of this guilt. Be free.
SourceReligion often has the effect of poison: it kills people, it separates them, it creates hate among them. Human is made by god and religion is made by man. God did not create people with different religions, he made us all the same.
SourceBlaming western culture for India's problems won't prevent sexual crimes!
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.
SourceThe idea of sex with the guru is fascinating - it is sex in a spiritual wrapper.
SourceWe all are human, not god, so we do mistakes. Accept your mistake and leave your ego, then you won't feel guilty. Guilt is created when you do not accept your mistake because of your ego. Don't make yourself feel guilty for making mistakes.
SourceYou should not trust god completely because if you do, you will die, waiting for him to come and help you! Fool god, tell him that you believe in him and have full faith while you would never actually trust him that much!
SourceThe school is the place where you learn how to learn.
SourceForgiveness is the biggest jewel of human life. Everybody needs to have this in their heart, otherwise you burn yourself on the fire of your anger. You need to go through your emotions, but then forgive without hurting the other one. Don't keep that in your heart. Learn to forgive.
SourceYou are not done once you have felt you found yourself. This is you today but who will you be tomorrow?
SourceOne of the most dangerous aspects of modern spirituality is that everybody can just invent anything and sell it as the truth, even if it is impossible and unrealistic.
SourceSects create fear. Fear of life, fear of sins, fear of god. Believe in love, not in fear. There is no reason to be afraid. Love is God and God is love
SourceEverybody is a healer because everybody has the love inside himself to heal. We all are unique but we all are one.
SourceYour body is not the reason for a man's cheating. If he loved you before, why should this change only because your looks changed?
SourceI cannot understand how anybody or any religion can see woman as second-rate. A woman brings you to this earth, how can she be less worth? Without her, how could you exist?
SourceIt is the path of devotion and love when you can say to your God ‘Wherever I am, whoever I am, I am yours.’ Then you have surrendered yourself and offered yourself to God. For this you need closeness.
