Somebody came today, who was giving company to one of my healing clients. He showed me a kind of electronic device, a little box, and asked: "Swami Ji, can you feel the cosmic energy that is in it?" Then he switched it on with a power button. I answered "No." He said "Oh, I thought maybe you will be impressed because you feel wonderful energy." But I did not.
After the man had gone my friend Thomas told that he had recently seen an advertisement: apparently someone created a pill for enlightenment. Eat it and you are enlightened. This kind of thing nearly became part of culture. We want to buy everything and think we can have everything for money. Even enlightenment.
Especially the evening was nice today. Two friends of Thomas and Iris came for dinner. After food one of them played the tanpura and sang with it. He is a great singer. Thomas also made us happy by playing the rudraveena. Music is a wonderful medium for concentration. meditation can be more easy with it. Music can bring you in that state of consciousness in which you can focus on the inside and try to find your inner joy.

Wow, I can't believe anyone would actually believe that a pill could make you enlightened. This is certainly the influence of Western culture, which has a pill for everything. But all jokes aside, I truly wish that anyone searching in ernest for a path to enlightenment be guided by their own heart in the most genuine of manners. And music is a great tool! Heard the rudraveena played by Thomas last night...very cool!

THIS kind of honesty and directness is helpful and healing. It is not meant to hurt you and if it does that harm is coming from inside you and not from the person being honest.

Religious people chose religion out of fear that religion could be right and they could really go to hell. They are fearful from the root and religion adds fuel to this fear, presenting guidelines to just narrowly escape eternal pain.
SourceOnly those who are not respectable can be disrespectful towards others because they don’t know the value of respect themselves.
SourceI believe the concept of open relationships is against human nature. If you continue your sexual relationship for a longer time, you will develop feelings and that is the point where jealousy can happen, too! If you love someone, if you feel for someone and this person sleeps with someone else, it is natural that you get jealous!
SourceGod is not a Hindu, Christian, Jew, Muslim or Buddhist. He does not have a certain form, shape or colour. The same God that lives in you also lives in me and will be there even if all religions vanish from this world.
SourceThe aim of each prayer is getting close to God. A prayer can be in any form. Different religions suggest different ways of praying and those who did not learn any way of praying, like children, have their own prayers.
SourceThere are many religions and sects in which the leaders and gurus are those who communicate to god for the other ‘normal people’. You can have this relation to God yourself!
SourceReligion's starting Point: Fear - Religion's Source of Income today: Fear
SourceNever feel like a sinner. God does not punish you, he loves you.
SourceGive value to your relations and the people around you. See and feel their love and love them back. Store their love in your heart. Care for friendship, care for your relations, care for love.
SourceMake one meal a day a meeting point, a ritual for the whole family together.
SourceWe need to integrate the worldly and material life with spirituality.
SourceMaking love does not only mean sexual activities. Hug someone, create a lovely atmosphere and just love someone. Letting your love flow is making love for me.
SourceIn the history of mankind, many religions have died and with time, the present religions will become a part of history as well.
SourceDo you think of meditation as a competition? Whoever can sit in meditation the longest is the winner! That person is closer to enlightenment than all others or has even already reached enlightenment! Those who cannot sit still for even half an hour are beginners, losers, materialists and very non-spiritual people!
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!
SourceLove cannot grow if you don’t have closeness. Sometimes it is very hard to get close to someone. Sometimes there is physical closeness but no closeness of the heart, sometimes the mind is close but nothing else. You cannot establish a strong relationship if you don’t accept full closeness.
SourceWays of worship like feeding a statue of God would be a big thing to laugh about, was it not a systematic plan of religion to keep you in a numb state of mind where you will not question an order even if it is complete nonsense. You are requested to switch off your mind and follow what you are being told.
SourceTake out time for your friends - it makes you and them happy!
SourceWe don't need all these complicated philosophies. We just need to learn four letters: love. It is that simple. Live in love, believe in love and share love.
SourcePeople put a label on everything, on themselves and everybody else, creating limitations! We are all the same, have the same soul and live on the same planet.
