Spontaneous Dinner with Friends - 4 Dec 08

Swami Ji and friends

I had some healing sessions again today. One girl came who was here day before yesterday, too, and she was so happy. She said after the healing session she went out and couldn’t stop smiling. One of the other sessions was with Garrett, a friend from Ireland who always comes to Lueneburg to meet me when I am here. He is a very nice man. I think I also wrote before that the healing helped him very much as he had fallen in a deep depression. But now he is very fine and I am happy to see him whenever he comes.

This time he also brought his sister and spontaneously I invited them for dinner. I asked Michael and he was also very happy. In this way we spent a really wonderful evening. I had cooked and together we enjoyed the meal. I like these spontaneous ideas because that often turns out to be much nicer than events that were organized long before. And in my opinion, if you invite a friend, you do not need to get nervous about having to do much of an effort. Because if you have a friend for dinner, it is more like eating with your family. Enjoy being together!

Being spontaneous is so great in friendships! Often, the plans you make don't work out the way you were thinking. If you can be spontaneous, you can make an even better situation than your original plan. Spontaneity brings so much joy and energy into life... you are truly living in the moment with all your heart.

All the way from Ireland? That's great.

It's so encouraging to read about all the work you are doing with people who are in pain. Thank you.

Words of Wisdom

  • Ego

    There is a thin line in between healthy pride and too much ego. Everybody needs some ego and everybody should be proud of himself. Without ego or pride you cannot survive. You cannot exist without ego because you need your ego to identify yourself.

    Source
  • Positivity

    God is there for you in every moment and he does what is best for you.

    Source
  • Personal

    It is good to unfriend or block those who don’t have friendly feelings for you because each time they read any of your posts, they get more annoyed and angry. Save them from anger and bad feelings, don’t spoil their mood and day. Indeed, it is a good deed. :)

    Source
  • Happiness

    We are mostly happy when we take but true happiness is when you enjoy giving.

    Source
  • Love

    The great Indian culture says that falling in love is a crime. You teach your daughters not to talk to male college classmates but expect them to sleep with a complete stranger after their wedding.

    Source
  • Presence

    If nobody can know anyway what will happen on the next day, why should we worry about it? There will never be an answer! We will see what will happen and we will deal with whatever comes. The past is past and tomorrow will come. Live in the presence, today, now!

    Source
  • Love

    You cannot tell someone to love but you can be proud of your own love. Love your feelings, love and celebrate your love. You have to love yourself and be proud of the love that you can give to others. Never stop loving yourself in this frustration. At the right time you will meet the right person, there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to try stopping your love. Don’t create any guilt. Your love is great.

    Source
  • Personal

    I get mails asking if I can send energy to improve their chakras and how much my fees would be? They used to pay and get energy from other Swamis or some Gurus. I want to make clear that I don't believe energy can be sold or bought and sent in this way for money. Be careful with this kind of charlatans!

    Source
  • Personal

    I have never seen myself as a teacher and I don’t do it until now. I always thought of myself as someone who is still learning himself – and not someone who could teach others. I do not see myself in this light and I do not want others to see me like this.

    Source
  • Religion

    In the history of mankind, many religions have died and with time, the present religions will become a part of history as well.

    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
  • Money

    It is nothing new that this society is focused on money. It is nothing new that the masses don’t care about the individual. But what about you? Why are you playing along?

    Source
  • Food

    Don't eat while walking. Can't you take ten minutes to sit down and eat consciously? You are not just filling a garbage box, it is your body!

    Source
  • Gurus

    No Guru or master can tell you who you are because we are all unique. You have to find the answer yourself.

    Source
  • Decision

    Sometimes you can either go left or right and there is no way in the middle. Follow your heart. No decision makes the world stand still, everything will go on, no matter which way you go.

    Source
  • Fear

    Scriptures and religion install fear of magic and ghosts in children and adults.

    Source
  • Perception

    Not any belief is good or bad, no person is good or bad and no place is good or bad. It is only your perception.

    Source
  • Anger

    Gyan Yogis say that there is no duality. Everything is one and everyone is the same because god is in everybody. So if God is in you, in me and in everyone around, against whom do you want to direct your aggression? Anger can only exist in duality. When everything is God, then everything is the same, everyone is love.

    Source
  • Gurus

    Guru is not a title, it is a relation like brother or father. Swami is a title for a spiritual person. This is the difference.

    Source
  • Self-Confidence

    You are loveable, lovely and loving. You don’t need to do any change to yourself to please another person. You don’t need to play a role or wear a mask. This world is so big and there are so many different people in this world that it is normal if a few don’t agree with you or don’t like you. Stop comparing and just be yourself.
