Saturday is Cleaning-Day? You are free to Decide - 6 Jul 09

Swami ji

Several times I have already talked about how people have different faces in their lives. I thought about it and saw that sometimes our patterns, habits and the rules that we set for our behavior help to create these different faces. We have for example different clothes. There are casual clothes, work clothes and party clothes. And when you wear certain clothes it creates a certain mood and energy. You will be in the suiting mood and energy. This creates different faces.

We even have a mindset with different days. Many times we are used to do certain things on certain days, for example Saturday which is a popular day for cleaning the house and doing garden work. So you already create the energy for this before the day is there. Often people fix their mind about their eating habits for religious reasons. Some people have the rule not to eat meat on Fridays and many people eat a great lunch on Sunday.

This all helps us to fix ourselves into a certain frame and our emotions and mood is getting very much dependent on certain days, certain clothes etc. Then we cannot feel free but it becomes a rule: if I wear these clothes, I have this mood. I have to have this feeling now because it is this weekday.

I am not really against it if something makes you feel good and happy. It is great if you feel good when it is there. But on the other hand, if these conditions are not given, you have difficulties being happy. You need certain things to feel happy. But to be happy and to free the consciousness from all these rules, regulations and dependencies we need to develop more and to grow our consciousness more. We won’t depend on time anymore. I can make Sunday today. Material, time, clothes, food, places, anything should not matter. We are the creator and can create anytime, anyplace.

Sometimes rules can be useful in life. But not if we can't live without them and not if there will be sulkiness, if we break them at times. Having the ability to let things go and still be relaxed is very important ;)

"We are the creator and can create anytime, anyplace." This a key that many people never become aware of. It is so important to life.

Words of Wisdom

  • Beauty

    Why do you strive to look the opposite of how you look like? Be yourself and love who you are. Love comes from inside, from the heart and from the soul.

    Source
  • Gurus

    How can all those Swamis and Gurus give liberation of attachment to material when they themselves are so attached to gold and money?

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion often has the effect of poison: it kills people, it separates them, it creates hate among them. Human is made by god and religion is made by man. God did not create people with different religions, he made us all the same.

    Source
  • Sex

    If you work with sex, do it, but don't call a sex workshop a Tantra workshop!

    Source
  • Ego

    This is what modern society teaches people for their work: You are good if you are the best. You are good if you are the number one. If you are in the higher range, your ego gets artificially boosted so that you perform even better, bringing even more income and profit to the company.

    Source
  • Religion

    Don’t you think that the basic reason for you to believe in religion, to follow a guru or to be a member of a sect is actually fear and even greed?

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion's starting Point: Fear - Religion's Source of Income today: Fear

    Source
  • Sex

    The push of sexual force onto your mind can even make angry and violent. That is why it is good to let sexual energy flow in body and soul, not in the mind.

    Source
  • Life

    Don't hide the changes of your life! Your past is a part of you!

    Source
  • Prediction

    Nobody in the world can tell the future.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion destroys the lives of children!

    Source
  • Sex

    Don’t teach them that they are worth less and stop placing a woman’s honour in between her legs! We have a lot to change! The idea that women are subordinates. The thought that women are easy targets and that only they can lose their sexual purity. And so much more!

    Source
  • Gurus

    Not rarely you can see that yoga or meditation gurus mix two common practices and call it their own, put a patent on it and then sell it.

    Source
  • Religion

    Don’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?

    Source
  • Relationship

    Long-term partners or married couples: feelings are more important than a paper or rituals!

    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
  • Silence

    Learn being together in silence. Words often do not really express who we are. Express yourself in silence and you will see how much more you can express!

    Source
  • Gurus

    Cheating gurus play with the greed of religious people who want to believe in superstition. They lure them in, show them their ‘siddhis’ to make them more and more greedy for success or money and actually suck their money out of them. And in this way they themselves get rich, accumulate tons of gold and just make ridiculous amounts of money.

    Source
  • Responsibility

    You are not responsible for everything and everybody. Relax, lean back and watch what others are doing. It is fine, enjoy whatever comes!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion has always worked like a dictatorship, exploiting people, using fear to make them accept the rules without asking. The dictator makes the rules and you have no way to change them.
