Category: Emotions
Today one of our friends who is staying here said that on the way back from Mathura he suddenly felt so happy, from the inside and just feeling that everything is great. We talked a bit about this experience and I said that you actually have the ability to make this decision every second.
You can decide yourself if you want to be happy or sad. You don’t even need to have a reason for any of these emotions. You are the one who decides to be angry, to be annoyed or to be sad. Some people decide to be in hate. But it is always you.
Unfortunately I see especially in the west very often that people make the situation responsible or another person. Then you did everything great and from your side everything was fine but because of someone else you are now angry. No, you took this decision yourself! Take your decision to be happy. It is also you who will have the profit of it. If you are annoyed, sad or angry even if there is not any reason, you need to realize that it is you who will suffer from it.
Others might not be happy that you are not happy but in the end it is you who has to be in this feeling. Don’t let it become a habit to decide for being unhappy. Let it be a habit to decide for happiness, for laughter and for love!

Cool photo! I have a dear friend who is very spiritual. She taught me about "pumping your joy" or "pumping your love." You envision and feel love and joy in your heart. Let it gather into a bright light and really feel those feelings inside. Then imagine that your heart is pumping tiny little lights of joy and love throughout your circulatory system. Watch the little love lights travel all the way through your system with joy until you are filled with loving energy. It really helps when you believe in it!

Religion uses subtle manipulation to make you crazy.
SourceAccept your feelings, accept yourself. Only if you accept yourself you can respect yourself. Be proud of who you are and what you have inside! Each of these steps is important because only if you respect yourself you can love yourself. And only with this love to yourself you can give love to others and receive love from others. Then you are open for this universal love. Accept yourself, respect yourself and love yourself!
SourceIf you follow outdated scriptures, you would have to kill a ridiculous amount of people in our daily lives, most of the population would have a ‘painful doom’ and women would behave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.
SourceIn both, Hinduism and Islam, one can find proof that men are allowed and even advised to beat their wives – if they don’t obey or if they don’t want to have sex.
SourceEverybody is spiritual in his own way. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church or are not sure about god, you are spiritual if you believe in love.
SourcePlease don't live with a different identity. The creation is wonderful as it is, accept that. If you do not accept god's creation you do not accept your own soul. Stop fighting against your true self! Self-confidence can only come after self-acceptance.
SourceThe importance of religion is getting less and less.
SourceLearning is not only for children. Life can always teach you something, your age doesn’t matter. It is wonderful to be curious for something new, something you have not experienced yet.
SourceSometimes the outcome is simply not in our control, so stop thinking about what could have happened if you had taken another decision.
SourceIf you have a continued physical relation, the emotional relation will naturally develop by itself.
SourceThe main factors for a good relationship are that you are physically close and devoted without any ego. If this devotion is not there, they will be far from each other even if they are physically close, sleeping and living in the same room. Then they cannot understand each other and in these cases relationships sometimes break even after a very long time.
SourceThe coming generation will not forgive and forget violence in their childhood. If you hit your children, they will not keep a loving relationship with you, so don’t even start it!
SourceScare your fear away by being alive.
SourceA bath in the Ganges will wash away your sins -how practical! No matter how many sins you do, just go and wash them all off!
SourceThere are places in this world where women are beaten because religion tells their husbands and fathers that woman have to be disciplined if they are not obedient. Is religion really something you want to believe in?
SourceFeeling Guilty for others won't help them
SourceI won’t have a problem with your god if people stop giving false comfort to others using his name.
SourceThe average religious person of the middle-class would be so much happier if he left religion and superstition and lived his life without it!
SourceDo not make yourself unhappy by comparing too much!
SourcePeople often lie because they don’t know their feelings and try to please everyone. Be aware of what you feel and what you say and only tell the truth!
