Sensitivity towards Feelings of Others - 29 Feb 08

29 Feb 2008  Vrindavan, India

Category: Feelings

Sunset in Ashram

I said yesterday that I will talk about our sensitivity towards other people's feelings. We are especially sensitive regarding feelings that we have already experienced ourselves. We know that energy, know that feeling. The atoms that we breathe in and out have energy. Due to this we can also feel the other person's mood. I will give an example for this: You go somewhere to visit somebody and suddenly, without really knowing why, you feel sad. Maybe you realize that there is no reason for you to be sad. It is in the energy. So you feel that something is wrong there. I had this experience several times. Just taking a breath in this atmosphere makes you sad. Five minutes later somebody tells you that something happened like somebody passed away or had an accident. Nobody told you but you could feel it in your heart. This is our sensitivity towards energy. Atoms enter your body with every breath you take. You don't have information through your senses, your eyes or ears, but through something else. It means the energy is reaching and affecting you. Maybe you take some time to make that conclusion, to realize that this is not your mood, not your energy but you can feel it. Sometimes when you are more conscious about your own feelings, when you are more concentrated and focused you can also figure out that something happened before someone tells you.
Today, after many years I went for a walk in Vrindavan, down to the river Yamuna together with my friends. As I already said, a lot of things changed. Vrindavan also grew bigger. A lot more people live here now. On the riverbank however it is still peaceful and calm.

OH you should be nice to people. Why the heck not? Why not be sensitive?

On one hand, I firmly believe that you are responsible for your own happiness. On the other hand, I KNOW that other people affect you happiness. They don't ultimately decide your inner emotion, but they affect it all the time.

Words of Wisdom

  • Religion

    Liberation or heaven? Hindu religion confuses people with its karma-philosophy!

    Source
  • Psychology

    All is a game of necessity in this world. If you feel a person or place doesn’t need you, leave it immediately and reach somewhere where you are needed. Never leave those who need you. If you want to be happy and respected, become necessary and useful.

    Source
  • Negativity

    Constant criticism or negativity is never appreciated, even if it is said in seemingly nice words.

    Source
  • Food

    Discipline is very important in our nutrition. Eat when you are hungry. Hunger can be in the eyes and in the mind, too, not only in your belly. Learn to distinguish that.

    Source
  • Identity

    People often have different faces, for work, for home, for friends and so on. That makes it difficult for you and others to understand you. Just be who you are!

    Source
  • Gurus

    Gurus should look for students, not for followers and disciples!

    Source
  • Relationship

    In my relationship I want to give the command of my life and my heart to the one I love. Now you can guide me because I know you, I trust you, in your love, you will do best for me.

    Source
  • Emotions

    Whatever you are jealous about, do not fight the feeling, it will only make it worse.

    Source
  • Sex

    How come a girl loses her honour when she has sex with a boy that does not fit? How come honour is connected with having sex at all?

    Source
  • Religion

    Religious preaching is a performing art, not a divine act.

    Source
  • Money

    India does not need entertainment events that cost Billions of Dollars while every minute five poor Indians die of hunger and about half of Indian’s children below five are malnourished.

    Source
  • Love

    Maybe you are sad because you still love the other one and he or she doesn’t want to be with you but you still have to love your love! Don’t be angry with yourself for this feeling and don’t switch into hate because of this advice. It is okay to follow your heart.

    Source
  • Body

    Teach your children that there is nothing wrong if you get wrinkles when you get older and that grey hair doesn’t take any of your beauty. Teach them to love themselves. Help them feel good in their body just as it is.

    Source
  • Freedom

    We all have to be like children. We need to find our inner child which is innocent and has the freedom to express.

    Source
  • Magic

    Siddhis are not real. Don't be afraid, nobody can do anything to you!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion has created social structure - and now we have the ‘untouchable’ caste!

    Source
  • Religion

    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.

    Source
  • Superstition

    The top scientists of India don’t trust their own work enough but have to ask God for support. Unlucky numbers are skipped. Doctors are afraid of bad energies. These people are all literate but unfortunately not educated.

    Source
  • Sects

    Come out of your system, sect or religion to see what is wrong with it.

    Source
  • Love

    Love is when you want to enjoy and laugh together, when you want to smile and celebrate together but also cry together and give each other support in difficult times.
