Yesterday I said that there are many unhealthy and chemical ingredients like colour and flavor in a lot of food. My friend Suann told me that a very popular fast food chain spends millions of dollar for researching what kind of colour and flavour children like. They use that in their food especially to attract children, no matter how harmful it is for those little ones who are the future of this universe.
Somebody told me that this generation of children will be the first one which will probably be outlived by their parents. Children are not aware of the harm of this food and they can be attracted but why do parents do this and buy this food instead of cooking with love for their loved ones? I have even heard from so many people that there are documentaries about how harmful this fast food is, how it goes into our system and how it stays there. I think this movie is very popular because I have heard it from so many people. But even though so many have seen this film, their business is still going on.
I heard that many people here are suffering from diabetes and have heart problems. What is the reason? Of course it is our nutrition.
One of my friends told that she was always used to eating this food and daily when she woke up she had stomach pain. She even thought it was normal to have this pain because she got used to it. She changed her eating habit and since then, since eating healthy food, she can compare and she realized that it is not good. We cooked a wonderful healthy dinner again tonight and it was our last evening here with Jeremy. Tomorrow early in the morning we will hop on a plane again and fly to Chicago.

I came from a family where we just always had homecooked and wellrounded food. My mom cooked and my dad cooked, we always had good food. When I went to college I couldn't believe the lack of good food in the cafeteria, or what my friends were eating! I think I am one of the few people who actually lost weight during their first semester just because there was nothing I wanted to eat there.

I remember how different my stomach and entire body felt the first time I visited the ashram. Very very different! In a good way. At first I kept craving foods, even foods I didn't like very much and I finally realized what all the foods I was craving had in common- they were full of preservatives. I wasn't craving the substance or nutrition from the foods, just the chemicals. It was quite a realization.

Money does not make people rich or poor. Someone who has 1000 Dollars seems rich to someone who only has 100 Dollars whereas he seems poor to a millionaire. Numbers don’t make you rich. Some millionaires whom I consider poor and I have seen people who don’t have money but who, to me, are very rich people because of their big heart and generosity.
SourceNow you are an adult and you can take your own responsibility in your hands, even if you feel your parents were overprotective. Leave this past behind. This world is not evil and not that dangerous at all. It is there to enjoy.
SourceDon’t bring business talk everywhere. Stop it, at the latest when you go into the bedroom. No business is allowed there anymore, just love and the relationship of you and your partner.
SourceAs a person who does not believe in superstition, one sometimes has a difficult time convincing others that their belief is nonsense. You can try and put up the most scientific arguments but a really superstitious person will still not believe you. Nevertheless I believe that superstitions, just like religious belief in general, is in decline.
SourceDon't try to control everything!
SourceYou don’t need to pretend to be younger than you are. Don’t you see the beauty in so many old people? Your beauty doesn’t come from the outside and doesn’t change if you have a few wrinkles. Be who you are, you are beautiful!
SourceAny kind of disappointment comes from expectations.
SourceWe all should be more open towards others and take life easy.
SourceSomeone who says he is not angry should feel responsible not to make the other one angry through his behaviour.
SourcePeople who blame western culture and women’s clothing for sex crimes in India should take off their shirts and pants, too, because that dress also comes from western culture.
SourceGurus with business interests made it possible to convert to Hinduism!
SourceLove is the only supernatural power that exists and we all have access to it. You just need to open your heart and let it flow.
SourceBeauty shines from within - not through Make-up.
SourceStrangely enough, communication works better with different culture and language!
SourceThe base for strengthening an emotional connection is physical closeness. For any close emotional relation you need to be close physically.
SourceAll Gurus like to say ‘Money is bad and you should not keep it. Give it to me.’ That is how they are rich. Is that their wisdom?
SourceAccept yourself as you are. You can follow a good and healthy example but don't go in any competition. You are fine as you are.
SourceHinduism says: don't die the wrong day or five family members will die, too!
SourceNobody knows what will happen in the future. If we knew what would happen tomorrow, the whole mystery, the adventure, the surprise and the beauty of life would be gone!
SourceMaking a relation is easy. Breaking a relation is also easy. But to maintain a relation will need devotion, love and trust.
