Category: Food
Mady and Roger arrived in Lausanne. They came up into our little village here to meet us and to have dinner with us in Bertrand's comfortable living room. Mady brought a very delicious chocolate cake! We had some ice-cream with it and on top some very thick cream, cream double. Each country that I visit has some specialties that I like. I really like this cream here in Switzerland. And of course Swiss chocolate, especially dark chocolate. It is the best! In Germany I love the bread. I have never found bread anywhere else that is so good. Except maybe for Austrian bread but that is anyway not far away. I even always bring a lot of bread to India. My parents are not very fond of it but my brothers and I and whoever is there as a guest at that time use to have 'German breakfast' there until all bread is eaten. However someone brought a bread machine to India last September so now we are able to make it ourselves! Now we just have to see how we take this Swiss cream there. We will see!

Every country has it's own special dishes and products. It is also a question of the individually taste. While some people like german bread, others prefer "Ritter Sport" chocolate or the various cakes and pies. It's up to you, find out what you like ;)

Bread is amazing! I'm always suprised by how much I miss it when I travel to places that don't make breads.

You are making my mouth water. Next time I'm in India we should cook together!

Swami Ji, it looks like you have visited New York before. If you ever make it there again try Difara's Pizza in Brooklyn. There is a reason that customers wait 2 or 3 hours for a slice. Also if you are interested in Thai food at all Sripraphai is another place where incredible won't break anyone's wallet. And last but not least the China Town Ice Cream Factory where you can try the most popular Black Sesame ice cream on the east coast.

If someone wants to help you, find out whether he tries to make you afraid or if he gives you love and helps you through compassion and being with you. In this love you can heal, fear cannot heal you.
SourceWhenever you limit God to certain actions or places, corruption starts because there will be someone who owns the place or who sells services for getting closer to God.
SourceA mistake is something that you learn from. Everybody makes mistakes and it doesn’t make sense to walk through life with this guilt until you leave the earth. Do your best to say sorry, to repair what is broken or to change the way if you made a wrong decision. However don’t carry it around after that otherwise you will be a prisoner of this guilt. Be free.
SourceWhen you have a physical relation with someone, it brings an emotional connection and an emotional relation requires physical closeness.
SourceLet your sons and daughters take their own decisions and carry the consequences. Don’t control every little detail but let them get the taste of being adult.
SourceIn a relationship acceptance is necessary. If we cannot accept the other on how he is, we will not be able to maintain a successful and loving relationship.
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.
SourceFeeling Guilty for others won't help them
SourceYou are not done once you have felt you found yourself. This is you today but who will you be tomorrow?
SourceReligion is a firm and strict structure whereas spirituality is soft and flowing. Religion presses into clear and edgy shapes whereas spirituality makes round and soft. Religion comes from the mind and spirituality from the heart.
SourceThere should be four steps to a relationship: First you get to know someone, after that you trust him, the third step is love and the fourth step is a relationship. You cannot trust someone without knowing him. Trust is the base for love. And a relationship should be built on love!
SourceWe often live for others, trying to make them happy by being how they want us to be. We want to wear a mask of what we are not. But you cannot make everyone happy! We have had this experience hundreds of times but still we do the same again and again. Be original and who you are.
SourceReligion creates feelings of guilt and fear leading to psychological problems.
SourceDoes God accept bribes from criminals?
SourceWhat does it mean if you say ‘I am not 100% vegetarian’, ‘I eat meat only when I go out’, or ‘I only eat fish’? It means you are not a vegetarian at all. You feel guilty about it. You are only eating, not killing, but someone killed for you.
SourceA positive attitude from your side will also change your surroundings.
SourceSometimes religion is like poison. Look at these people who gather others around themselves, making up their own ‘religion’ by interpreting some scripture in their own way and create rules. It steals the freedom of the mind. You need to know yourself what is right for you and everybody has different ideas of what is good or bad, right or wrong.
SourceHow should you be able to tell me about my dharma, about what I accept in my life? Everybody has his own dharma. Who are you to tell me about my way of life?
SourceOur stress is created by thinking with ego: I have to do this, I have to be good in that and I should be perfect in another thing. Actually it would be good if I was perfect in everything! Of course this creates stress! We put such high demand on ourselves and on what we should be able to do and to achieve.
SourceSilence is very necessary. It is a jewel of life. Most of our energy is consumed by talking. Be silent and save it.
