Today we had a beautiful Darshan in the evening. Of course the topic of hiding and expressing was in my mind and I talked again about an open expression of your thoughts and your emotions. You need to be able to express what you feel.
You should express your love, too. Love is nothing to show off but it is still something to show to the one you love. It is not nice to show off love but it is nice if someone shows you his love. Isn’t it beautiful to say or be told ‘I love you’? This is the highest words that we humans have for expressing love but how much is really in these words? That is why I believe that words cannot really express emotions.
Even if you express your emotions, it can sometimes happen that the other one doesn’t understand you. You want to express what you feel in your heart and you put it into words however the other person understands a fully different thing.
I believe words cannot be enough to express your emotions. Words always have a limit, no matter in which language. There are languages with only some words and others with a lot of vocabulary for emotions but they will never be really able to express the full extent of your emotions.
Because words have limits. Love and Emotions are endless. What is in your heart is eternal.
At the end of the Darshan I openly expressed that I am hungry, will have some salad and then want to have some ice-cream. And just very spontaneously nearly everybody stayed, had some fruit, salad or food with us and then we went to have a great ice-cream from this wonderful ice-cream parlour in Bocholt.

There is a saying that actions speak louder than words. And it's true. Even if you tell someone that you love them... you could prove it or disprove it by the way you treat that person. So if you do love someone... show it in all ways, every day! Still say it too. :)

People should be loving. Have an attitude of love, you can tell when you come across people who have the capacity to love others. It is powerful.

We are free and love can only grow in freedom. The existence is not good or bad, we have the freedom to do, what we want. Like a paintor starting a picture, looking to a white paper. When I create my life, then I create a lovefull "picture", because it feels better. This is the only way to meet others and touch the mystry. It makes not sense, it is sense by itself.

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.
SourceStress because of age is a western problem. In India many people don't even know their birthdate! Age is just a number.
SourceIt is normal to have ‘negative’ emotions like anger, sadness or jealousy. Allow them, accept them and let them go. If you fight and struggle you will suffer more. Find a reason to be happy again
SourceWhere poverty is widespread, people believe more in religions. They are uneducated but they have hopes and dreams, based on God. Some gurus take advantage of their dreams and suck the little money that they have out of them. Let’s spread education so that they can really live their dreams.
SourceWhatever you do, offer it to God. You are not acting, whatever you do is for God and from God. Put your heart and love in what you do and enjoy doing it.
SourceNobody is perfect. But in the eyes of someone who loves you, you are. You don’t stop loving someone because of his faults.
SourceWe need to learn to say no instead of having a formal attitude that keeps us from being honest and expressing what we really want.
SourceYou need to have enough self-esteem to know that your time and effort is valuable. Don’t let others ignore that and don’t ignore it yourself. If others take advantage of you, it happens because you let them!
SourceStay true to yourself, even if your ideas and those of your elders clash. Those who love you will realize that your love is more important than old tradition and ridiculous superstition. Time has changed and knowledge and science has progressed.
SourceFor many people the happiness of others is a bigger reason to be sad than their own problems.
SourceFilter the People in your Life and make them and yourself happy!
SourceMeditation has become a sign of being spiritual or religious. Don't do it regularly however simply because your religion tells you to. Such a ritual often becomes a habit and loses its benefit.
SourceYou cannot convert to Hinduism without disregarding a basic Hindu concept.
SourceHow horrible is such a God who wants to keep people frightened and scared instead of happy as they are. For those who promote this it is good, though – they have based their life on the fear of others.
SourceSharing Happiness is more important than sharing Sadness.
SourceI don’t have any experience of God and the experience of others cannot help me. It does not make me believe in God if I read that Jesus talked to God, Mohammed experienced God or Tulsi or Surdas felt God. It even does not help me if my best friend tells me he has lots of experiences with God – as long as I have not had any, I cannot say that I believe in God!
SourceJudging is good and necessary. Use your general knowledge, your mind, your intelligence and also your feelings. You can ask experts, research on the internet and find out more if needed. Get an opinion and don’t be afraid of others criticizing it. Maybe this fear prevents people from judging, too. Have self-confidence and say what you think is right and what is wrong in your eyes.
SourceIf you really and truly love somebody, why are you eager to possess that person? True love is not about owning.
SourceDon’t you degrade your own religion if you need to use tricks to convert people? If your religion is really the best, wouldn’t people decide for it out of their free will and not because they are obliged to?
SourceRespect your food. Your stomach is not a garbage box. You are doing something important when you are eating.
