Today finally our suitcases arrived. No, actually four of five suitcases arrived. We are still waiting for Mady's suitcase which should come in the next two days.
Yesterday at the wedding I met some of my old friends from school. I have not seen them since 20 years and yesterday we were all there by chance. It was nice to see how everybody has their own life now. That is why I invited them for dinner today. As we have not seen each other since this long time there are not any expectations between us. Any relation becomes strange when expectations come but it is wonderful if there is no expectation. Then you can really enjoy the love. You can just give your love without needing or wanting anything. We had a lovely dinner together. It is fantastic to be in the Ashram after my Europe tour. I really enjoy my time here, enjoy laughing and joking. It is just great!

Haha, Fun! Isn't it weird watching everyone grow up and look like men, and then later on start to look like old men? Quite a phenomena.

I won’t have a problem with your god if he makes clear that poverty, hunger, war and rape is not happening by his wish.
SourceIf you are not happy, how can you make someone else happy? You need to have what you want to give. If you want to give love, you must have love.
SourceWho are you to decide upon life or death? Who are you to decide whether a person should live or die? Who are you to torture another human being?
SourceIf you really and truly love somebody, why are you eager to possess that person? True love is not about owning.
SourceFlexibility is Hinduism's biggest quality and its biggest drawback!
SourceIf you embarrass your partner in public, it is a sign of disharmony in relationship.
SourceWhy do we need a tragedy to stop believing in God?
SourcePeople often make things more complicated than they are so that they can satisfy their ego by managing something difficult. If you want, you can do that and make everything difficult. Or you can leave your ego and just do it the easy way.
SourceIf you leave all religions and just surrender yourself to love, you will be free of the feelings of sin and guilt. Love will liberate you. Choose this path and you will be free from fear.
SourceA lot of doctors close their practices on Thursday due to superstition! People and doctors both think a doctor's visit on a Thursday means another doctor's visit later! They study, they learned a lot of science and they know about the body, its diseases and cures – but that does not keep them from believing that Thursdays are bad days!
SourceMany people in the ‘spiritual scene’ change very quickly and are not stable in their opinion because they are never sure but always in doubt.
SourceEating is fun, no doubt, but it is not fun anymore when it becomes a habit.
SourceIt is difficult to believe in a God who sits in heaven, whom you cannot see, who doesn’t talk to you, whom you cannot touch, who is adorned with silver and gold in the temples and decorated with flowers, who sometimes gets stolen by thieves, which he cannot do anything about. If he cannot protect himself, how would he protect you?
SourceThings turn out best if you do only one thing at a time. Only if you always put your full concentration on one action you can do everything with love. That is meditation.
SourceHindu scriptures say that a woman always needs protection. First by her father and her brothers, then by her husband and finally by her son. This makes women weaker and worth less - injustice of religion!
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.
SourceKeep an open mind and don't decide how something will be before it happens. In this way you keep yourself from having fun and being happy. Let it happen and then decide. It is more fun!
SourceIf you always only think of the happiness of others, you forget your own happiness. When you have established your own happiness with what you do and with who you are, when you accept your heart, your personality and your own life, then you can help others to find their happiness.
SourceTake out time for your friends - it makes you and them happy!
SourceEverybody’s situation is very individual. If I tell you that it is always good to be honest, it is your responsibility how to use this suggestion. If you decide to be honest, unnecessarily tell your boss that you don’t like him and get fired, I would not think that I was responsible for that!
