Category: Emotions
Today we had a Darshan and after the meditation a young woman came to me and asked me: How can I stop my jealousy? I answered: You don’t have to. Don’t try to stop it. If you try to suppress it, you will be aware that it is still there and it will annoy you more and more. So do not suppress it but accept it. Live it. It doesn’t mean that you should go and tell everybody that you are jealous. However if you know you are jealous and you accept it, it will more easily stop. You will see, after a while of being jealous, it is over.
The healing energy makes it possible for people to be natural, to live their feelings. We had a wonderful atmosphere in the Darshan when everyone opened the heart and let the emotions flow. This also meant that several people were crying those tears that they had held back for a long time. And one woman who had a healing session today could not stop laughing. She was laughing loudly and during the whole session. She had healing sessions before but afterwards she said that somehow it had been special today and she felt so free and the laugh just came.
I like to see how the energy frees the emotions that normally are blocked. We live in this artificial world where everybody tries to be different than he naturally is. By culture and society we are taught that we should not be ourselves. No, be yourself, there is nothing to be ashamed or even feel guilty about. Be yourself and express your emotions. In this way everybody can contribute to a real world and an honest society.

Sometimes it's good to talk through your emotions with yourself, really bringing them to the surface. Explore all aspects of your feelings and why you feel them. Acknowledge them and thank them for helping you be human. Often we find that, after talking through an emotion, you discover that it really isn't that big of a deal after all and it doesn't control your life!

Don't stop it- resolve it. This is the only way to beat the green monster.

‘Sadhu’ or ‘Sanyasi’ means detached. Today's Sadhu ridiculously contradicts his title with his display of gold and wealth!
SourceYou will never get love by begging. You only get love when you give love. Open yourself, find love inside you and spread it.
SourceReligion and spirituality don’t need a Guru. It is the way that you go and what you accept in life, it is nothing to learn, it is just implementing your honesty into life. It is love and you don’t need to learn love. If you are in love and you are honest, you are already spiritual.
SourceThe engineers and architects of erotic sculptures in temples all over India had not come from the west, they were Indians! So don't blame the west for being sexually explicit - it is a part of ancient Indian culture, too!
SourceYou can trust people only when you know them and you can only get to know them if they show what they feel. So make a start and show what you feel.
SourceI don't judge believers but those who play with the belief of others.
SourceGanesha and Spiderman - in a child's mind two equal superheroes!
SourceYou cannot buy anybody’s love. If you want love, give love. The world of love is very different from this material world. Not even a millionaire can buy someone’s love. Maybe their body but not their love.
SourceEveryone who really loves you wants you to be happy and strong and stable in your happiness. It is difficult to have stable happiness if you cannot have a stable opinion because all the time you actually worry in which direction you have to change your opinion now!
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.
SourceGive your child your love over your touch. You create a deep trust in this baby that you will be there whatever happens.
SourceIf our attitude is positive, it can change everything including our way of living. If we say ‘yes’ to life, to love, to laughing, enjoying and having fun, we can change our lives.
SourceFlexibility is Hinduism's biggest quality and its biggest drawback!
SourceNo matter which Guru a follower believes, he will say his guru is the only real one, the others are all fake. They realize it is nonsense what all others say, just their own guru is allegedly able to do everything he claims.
Source‘You should not judge’ is often used by masters and Gurus to keep their disciples and followers from questioning what they are doing.
SourceIt is impossible to be ‘religious but not superstitious’ because religious scriptures are full of superstition. You cannot separate superstition from religion, its origin. It as a positive sign though, if you think this much - you have taken the first step!
SourceWe should not say doing Yoga, but being in Yoga. When your soul wants to connect and unite with its source.
SourceWhen shopping becomes an addiction like gambling, when your house gets more and more full, when you walk in the city and realize that you already have everything in those shops full of useless things, it is time to rethink on what you spend your money.
SourceEverybody modifies religion to his comfort, gives his interpretation, creates his own tradition and opens his shop for selling god and religion.
SourceIndia still has not been able to abolish the caste system. Its root is religion and this is why, due to religion, there are still people who are considered untouchable by others.
