Tourism in India and Quality Time with Friends - 26 Dec 09

Sunil, Manish and Swami Ji at the Ashram in India

Today we had another beautiful day. My friend Manish and his wife had plans to visit relatives before going back home and so Yashendu, Purnendu, Ramona and I spontaneously decided to bring them to Hathras to their relatives. We had heard of a place close to this town, a Jain temple with a beautiful park around which is a kind of tourist attraction.

So we started after the children’s lunch and after about an hour drive we were there. It was a beautiful place but I think I have mentioned many times that I am not really a tourist. I enjoyed the day very much, really, but not because of the beautiful place. I enjoyed it because of the great company, because we had a good time together. Sunil also came with us and even came back to Vrindavan with us after dropping off Manish and his wife and son. Sunil left after dinner, too, to catch his train going back to his town. It was another great day in this beautiful life.

I didn't realize the ashram was so close!

At least you got to spend time with friends, even if you don't like sight seeing.

Words of Wisdom

  • Body

    If you feel you are overweight and you are unhappy with it, do something against it! You are the one who has control over your mind and who can shape your body. Take your responsibility and start.

    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
  • Feelings

    Wouldn’t it be beautiful if we did not lose the value of feelings in the translation into speech? If there was a way how we can express the whole value of the feeling?

    Source
  • Belief

    If you know that something is impossible but you still believe, you either want to close your eyes from reality or you are stupid. You will keep on cheating yourself and others - or will end up disappointed!

    Source
  • Spiritual

    One of the most dangerous aspects of modern spirituality is that everybody can just invent anything and sell it as the truth, even if it is impossible and unrealistic.

    Source
  • God

    Is God trustworthy? Should you really have faith in someone you never met?

    Source
  • Religion

    Priests and organizers are like agents. religion is their business and images of gurus and icons are their products. They have to sell something and get income to make their living and if they can attract people to buy at their tents by selling those pictures, it is fine for them. It is human worship and it is wrong.

    Source
  • Belief

    Atheists have done something that is not very different from what Buddha has done – they formed just another group with a different belief, the belief that there is no god.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion kills. Fasting can take the life of an unborn baby.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Whenever you criticize something that is morally wrong and someone reacts strongly, it is a sign that he or she knows what you are talking about, has acted in the way you criticize and feels guilty about.

    Source
  • Ego

    Ego can make you blind so that you are not able to see the truth which will affect your decisions.

    Source
  • Self-Confidence

    Do what you feel is right. Yes, you may need some more courage to face a few more storms than others. It might get uncomfortable sometimes but it would be much more uncomfortable for you to go against what you really want to do.

    Source
  • Feelings

    Sensitivity is a jewel of humanity. If there was no sensitivity, everybody would be just like stone!

    Source
  • Feelings

    People are not sensitive for their own feelings anymore. Come down from head to heart, from thinking to feeling. Switch off the mind from time to time and listen to what your heart says. Then you will discover your true feelings.

    Source
  • Positivity

    Fall in love often. And not only with people, no, fall in love with a smell, fall in love with a colour, love the moment. Love the way how a person talks, love how friendly your neighbour is, love it that your body feels healthy. This will help you to live in a positive way.

    Source
  • Love

    Love 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.

    Source
  • Life

    Stop running behind achievements and appreciation from outside. Appreciate yourself, love yourself and take time for yourself.

    Source
  • Happiness

    When you are happy you can make others happy! Like this you can spread happiness. Give something to others when you are satisfied yourself. That will increase your happiness even more.

    Source
  • Followers

    Real followers always need someone to follow. When they get disappointed by the person they are following, they search for another one.

    Source
  • Forgiveness

    If you forgive yourself a mistake, why don’t you forgive others for the same? Forgiveness will give you satisfaction and peace.
